There is a reason why its called preseason. Do fans expect the starters to play 30+ minutes. I mean, there are times when it happens, but I think its more exception than the rule when it happens in PS.

Sarver did a great gesture fo the fans, but he did not even need to say anything about who was playing. Hell, he guy couldve walked out and said thank you for coming we hae a gift for everyone who came today.


Everyone knows how this works, but Pops didn't even show up to the game to the endure the blowout he created. He keeps pushing the bounds of what's best for his team .vs. giving the fans (and networks) what they've paid for.

They didn't pay to see him. They paid to see stars, not some scrub coach.
