Why did Hibbert stop gettiing PT?

During the first half of November he was averaging about 30 mpg and had a nice contribution to your 5 game win streak... since then his PT has dropped considerably. I think he has good potential and will eventually be a very solid center, why has his PT dropped?

O'Brien believes the vets give him a greater chance to win, so Hibbert's minutes were reduced once Murphy and Foster returned from injury.

It's been the subject of much discussion around here. Why we don't play the young guys more since we're not winning anyway is beyond me.

Murphy and Foster give us the best chance to win. Not because we have a shot at winning this year, but because playing them is going to get O'Brien canned and that's the only way we're going to win in the near future.
