The subject of how to manage players with two fouls has gotten a lot of ink from Kenpom. He tracks "two foul participation" or the number of minutes a player with two fouls in the first half plays after getting the second foul. Currently, the Bonnies rank #57 in Division I. We have an obvious problem here, since our only bench player the coach gives many minutes is AJ, who gets to play 35% of the available minutes. Shaw has shown some nice minutes, but he fouls at the rate of 9.3 per 40 minutes and has the highest turnover rate on the team. I don't know how you manage this other than the Dutch uncle talk to players in practice. I have observed, however, with no empirical data to back it up, that some of our key players have a tendency to pick up a quick second foul on those days when the first one comes early. Should they be pulled immediately after Foul #1 and sit for a few minutes to get their heads screwed on right? I would probably try it, but I am just a fan and therefore have the advantage of not having my livelihood depend upon such tactics.
On this same topic, it was interesting to see the Bonnies go small when Osun fouled out. We didn't do badly for that brief stint, but I don't know how long that lineup could endure an extensive period against a quality opponent like VCU.
