Rose's biggest mistake this season - rotations
His biggest mistake was his investment this season in terms of playing time with:
Worthington, Nixon, Toolson, and Nielsen
While at the same time keeping Bartley and Andrus glued to the bench.
By the end of the season the top 4 were giving the team virtually no minutes (because they are bad defenders), and Bartley and Andrus were key players.
Imagine if Bartley and Andrus has been allowed to grow and develop during the first 1/2 to 3/4th of the season.
I think there's a decent chance that Worthingon and Nixon will never play for BYU again.
