Cronin doesn't play the bench much and doesn't develop it with on the court minutes. That's been his MO his entire time at UCLA.
But, at least during the FF run, when the bench was needed, it delivered, so he can develop bench players to be ready when needed. Think about how well Nwuba played v. Michigan to get to the FF when he was needed (as well as others). But since then? yeah. I do question the development of the bench players, especially in not getting them more PT early in the year and in blowouts.
