Agree - IF the coach allows them to play! I know of a couple of coaches that never allow the bench to play unless he sees fit (just like a regular season). If I was a coach, I'd want to get those kids experience, but at least few don't seem to think that's necessary. I've seen coaches use some of their spring matches as a means of gaining experience for their bench players as well as for their starters (when they have a majority of starters returning.) I found it interesting to see coaches under those circumstances start their backups knowing it was fairly likely that they would fall behind their opponent's starters. Once the coach determined the team was far enough behind starters were substituted into the game en masses and were given the task of working hard to make a comeback to win the game. If they were able to win the game the coach would let the deficit increase for the next game. The backups gained experience by playing against the starters of the opposing team while the starters gained experience from playing under pressure to under the pressure of needed to make significant turnarounds in their attempts to win games. Pess, interesting concept and I di like it. Seems that somebody has some common sense after all. ESTRELLA  |

Who are you calling Pess? I think he prefers Pessque, with the accent on the "que".

I'm amazed at how little time these coaches have. Just think of how little time they'll have with the incoming frosh before the season begins.

Who are you people?? Of course spring is worth it!! In fact, I think they should open up summer to have college coaches work with the players. Play is too sloppy at the start of the season, and are sport needs to be taken more seriously by players. The ncaa restricts so much time it's a wonder anyone gets better.

I think it is as long as they play their best as if they were playing in the NCAA tournament. Yes, it would be worth it to me.
