P.S.  Out of curiosity, did you attend any of the games at Maples the last year Carrington was on The Farm?

Out of curiosity, why do you ask?
Judging by your posts mentioning "WBB" or "Carrington", it seems you started commenting on WBB in Nov. 2019 (Carrington's last month of playing at Stanford).
Out of curiosity, did you attend any of the WBB games during Carrington's career before her last year on The Farm? 
  If not, then you saw at most only her last 4 games at Stanford.  And further, you came to conclusions about Tara's substitution patterns by your 2nd or 3rd game.  You continue with those opinions it seems.

Oh for goodness sakes.  I've been attending Stanford women's hoops games for a loooong time (20 years, at least).  
And that's all I'll say in response to your ridiculous post . . . okay, I lied.  If you had attended games, watched what was happening in the games, watched what was happening on the bench, and recall the whole scholarship situation when it came to Carrington's last year of eligibility, you might have questions yourself.

But whatever.  Tara is a Hall of Famer.  She never makes mistakes.  Everyone is happy all the time.  Blah, blah, blah.

Look, it can be equally true that Tara is an awesome coach; Stanford was and is lucky to have her; and certain players have ended up in her doghouse for whatever reason.  Why is that so hard to comprehend or believe?

dijonai was my favorite player from high school through her time at stanford, so i followed her career pretty closely. i think you may be forgetting that her playing time was affected by injuries. her last year at stanford, she was still recovering from a recurrence of a serious knee injury. by the next year at baylor, she was healthy. in terms of whether tara should have given the available 5th year scholarship to dijonai or anna, i would have preferred dijonai, but i speculated that tara anticipated that dijonai and haley would be splitting time at the same position - not ideal for players one would expect to play 30-35 minutes. (haley of course got injured, but that was not expected).

otoh, dijonai certainly blossomed at baylor, so i suppose it's conceivable that i'm wrong and mulkey was more willing than tara to center an offense around dijonai. it was wonderful to see her play against uconn. and she was fouled!!!
