Mbdude, whether or not your approach is wise, it's not how Tara always approaches rotations. She is a master of nullifying the other team's best player by finding a defensive match up against them. It's often why Dijonai gets sent in mid-game with a specific defensive assignment. See, for example, how hounded Pivec was last year in our game against OSU. I generally agree with your approach on offense, but Tara has an exceptional reputation for taking away the other team's best strength, and that often depends on specific guarding assignments. That, in turn affects how much we want to prioritize our best offensive players versus our best defensive match-ups.
