Summary: Scott Skiles has been under fire for his minute allocation and rotation design since he joined on as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, but is he really doing anything to deserve those criticisms? Well, we don't necessarily think so, and we are prepared to tell you why it's not a simple issue. In any case, much has been said about Skiles and the minutes crunch in the past few weeks. Before you get to our take, be sure to check out these noteworthy contributions (reproduced from Frank’s earlier game reviews / notes posts): SI Ĥ Visualing Scott Skiles' rotations There's been plenty of talk recently about the Bucks' ever-changing rotations, but Rob Mahoney's latest at Sports Illustrated offers the best way to visualize it. Very cool. Hoops World Ĥ Bucks' bigs coping with uncertainty Speaking of the Bucks' rotations, Sam Dalembert is the latest to imply his lack of enchantment with his minutes. Join the club, bud. "It is not working," Dalembert said. "It's not quite, I thought my role would have been a little bit more. But, like I said it's coaching and everybody is doing their best. "Everybody just has to be ready when they call their name to produce. We have a lot of guys here and everybody is pretty much in the same place. We're striving for minutes. When we get out there we support each other and the next teammate. We're managing for the time being."
