Rhode Island MBB's 2017-2018 Rotation - Setting Up the Lineups

At the end of the day, many passionate college basketball fans share the mutual feeling that they could be the perfect head coach for their respective team. I am not an exception to that common trend. If I were Rhode Island's Dan Hurley, I have my own views on exactly how he should set up his lineups for the 2017-2018 season and find success again.

Starting lineup: Jeff Dowtin, Jared Terrell, E.C. Matthews, Cyril Langevine, Michael Layssard Jr.

Bench lineup: Jarvis Garrett/Daron Russell, Stanford Robinson, Christion Thompson, Nicola Akele/Ryan Preston, Michael Tertsea/Andre Berry

3-point lineup: Jarvis Garrett/Daron Russell, Stanford Robinson, Jared Terrell, E.C. Matthews, Nicola Akele

Defensive lineup: Jeff Dowtin, Jared Terrell, Stanford Robinson, Cyril Langevine, Michael Tertsea

Playing big lineup: Jared Terrell, E.C. Matthews/Stanford Robinson, Ryan Preston/Cyril Langevine, Michael Layssard Jr, Michael Tertsea/Andre Berry

Playing small lineup: Jarvis Garrett/Stanford Robinson, Jeff Dowtin, Jared Terrell, E.C. Matthews, Ryan Preston/Cyril Langevine

Free throw lineup: Jarvis Garrett, Stanford Robinson/Christion Thompson, Jared Terrell, E.C. Matthews, Nicola Akele

Using the full court press/trap lineup: Jarvis Garrett/Daron Russell, Jeff Dowtin, Christion Thompson, Stanford Robinson, Jared Terrell

Beating the full court press/trap lineup: Jarvis Garrett/Daron Russell, Jeff Dowtin, Christion Thompson, Stanford Robinson, Jared Terrell

Pure aggression lineup: Jarvis Garrett/Daron Russell, Jeff Dowtin, Stanford Robinson/Christion Thompson, Jared Terrell, Ryan Preston/Cyril Langevine

Garbage time lineup: Will Leviton, Eric Dadika, Daron Russell, Nicola Akele, Andre Berry

Although I have full faith in all of the beliefs that I just relayed about the most optimal 2017-2018 Rhode Island MBB rotation, I do not envy this man's task.

About a URI Attendee

Hi, I attend URI basketball games religiously. I am also a pessimist. These 2 facts do not always mix cohesively. Read my articles to see why.
