The Bruins feature depth at guard, and despite losing a scrimmage to San Diego State, coach Mick Cronin is figuring out the top offensive and defensive lineups.
Don’t cancel those season tickets just yet. Yes, UCLA lost a basketball scrimmage against severely shorthanded San Diego State. No, Bruins coach Mick Cronin wasn’t trying to win. Not even close. “I used it as a practice,” Cronin said Tuesday of the closed scrimmage earlier this month. Cronin tinkered with his lineups, using eight different groups of five players, the mass substitutions resembling hockey shifts.
Almost the entire roster remains in the early stages of learning the way Cronin wants his team to play defense. The coach paused a trapping drill during practice Tuesday to tell Harris he could leave the court if he wanted to do things his way. “I tell the players, ‘Players determine playing time, '” Cronin said before practice started. “‘… Everybody put in my situation would play the guy that gets the job done the most, make it hard on me.
