That takes guts to bench JT against Mich State when he's maybe the one guy that can pull the game out if he gets hot and Cummard's out with foul trouble and all you have to replace him is Collinsworth.

But to be honest, he didn't have a choice in benching Tav. Tav was a disaster after the first few minutes in the MichState game. Majerus was appreciated because he had the guts to not play players who didn't do what they should on the court. He could handle mistakes, but he would go nuts on players who would lose focus or step out of the offense. Tav would never see the court for his shockingly bad shot selection and his bad defense.
