Without making any definitive statements, Lorenzo Romar told Andy Katz, in a report on ESPN.com today, that while Husky basketball games are likely to tip-off with two guards on the floor, they may often choose to finish with three.
Coach said to Katz that, “Whichever one doesn’t start (out of Overton, Gaddy, and Thomas) is going to be like a starter. They’ll all bring something in their own special way. If one of them isn’t contributing then we’re not a complete team.”
Reading between the lines, I think Coach is preparing Venoy Overton to come off the bench again this season, as many have suspected. (LoRo’s already said that I.T. will start.) Interesting, though, to hear Coach say that we’ll often finish with all three on the floor, a look that would distinguish the Huskies from pretty much any other team in the nation, when you account for the distinct talents of all three guys.
There’s some other interesting stuff about scheduling in the ESPN piece which you can find here.
Hey, thanks for coming. More soon.

I noticed in the ESPN.com article that it says that Gant will be starting along side Q.P. – wasn’t a quote from Romar, but was stated like this is what he told Katz. Although this isn’t a surprise given Gant’s role last season, it was the first time Romar made this public. Thus, it seems that there is a high likelihood that the starting lineup will be: Gaddy, IT, QP, Gant, and MBA. Like last year, we will start big and gradually get smaller and quicker as the game progresses. Sounds great to me!
