on taking a player out for the remaining of the half once he gets 2 fouls, no matter how early in the first half. Not blaming Fred it's just the coach think thing to do these days it seems. Been that way for awhile but I don't remember it being done like that in the "old days". I've never been a big fan of it, especially if it is a key player. I understand how it can work both ways, but you may be taking your best player out for no reason. Today Georges never got back in the flow. Maybe he was never in it and today wasn't his day, but he sat out a long time in the first half and then half time. Sure did try to "force" his way back in.
