Then if due to injury, illness or foul trouble, its the next man up. But, there was no backup planned for the center position. Sam Miller is not that guy. He is a forward. I even gave examples like Johnnie Davis and Donald Smith made each other better by practicing against each other. Prior to Steve's death and I continue to believe that you've got to have succession planning for every position.

This isn’t about the lack of a succession plan. Steve just finished his freshman year and should have had 3 more years ahead of him. His “lucky” understudy would have also been a freshman, which likely means he would have been a backup for 4 years. That’s not a succession plan. Steve’s death isn’t something that could been planned for and certainly isn’t a hole that can be filled in 6 weeks.
