It happens? True or False?
One side:
False. College coaches want to win. And, that's understandable because their livelihood depends on the team being successful. They're just going to roster the best players and only play the best players, because that's going to maximize their potential of winning. Nothing is ever done for political reasons.
The other side:
True. Politics happen all the time. Coaches want to win. But, there's always some room in the margins that allows them to make some moves or decisions around roster spots and/or playing time that are better for specific individuals above others, or, that serve some purpose that was nothing to do with winning games.
Which do you think happens more often?
