    You have have the Florida State's women soccer coach, his team already assured of a NCAA Tournament berth, leaving 7 of his best players at home from the ACC Tournament to save on wear and tear.

    Some coaches are applauding him for not exposing his team to the rigor of the conference tournament, since the NCAA Tournament is more important.

    Renews the argument for why:

    1. NCAA Tournaments completely skew the idea of "success" in a season.

    2. Conference tournaments should have no bearing on automatic bids and should be conducted midseason, with all the RPI issues attached accordingly.
