How the heck is Carter not starting and playing more

T. Carter has been one of the top scorers during this season, but yet he is not starting, plays fewer minutes than Weather, or Stewart, but usually outscores their points combined, ie Al. game 19 to 15, SC gane 24 to 11, Mz. game 15 to 20, TA&N 19-13, SC 9 to 38, ARK 26 to 20.
So for these six games he has outscored the combined two in 4 of 6. In the total he has scored 102 to their 117 in a lot fewer minutes per game. He is the second leading scorer on the team, only 3 per game less than Perry. His drives to the basket are almost a thing of beauty the way he weaves through defenders and his shots are more accurate than Spoon who is often wild or must pull up for a jump shot.
Were I coach, Carter would start over Stewart or Spoon, and would certainly play more minutes than either of them.
Our team, I believe, has as more talent over several of the teams we have lost to, but our passing game, is....well, lacking. We dribble too much out front. I have to question the overall game strategy. Not that I do not appreciate what Howland has done his five yrs. recovering from his predecessor's debacle, but yet.......

Let him start over Weatherspoon. Hell, let Molinar start over him.

The reason is early on in the season, Carter was in a shooting slump and they found he was shooting much better coming off the bench than starting.
I think him switching back and forth from the PG to SG role was messing with him too.
If I'm not mistaken he's getting about the same minutes as he was when he was starting, he's just contributing from off the bench now. Also think he's in contention for 6th man of the year now

We’re 11-4 in SEC play since he made the switch. Seems to be working.
