I think that the game this year conspired against the stretcher. In the qualification matches, there wasn't enough time to plan a complicated strategy. This precluded the use of the stretcher and many other things.
The elims would have been a good time to try something like this, but there weren't enough matches. It was possible to win with just 4 matches, and 2 sometimes didn't count. This wasn't enough time to get to thoroughly know the capabilities of all the members. If there had been more elim matches, I would think that more complex strategies would have been attempted and the stretcher would have been used more.
The only time that I saw the stretcher used effectively in a actuall match was in the finals at VCU, though I saw many teams use it effectively in practice.
