Seriously, you need to get a scrimmage each week, to fix your players game shape. Perhaps try a faster offencive tactic and stop training stamina:) It's hard to say what the problem is. I have always had good minute results with strictly follow, even when using my 2-9k backups. Pehaps you keep having unlucky game stoppages or too many time outs get taken. Perhaps the GS is the main reason, your coach does not go to the bench too often.
