I put trainees in starting, backup, and reserve positions in tonight's scrimmage, to make sure they got 48 minutes at their positions, and made sure to strictly follow the depth chart, yet they were replaced during garbage time. I also found that one of the players was given minutes at a position I did not assign him to. This is the second time this has happened, and from memory, is not happening with any predictability, making it even more aggravating. Is there any reasonable explanation for this? One would suspect there is no such thing as "garbage time" in a scrimmage.

For the record, the training setup was one of the things that drove me away from the game during my first go-round with BB, and I'd hate for it to drive me away again because I can't take full advantage of it.

Why did you dress 10 players?
Want to train 1 player, dress 9, want to train 2 players, dress 8
there's no perfection here but don't leave a loophole

No matter what you do, there is always a small chance that your player will not get the minutes that you believe they should. A few suggestions:

1. ALWAYS play strictly follow depth chart, when dealing with rookies minutes that you are trying to train.

2. When looking at getting certain players 48 minutes in one game, play with less players (For instance if you are training one player at the PG position, only play with 9 players so that no one can replace him in garbage time, or if you are training a PG and SG then only dress 8 players).

In your game you played with 10 guys so he was replaced in garbage time because you were wining by so much, next time do everything the same but just make sure you only dress 9 players and strictly follow the depth chart.
