I did everything to make sure that my second rookie got all his PG minutes for his outside defense training but BB didn't want him to get his minutes I guess... Any idea why? I dressed only 9 players, did strictly follow depth chart, set my rookie as Starter backup and reserve all for PG, didn't have his name in any other spot or position, yet it still only gave him 36 minutes in that spot. I'm a bit frustrated, but rather than dwelling on it, I have a few questions:
1. Why did this happen?
2. Should I still train Outside Defense for my two rookies (One got 48 minutes, other got 36 minutes) or should I train free throws or something? Any opinions are welcomed and useful.

Thanks in advance.

Did you have all of the other guys in the lineup assigned to either a starter or backup role? So something like this:

PG: Dennison / Dennison / Dennison
SG: Kevenas / Palad
SF: Jones / Duda
PF: Cordenillo / Palmer
C: Runsong / Schofield

It looks as if Schofield was not assigned as the backup for the C position, and since he wasn't in the lineup card, the coach was free to decide where to put him when it became a blow out. Not surprisingly he thought he'd do better at PG than at C.

As for what to train, I'd say that depend somewhat on how much your trainees need OD and/or FT. Clearly two of them wont' get full OT training this week, but the will still get some. But if they also need FT training, doing that this week rather than taking a week away from direct training in the future isn't a bad option.

Damn... you are exactly right about Schofield, I didn't have him in the lineup as any position. thanks. I think I may train Stamina because a couple of my players have stamina awful or below as well as one of my trainees who has pitiful game shape. Their free throws are at average and respectable though, so that's fine. Thanks for the opinion

This is a lineup problem rather than stamina gameshape. Players can be made to get 48 mins no problem even with atrocious barring injury foulout or the free throw bug.

This happened to me a couple weeks ago and when I brought the settings up again I realized that while I had put all the players in the lineup but it was set to 'let coach decide'.
