I actually have the problem that my three trainees got 11, 42 and 43 minutes and i like to give them still their 48 minutes ...

I got an home game against a bot on thursday, and a (stupid?) idea:

- lineup eleven players
- only set the trainee with 11 minutes on the PG spot
- set the other two trainees, as a reserve(2cd backup)

So an essential point in my plan is, when it comes to the blowout in quarter four did the coach substitute everyone from the s5 when their are backups avaible?

I remember on some games when i start BB that the reserve get into the game when their was just the starter for a position, but i don't know if it happen immediately or in the last minutes.

Second question is, is it possible that both backup will switch their position in the last 12 minutes?

Yes (it happened to me last Thursday; actually, you can look at that game and look how the coach works during blowouts). He will try to get all starters off if there are available players to be taken off.

Yes. In this case though, the reserve will probably only get like 3-4 minutes because the backup will be mainly playing.

thx for reply but i meat it a different way, it a bit complicated to explain it in easy words thats i try it now with an example:

PG: Trainee1-Trainee1-Trainee1
SG: SG1 -SG2 - Trainee2
SF: SF1 - SF2 -Trainee3
PF: PF1 -PF2
C: C1 - C2

Trainee1= 11 minutes, Trainee2=42min, Trainee3=43 minutes

So trainee number one will play till the blowout appears, which are 36 minute which are a very good value because he got 47 minutes.

In the old day i meant to remember, that the third guys get into the game at this moment when there is no backup valuable to replace a starter. I remember at an old game with a injured Backup from my, but i am not totally sure ... And maybe it happens in the second phase of the blowout when the third players normally get their chanche and replace the backups.

So the question is, would the rooster look like this, from Minute 37:

PG: Trainee2/Trainee3
SG: SG2
SF: SF2
PF:PF2
C:C2

or is trainee 1 still playing?

When it works with the boot training, is their the possibility that they get substitute in those minutes?

From minute 37, the roster would be like this:
PG: Trainee 2
SG: SG 2
SF: SF 2
PF: PF2
C: C2

The problem is that Trainee 3 would get into the game at some point (for like 4 minutes) but Im not sure if he would go into the SF position or into the PG position.

Trainee 2 will get over 7 minutes at the PG position, which is good but Im not sure where Trainee 3 would go.

in this case i will try it :)

Bcause trainee one and two get pretty got minutes.

Thx for help

Not necessarily. Depth chart until 4th is questionable I guess. It could depend on how good actual players are in comparison to others.

As long as there are backups available in the match roster, no starter will be left on the court come blowout time.

What don't your understand? Is it a rule that starters have to be better players than backups or what?
