Hey...How about this...
I never play my star in scrimmiages
yesterday I wanted to get his minutes up as a back up...8-20 or so
the starter gets hurt 11 minutes in, and he plays the rest of the game
that's 92 MINUTES for the week
and I play YOU this week!
Battle for first...Good luck

Take your star out of the lineup for scrimmages, then this can't happen.

I don't expect anything. But there's no reason to yell at me. All I'm telling you is that if your guy has enough minutes, don't take him to your next game, especially if it's a scrimmage. That's the only way to really make sure he won't play. After all, why should he sit on the bench if the coach isn't allowed to let him play?

Oh, and your case looks like the perfect case for using coach follows depth chart until fourth. That way the better bench guys come in in the last quarter and get 10 minutes guaranteed.

I didn't yell at you
I was just trying to point out that your advice was kind of obvious
and it would NOT have helped to 4th quarter it
as I said
the starter got HURT
he was gone
as in...NOT COMING BACK
thanks for your help nonetheless

Didn't mean to upset anyone
just saying
I understand the mistake I made...bonehead really
but the advice was not needed
it was obvious, that's all
he ended up with respectable GS
not the end of the world

Those 2 guys probably won't even play against you, but I wanted to get some answers for the next time. Because then it could screw my trainees and not my second string. I am a little apprehensive about using "Follow strictly until 4th" because then doesn't it give the coach carte blanche and let him do whatever the hell he wants? Which could be worse than playing the starters a 8-10 extra minutes?
