Yes there are some examples, where coaches give rest days to players (like we rest starters for scrimmages), I have never seen a game where the team is trailing by let's say 4 points with a minute togo in a game and the coach says "ok Nowitzki has played 40 minutes already, I will not insert him again. If there is a walkover, your starters will be rested anyway. You can also manage minutes by using faster or slower offence, defence -> thus making your players rest more or less. What happens if you get to overtime? Only play your bench? I'm sorry, but I think the game is a great challenge at the moment -> managing minutes is a big part of the challenge.
