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

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?

Perhaps some time in the future I will try that.

Thru using strictly all game I have managed minutes well since starting this game. I'm not about to switch that up right now and have my trainees not get 48 minutes.

This was the first time I had a player set as backup and reserve get only 3 minutes. I still have read no reason why this was the case this time. As I see it, it's not a skill or a stamina issue, but just "one of those things" that BB does from time to time to drive us managers insane.
