The suggested position is based on the player's skill set. When his skills change (thanks to training), his suggested position may also change. You don't need to worry about that, since the suggested position has no in-game effect.

I have never seen two players change positions the opposite way due to one training week. Did this change happen over several weeks?

no this was definitley over a week training period. It literally changed as soon as my game ended yesterday, so I thought it was a little weird. So if the suggested postion is listed by the player, you are saying it wouldn't matter if I played Tuarez (at 6'4") at the SF position, would it really matter if he was undersized, or should I keep sticking him at the SG spot. I know you are supposed to play the people in the positions you think they should be in, but I'm wondering if it would have any difference if I played a 6'4" at small forward because a typical SF is between 6'6" and 6'9" in the pros, wondering if it would even make a difference.

Height only affects training speed. Shorter players train somewhat faster in guard skills and taller players in big guy skills.

Tuarez was a tweener when it came to playing either SG or PG, but now he's been listed as a SF, which puts me at a slight disadvantage, plus I kind of don't like him listed as that either. Is that changeable?

Listed positions have no influence whatsoever on player performance in games -- they are just suggestions based on player skills. The suggested position may change based on changes in player skills.
