Salutations. May i suggest two tipical in-game coaching philosophies that doesn't seem to me to be very well simulated by the existing options. Both based on player rotation: one purely rotational which would give every player aproximate playing time in a given game; the other being a conditionaly rotation, a more flexible player rotation philosophy that keeps primary focus on winning the game but when winning by a confortable margin, it would act as a purely rotational.

Minutes are not meant to be easily managed, and a system that virtually guarantees minutes per player will not happen.

Obviously, i didn't meant virtually garantying playing time by the second... That would require the creation of a new staff, the chronometrist, and probably it would be needed one per player!...
As i said "give every player aproximate playing time in a given game". The advantage would be in theory training some additional players. On the other hand, there a the risk of having more players just under the weekly 48 minutes to get train, or even just above the 48 minutes, which will train them but incresing the probability of reducing form. Also, it will increase the risk of being defeated because the weaker players will play more time.
So, this isn't a perfect coaching technic. it has advantages and disadvantages and most importantly the user's decisions when defining the starting and bench players, determine the success or failure of this game philosophy.
And again this is sometimes used in the real life game.

I agree in a sense, having coached you have certain guys you want to see get 15 minutes a game and certain guys you don't want to go over 35 minute a game. Something loose like this...

38+
25-37
13-24
12-

I had a guy play 89 minutes despite his backup being at the skill level.

89 vs 7 minutes
7.0 vs 6.5
7.0 vs 6.0

wtf, ya know?

Some of it had to do with the fact he backs up my SG too, but wtf my SG is the best out of the three, so he cut into the better players minutes. again, wtf. (I say that in the nicest way possible)

Joooost. Is this too far fetched? Thanks in advance man.

I was being vague, but you are dumb...(laughs to himself)

You saw the little minute system I put up. Is that something that is just to hard to write. Even if it was just four selections or whatever?

Also, having one guy backup two positions seems to never work in my back court. My front court seems to be fine, but even with different guards, I've had no luck coming close to even minutes with my third guard. It's just weird man, and you're the guy I go to for weird things.

Dr. Venkman I presume...

Don't cross the streams - I used to have that problem at Fenway in the bathroom when they had the troughs.

I'm not the best guy to ask about guard training - it frustrated me so much I went back to inside training.

I saw you at Fenway remember? You claimed to be covered in "marshmellow" after you walked out of the mens room.

So, to guide this back on topic and away from Charles and I and unspeakable things, I'm not really sure how that guard training works.
