Once enough people start "blanking" and talking about it on the Internet it will definitely catch on.

People complain about the blank lineup, but you think Phil Jackson ever thought much about who to put on the floor?

I guess, since he didn't like play rookies...

Would be interesting to see the results of each style against the same opposition.

People that don't like blank lineups will be very interested to know that I played a blank lineup tonight in my PL game and the coach made horrible choices.

My C played PG, my PG played SG, my SG played PF, my PF played SF and a random $4.6k scrub was my C instead of a $60,000 real big man. The coach also gave at least 20 minutes to everyone even if they were a $3k player in mediocre GS instead of a $20-30,000 one in proficient GS. It was a total disaster!

Private league minute management is broken/different than league game. You can already see strange things in WO-s. It's not simple 36+10(5)+2 as in league games.

I tried a blank lineup in my PL game as well and it worked just perfectly right.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't......but did he ever play BuzzerBeater? Cause if not, that statement makes no sense.

It would answer a lot of questions.

??? But I thought you had run this many times in NT games?
I have the same movement with my players, todays game had my C at PG at times, but it didn't affect the shots taken or missed for either team.

I have done in with the NT many times and it has always worked perfectly. I also did it twice last season in PL. I suspect the issue could be the current structure of my team. Yes I have 11 players, but 1 is injured, 3 are total scrubs and 1 is an 18 year old trainee. That leaves just 6 competent players Barton 24k PG trainee, Oliver 35k SG, Mu 26k SF, Garth 30K PF, Jared 62K C and Kumar a 10K PG trainee. Now the lineup seems very clear to me but perhaps with so few competent players the GE couldn't work out a good lineup with starters and backups so reverted to rubbish.
