Out of curiosity, what was the score and the time when your coach woke up from his catatonic state and decided to put the starters back in?

My team leads by 7-8 pts. less than 1:30 min. before end, wnen this lunatic return starters on the court

Losing a game because of garbage time (in a PO game!!!)

Еxactly, my displeasure is against "garbage time". This is the reason for my absurd lose

@ CocoLoloMomo:
I see it and I can't believe it.

I can't believe, too Maybe I must retire from BB)

Fantastic. From +31 to +8 thanks to garbage time. Thanks for the info.

Still waiting on some kind of input from a BB or some other kind of authority figure.

sorry, but what is the connection between the level of the trainer and the match?

My trainer seems to take timeouts when the other team makes some type of run.

you're mixing up trainer and coach :)
trainer is the one you buy, and only influences training
the coach is the same for everyone, and the one who should call timeouts.
problem is, when the team is leading by more than 20 points, not only the player but often also the coach stop caring about the match...

Ok I thought as doctor and pr-guy can influence the match slightly with their speciality then the trainer would call the coaching shots:) But if the coach is the same for everyone then it seems I have been lucky... because he has not made any mistakes for me. Then again I have a low division team and good second unit.

2)It affects my BB-experience because I've also seen some huge leads evaporate because of the garbage time rule. In a game which uses point differential to determine the final standings in case of a tie, I would say the it is pretty important.


That's great.

However, I asked the person raising the complaint a question and you got your nose all out of joint about it for pretty much no reason.

That's what I am referring to.

Putting aside the quarrels, me too i'd really like to know the BBs opinion on how garbage time rule is working out, 'cause i've seen a good amount of intelligent complaints about it (and some really absurd result like the one we are talking about)
i know you're not a BB, but as i suppose you're probably the closest person to them, and also someone that as worked as a GM to improve the game since the beginning, can you help me get the answer i want so badly?
I'd truly great appreciate. then i'll be glad to go back to insulting and quarreling as usual :)

The reason I got worked up about it is that for quite a long time now lots of people have been saying that the garbage time rule may not be all that great of a rule, and nothing has been done about it, even though it was obvious that sooner or later some thing like this would happen (and by the way, it's happened before already).
Then, once it does happen, and there is a chance to try and see if the rule should be removed/modified, one of the most influential people in the game outside of the BBs (you), replies in a way that is, at least in my opinion, absurd. Honestly, when you saw the final result, you didn't think that garbage time had something to do with it?
Would it not have been more productive to try and address the issue in some way other than ignoring it?
Keep in mind that the people who are complaining about the rule aren't doing so because they like to complain, but because they are trying to improve the game.
