i always give as much freedom as possible to the coach
however can that influence the way he handles garbage time? if i can't give him any instruction about garbage time how he's supposed to follow them?

Looking at the game in question, garbage time was not so much the culprit behind the loss. The eventual losing team was up by 10 points with 33 seconds left when the starting shooting guard decided over the next 33 seconds to: 1) miss 4 free throws; 2) allow 2 three-pointers; 3) foul the opposing shooting guard on a three-point attempt and 4) miss the game winning shot at the buzzer. Really just one of those one in a million games ...

The depth chart.

I mean, my understanding is that the coach plays your backups during garbage time right?

So my rotation is set up so I have a starter or two out there, or I have a guy that could easily start, come off my bench instead. OR maybe I do both. Maybe I can talk to machines? Maybe I like smoked gouda a little too much...

I was the defensive coordinator of our base football team in the Marine Corps. I learned a lot from our center, who not only anchored our line but also knew the game and how to use personnel very well. We played both ways and our team was half the size of other teams. We actually hadn't won a game in two years before the year I joined. (ahem) Well, and him...

He was a massive brooding Hawaiian and his hands were so big they could squash my narrow skull like a warm grape. I learned a lot from him and apply that knowledge to everything. Because everything is connected.

MLK said, I cannot be me until you are you. Something like that...

I agree with this and use it myself often. Sometimes I actually pull away farther because my shooters get minutes, and my defensive guys go to the bench.

However,

Looking ahead and hearing from players in higher divisions, I am betting it becomes exponentially more difficult to have a strong bench in relation to your starters, and still be competitive at that higher (est) level. Not sure, havent been there, but I scout alot :)

I scout more than Daniel Day Lewis! I agree, but for us, for now, we can do whatever we want cause we kinda suck.
