I know i jest, but i do actually agree with yoda. I know managers have done it in previous seasons, (once out of cup, pulled the 21 year olds and given the 20's a go) but i just never saw the point and thought it was crap.

As someone who did it 4 times there are a few reasons.

1. It allows you to keep a better track on the best 18 players who can play the following season including their gameshape management. If they can not keep it up while in the side as a 20 year old good chance they never will.
2. It gives them more experience which that little more can make a difference in 21NT IMO.
3. Allows you to see how certain plays work and address any issues within their build before the season starts. IE might have someone who is a PG but see a ittle JS training and they might go from 2nd PG to 1st SG.

Rankings are not effected much by scrims. When I got the job we were 44th or something like that and we sat between 10 and 15 most of my time in the role.

I used to be on the side of adding 20 yo's asap for max experience (and also wondered what it would be like to throw a whole campaign with a super crop coming through and getting exp for a number of seasons). Would have been nice to see the effects of experience.

But these days (especially after having a U21 player myself) I agree with point 3 and 4 of yoda. People _should_ be rewarded for their training. I know I personally changed my training plans a lot at the request of U21 managers etc (which is fine) but that sort of stuff should be recognised a little I think.

Second Team:
Redbacks
A compromise- What about if i add 2 more 20yr olds after the last real game this week, taking our total to 18. I wont drop any players in the current team, and will play players based on game shape, with a focus still on winning. That way our best 20yr old will see court time, and our current team will not be dropped and have the opportunity to play. I'll be looking to scrimmage higher ranked teams if possible.

Of importance is also that the current team consists of 4 20yr olds already, emphasizing the strength of next seasons group. And the next 2 players in line for adding are both 20 yr olds anyway. So it wont be changing who is added regardless of age, the 20 yr olds would be next either way.

I don't mind what you do after tonights's game I just think the real team should play in the real games. Once it is scrimmage time (although unlike with club scrimmages do count slightly for ranking but it is small) then I can see the sense in starting your scouting and planning for the following season.

Yeah I tend to agree with Yoda. Stick with the current crop during the tournament games and then go for next seasons crop for the scrimmages.

Be decisive whatever you do though, not everyone is going to be happy regardless
