Why that??? (48841727)
I had the following starting roster (8 players listed):

PG Knoche EMPTY EMPTY
SG Lazzarro EMPTY EMPTY
SF Hertz EMPTY Darghal
PF Loser EMPTY Canudas
C Ammann EMPTY Fourmy

After 35 Minutes of play PG Knoche (no foul problem, no injury) was replaced by Canudas. He played for a about 10 minutes!!!!!! Then he got replaced by starter PG Knoche again.... W.t.F!!!!!!
How am I supposed to get this minutes managing working with stuff like this, or am I completely wrong?

Thanks for help!

For what you want, you would want:
PG Knoche Knoche Knoche
SG Lazarro Lazarro Lazarro
SF Hertz Darghal Darghal
PF Loser Canudas Canudas
C Ammann Fourmy Fourmy

Leaving the empty spots in the positions you want to train is sure to lead to substitutions when you get to a blowout, while making sure that everyone in the lineup is either a starter or a backup (not just a reserve) helps minimize it. Even still, you get guys who substitute out because they're just worn out or because when the coach brings in the subs, one of the other starters is shooting free throws. But you'll usually get at least 46 and frequently 48+ if you set the lineup as above.

That's not right. It appears he wants

SF Hertz  Hertz  Darghal
PF Loser  Loser  Canudas
C  Ammann Ammann Fourmy


In his particular case (a blowout), this guarantees that the reserve players will get as close to 12 minutes as possible (otherwise they'll likely be closer to 20.


That may well also work. I personally don't play a player strictly as a reserve in any position because I remember hearing that if a player is not a starter or a backup, he might get substituted into another position instead. But I'm just as likely wrong there since I don't risk it personally.

Thanks a lot for your explanations. Obviously I was quite lucky until now, because it was the first time it happened to me and I'm playing buzzerbeater for quite a long time now...

So in fact it's better to fill out the empty slots....

Are your sure that you used "coach decides" and not "stictly follow depth chart"? If you use a blank lineup and SFDC you will have a very funny lineup usually.
