I appreciate the input hrudey but how do you explain the 4k SF I had set as the starter (but who didn't start) playing the whole fourth? Also this wasn't LCD, although much of what your wrote would also apply to CPFDC.

I don't know how you set your lineup. I do see that the player your coach selected to play at SF over (presumably) Jong pil was Radford, and that he appeared at PF at times during the game including a lot (or all, I haven't checked) of the fourth. Would it be accurate to say that you had Jong pil listed at starter at SF, Nart at PF, and then Radford backing up both positions? So when garbage time comes, Radford is locked in but he can't play both positions at once - and then for whatever reason, he plays at PF the whole time rather than SF.

I'd say you have a very good understanding of the substitution logic and I agree with the assessment (even with the part that says that the logic could be improved).

@hrudey: Thanks, this is certainly plausible. Although it would be difficult to confirm that this is in fact what is going on, it is good enough for me... +1

@Marin: I find it kinda funny you are endorsing an explanation that contradicts your own (and I don't think you realize this).

Maybe it's not a contradiction, maybe both explanations factor in. Actually, now that I think about it, hrudey's explanation does make more sense, so you can disregard mine. The game engine code is immensely complicated. I try to study it whenever I can but to say I know every bit of it's inner workings would be a big fallacy. In cases like this I can only make educated guesses, but I'm not afraid to admit that I may be wrong.
