So it my game today my coach refused to play one of my backups. I only dressed 8 players for the game. 2 positions I am training with a starter and no back up and both a starter and back up in the other 3 positions. I selected strictly follow depth charts and yet somehow my coach just decided not to play one of the back ups. Has anyone ever seen this before, its messes up my training and minutes and just does not seem fair, if I select someone as a back up and tell the coach to strictly follow depth charts how can he just totally disregard that?

He played 0 minutes rather then DNP so looks like he was on court less then a minute. Maybe an injury as soon as he got on court?

No I was online at some point during the game and checked it and he was healthy and just not playing. It's just really weird the coach played the other two backups but just refused with one.

It happens depending on:
1) stamina of the starter and backup
2) skill gap between starter and backup
3) substitution pattern chosen

When it happens the starter is usually significantly better than the backup and has high stamina.
