Oh my bad. You are right.

Strongly disagree with the statement that blowing a team out has no effect on trainees getting 48+ minutes. Wacky things happen in garbage time. I don't really recommend CPDC either.

blowing out is non advisable if you want your player to play 48 min.
play to lose on scrimmages. assign your center as PG, SG as PF, choose the worse tactics, anything you can do to avoid winning, or worse, blowing out.

9 players is also key. don't play with more than 9 players if you want 48 min.

then pray for your trainee don't commit many fouls and don't get injured.

that's pretty much it. works 80% of the time. there is no 100% warranty. still the best way to train. when it doesn't work, try to use his minutes changing the training to 1-on-1, stamina or free throws.

Have you tried to calculate the financial loss by only using your expensive trainer for 2 players instead of 3?

Maybe I'm not being clear. So if my guy gets 47 minutes half a dozen times and 46 minutes three other times over 8 seasons of training, how many extra weeks of training are needed to make up for lost time and to attain your desired results? Probably not significant.

I am blowing out like 70% of my opponents and I am training 6 guys - unless there is an occasional foul out or some injury I almost never had issues with getting 48+ minutes. It's quite puzzling why so many people have problems with getting the minutes right.

Do you mean to say that a trainee will not miss minutes if settings are correct, and no injury/foulout occur?

No subs before garbage time, but when it is my guy gets subbed right away:
3 1:54 19 — 82 It looks like we're now in garbage time.
3 1:54 19 — 82 S. Horák (H) comes off the bench to replace C. Crespi (H) at PG.

I can't show you the lineup I used, but I've been training a long time and these were not all mistakes in the lineup (otherwise there would be subs earlier in the game). It only happens in blowouts and when a weak player for the position is trained. I'll count stamina as part of the player being weak, because I'm not sure if it's a independent factor.
