Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 4092054, member: 686"] That's a losing mentality as a coach to think that about any of your "rotation" guys. Also, who's advocating putting the subs in at the end? You can keep your starters fresher at crunch time by giving them periodic breathers throughout the game at lower pressure times. That's what most coaches do. I don't understand the concept seemingly embraced by so many here, including our head coach, that playing a sub during the game somehow translates into losing the game. We've heard it countless times that "you only get to play 5 guys at a time, so it only makes sense to play your best 5." My counter to that is your best 5 can be better at the end if they aren't gassed, physically and mentally. "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." - Vince Lombardi. [/QUOTE]
