being a newbie to coaching i never had to worry about this before, but recently my benched players have been asking for play time every game and i am not sure it is a good decision yet. my philosophy is to put the best players in the game and only sub when i need to, but without playing time i don't think there will be any development. i have been talking with other people and they have suggested that by letting the less skilled players have equal game time, they will not have an incentive to improve their skills because they do not have to compete for it. again this is a frosh team, so i am not sure how to go about doing this. if i were the varsity coach, i would not have any problems with this decision, but at this lower level, i dunno? what do you guys think?
