[quote=Anonymous]Former rec baskeball coach, and I always coached to win within the constraints of the playing time rules (required every player to play at least 2 full quarters).  Most years, everyone ended up with equal playing time by the end of the year since I would get the better players more time in close games and then the weaker players would get extra time in less competitive games.

Positionally, it was more of a challenge b/c you don't necessarily want to put kids in a position fail (bad ball handler bringing the ball up the court, for instance). It can hurt their confidence and open them up to ridicule/bullying. I always tried to make sure everyone had a substantive role, whether it being the inbounder, defending the point, setting a key pick, being a rebounder, or even leading drills/warmups.  I am sure I didn't always succeed, but kids aren't stupid.  They know their strengths and weaknesses and generally don't want to look bad in front of their classmates/teammates. [/quote]
