[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In competitive games, coaches generally want their starters getting 75-80% of available minutes (depending on specific game needs).

The first three guys off the bench will generally get the lion’s share of what is left. After that, guys are waiting for blowouts or one-off chances.

If your son is a rising sophomore projected to be a bench player on varsity, ask if possible to roster him on both teams where he’ll mostly play with JV and not much with varsity.

I[b]f your son is a rising junior and being placed on JV, he has to swallow his pride and take it. The coaches are signaling that they are willing to give him one more developmental year. [/b][/quote]

This is a signal that they like the kid personally, he's a good team player who raises morale, and they are willing to give him a spot on the Varsity bench as a senior. Not that they expect him to develop from 11th to 12th into a varsity starter. Honestly, its a compliment to a kid's character that they don't want to cut him. [/quote]
