I am 100% certain that is the case.

Less practice time into rebounding and that still went up by 3.  To not have LP go up by a single point is a glitch.
LP went from red to black between 87-89 so I am guessing the cap was at about 96.

I am not sure this is really a bug. The user has it within their capability to prevent this behavior and chose not to.

The user is purposely under practicing on an attribute that is red and it is dropping .. Then later, putting minutes back in and wanting to go back up. That same user has the ability to use enough minutes to hold the attribute at its initial value, but chose to instead let it drop.

The argument can be made that the player has already reached a mental block in this attribute (it is red, so he is close to maxing out), and you are then stopping his pratice in that area. His skill then goes down by the coaches choice (lack of practice on purpose). So in reality, the coach caused the issue by taking away minutes from an area .. I have never seen this because I leave enough minutes in areas that I care about so they don't drop (5 for most attributes, 2 for LP or PER).

So is it really a bug .. The player can not get better in this area by design, so don't let him drop. If you do let him drop, he can't get any better because he has already reached his learning ability in this area .. But this is by your choice and totally avoidable by the coach.

Hughes, in Stamina it's a "known bug".  The drop that you're attributing to the user is actually only the offseason drop that is more pronounced in stamina than any other attribute.  If Stamina starts out Low-Low, it may even go up 1 point during the freshman year, then, each offseason, it will drop 2-3 points.  

I've had players practice a minimum of 25 minutes in conditioning running up to 40+ after maxing out in everything else and gotten either none or only 1 point improvement and finish their senior season showing *black*.  So, it's the offseason drop that causes the issue.  The glitch is that it doesn't recover like a normal *black* rating should.

My issue here is that 11 minutes of LP practice for the season at a sub-30 WE is simply not enough to rule out that there is no issue.  The fact that REB improved by 3 may simply demonstrate that REB had quite a bit more room to improve and started with a far lower initial number.
