In a related issue, sometimes you'll have an upperclassman complain about his playing time.  He'll usually say "I was expecting 3-4 minutes more".    So, if he'd been averaging 9 minutes/game,  you need to get him up to 12-13.  BUT, he only needs to average 12-13 min. from that point on.  His overall average doesn't have to be that high.

this feature really annoys me...not so much the feature but the application of it. and maybe it's just me, but it seems to be happening a whole lot more lately, mostly with non promised jucos who need some time to learn the Off/Def.

if a guy is getting so few minutes and you made a promise, great.  if he's getting so few minutes and he's clearly at the same level or better than other players (obviously it's somewhat subjective, but i think we can all tell when it's a reasonable argument) then that's great too.  but when a guy wasn't made any promises and is clearly worse off than the guys that are in front of him, they shouldn't be whining, especially when you get the "seems like your average kid when it comes to playing time, starting, etc" message in his scouting reports

Yeah I think this falls in line as another one of those things that isn't the same as real life, but that makes the game a little more interesting. Would love to have seen some scrub tell Bobby Knight that he needs more playing time. If you thought the Neil Reed thing was bad...

Guys complain about PT in real life all the time.
