Was told by coaching staff that Silsbee will carry 15 on varsity and will sub 5 at a time through entire bench.

Run, run, run, run, run...............:)

Wait a minute, isn't high school ball 8 minutes a qtr?  Somebody must be playing 2 minutes a qtr with that deep bench.

Gonna be hard to get in a flow with a 15 man rotation :)

8 players in the rotation is the sweet spot for me....but the right 8 players. Seven can hurt you if you get into foul trouble and 10 gives you too many options.

8 is the perfect number for me too.  But prefer 9 or 10 over 7 - for foul trouble reasons and fresh legs.  Wouldn't know what to do with 15 kids who could really go.  Which is why Silsbee is fortunate to have Joe Sigler and not me trying to coach that bunch.  I am sure he will get it figured out.  #richpeopleproblems

I don't know, having 15 could be a bad thing.  Kids get mad at each other and coach for playing time. Then parents get mad and everything turns sour. Coach quits and AAW starts drinking.  I'm not sayin,I'm just sayin.....

Thats right. My point exactly.

I can see the first two groups being fairly equal in talent. Sigler has done this 5 in 5 out very successfully in the past. That third group will probably come in in short spurts to wreak havoc with their fresh legs while the other team is sucking air.

It's very unusual in high school basketball for your 11-15 players on your bench to come in and wreak havoc.There are some advantages to platooning , fresh legs and foul trouble but there are some big time disadvantages as well. Flow is everything in most basketball games and it is hard to establish looking that far down the bench. This type substitution pattern often lets you annihilate weaker teams with not much but depth but doesn't affect your better teams much.
