Playing your starters against Boyle Co. 3rd string is preparing them for what? Don't get me wrong, I think coach May is a good coach and the Hawks have some talent but Boyle had better talent. After coaching for 25 yrs I have never played my starters against subs no matter if I was winning or loosing.

Preparing them for situations and to not give up. Yes it may not be as beneficial against "3rd" string but it does give them the opportunity to be in that situation and see if they can just execute plays. But you've been coaching a lot longer than I, so I may be thinking too much into it. I just believe that the word disgraceful is probably not the best word to describe it.
