It's an interesting circle there. It seems like a selfish desire to be put it, like you're playing to be scouted for the next level. But if you're not getting the job done now, you ain't goin' nowhere next year! I'm sure they're contributing on some level and deserve game time in that respect, but I'm never a fan of "I've got to get 18 minutes/game." The coach has to "PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!" -- and to keep his job beyond next week. If that requires sitting older guys because they aren't performing, can you blame him?
They haven't quit? Wow! How about you reward them with, say, their scholarship check?!
