No, it was set as "Let them Play"

It worked as intended. Your game ended in a blow out, your coach looks for subs to bench the starters, even with SFDC. Wasn't Babo in the selected players list ? If so, even if he is not in the depth chart, your coach can use him as a sub. I guess that is what happened.
Anyway, you had 11 selected players, your starting 5 would have been benched because of the blow out.

If you want Vucurovic to play the full 48mns, set a starter and a sub/reserve for each other positions, 9 players max, never ever reserve only.

Pretty sure I set a lineup...

You don't have a default one?

The coach will make changes in the last 2 minutes of a game overriding our instructions. It's working as designed we have been told. Thus, you can only guarantee 46 mns with a 'perfect' line-up.
Your player has missed 45 seconds, if I were you, I'd continue the training week as you had planned it. Those 45 seconds won't make a big difference.

Nope but I'm pretty sure that I set my lineup.

In the Scrimmage games I have played over the last week, this is certainly not true. In match (35642301) I had set my trainee to be the starter, backup and reserve SG. Two other guys were also set to all these positions on PG and C. Then I had 5 players filling the rotation of the remaining spots, SF and PF. I played SFDC and let them play.
After 36 minutes, my trainee goes out and one of the backups/reserves, who is a much better SG, comes in and plays the remaining 12.

Luckily for this week, my trainee also played 12 mins in another match, but last week I had to revert to Team Stamina training because these minutes keep screwing up.

The only consistent way of getting a player 48 minutes in a scrimmage is by fielding just 5 players.

This is not how it should work so that is why I'm posting here in the bugs forum. If I specifically tell my coach to SFDC, he should only play another player on a position if all of the starter/backup/reserves for that position have all fouled out or all are injured. The coach may then decide which player best fits that position.

The thing is, if you want 3 players to play 48 mins, then you have to cal only 7 players, the 3 that will play 48, and 2 for the remaining positions (starter and backup)... because if you are winning by a huge diference, the coach gives rest to the starter if there is a player that is doing nothing xD
