I see some teams playing an eight man lineup with success. No-one has 48 minutes at the end of the game, so would it be safe to assume that most are also playing Coach Picks from Depth Chart or Let Coach Decide also?

Not necessarily. I have on occasion run an 8-man with the same backup player in both guard spots, and in both C and PF. This would allow both starters to get rest while not having a 10-man.

Oh okay. If you don't mind me asking a couple questions, what do you set your substitutions on when you play 8 men? Can you select Follow Depth Chart when you do?

I’ve run multiple different splits depending on minutes needed…

PG: P1 / P3 / P1
SG: P2 / P3 / P2
SF: P4 / P5 / P5
PF: P6 / P8 / P7
C: P7 / P8 / P6

Example above highlights a mix: for guards, P3 in backup slot for both and P1/P2 as their own reserve. For C/PF, P8 backup for both, but switching the reserves as desired. Could also use backup as reserve like done at SF for either/both.

Okay. So do you use Follow Depth Chart when you use some of the lineups like above?

I have only ever used follow depth chart; I have no experience with anything else to speak to, but in my experiences with these sorts of practices I have had decent results.

Is there a best day to buy a new staff member, to replace an older one? So maybe I save a little money? Or does it not matter? Thanks!
