I remember doing this in high school because I had to do it a lot. I remember one game in which I later discovered that I had nineteen points. I had fouled out with a few minutes to play. I was never a big scorer but this was the closest I ever came to twenty points.

I believe that it was sophomore or junior year that I alternated quarters with a teammate. I would always start, he would always finish the game. It was the only way our coach could insure that at least one of us would be available at the end of the game.

I actually used a similar tactic as a coach. During a league championship season I had two power forwards who were practically interchangeable, one a veteran, one a rookie. Both were great rebounders, and fierce defenders who could do a little scoring. I usually started the veteran, after thirty-two minutes it seemed that one always fouled out and the other always had three or four fouls.
