Maybe you should go to your bench earlier.

AAU I can use my entire bench and they all get plenty of play. But then again, in AAU you have the pick of the lot, and even when there is a drop-off between starters and bench, it often isn't severe.
In HS, you often have a few players who can't play anywhere near the level of your starters. When they are seniors, they'll be starting, but right now, they aren't at that level. So they see a lot of pine time. Every HS coach I talk to has the same issue, and all seem to handle it the same way.
