Mick I agree. It makes sense. That could be a good move on the losing coach's part.

However, if I'm coaching a team and the game has been decided, in my favor, because of a blowout then I'm thinking about game management and season/tournament management. Last thing I want to happen is one of my valuable starters gets injured in garbage time. I'd look and feel like an idiot.

I wouldn't need the losing team to conceed by pulling its starters first.

footlocker,
Absolutely!
Like I said, "the better team should be allowed to play their team the way the coach sees as best for the team, without penalty".
