That's not really a legit criticism in this case. Fox was rotating the players throughout the entire game against the worst team in the conference. Shiloh just happened to get injured during his turn. All of the starters were probably going to come out at the five minute mark or the final media time-out with under four remaining.
From the same article:
"The Nevada bench contributed a season-high 42 points in Thursday's game. The bench's previous high had been 40 points in an 85-62 win over Alaska-Anchorage in the season opener Nov. 10.
"This is the first time they've played as a group for extended periods of time," Fox said. "Usually, they're surrounded with some experience. I was really pleased they were able to get some minutes and string them together."
The bench play made it possible for Fox to limit his starters' playing minutes.
Sessions and Kemp played 24 minutes apiece. Fazekas and Shiloh played 20 minutes each and Denis Ikovlev had 18 minutes."
