To the 'scrubs' who have just entered the game, it is the most important game going on at the moment. Maybe a kid gets fouled while in the bonus and you let it go because it was not too bad of a foul and it had no bearing on the game. But if a frosh kid is in there, he may not play at the next level, he may only have a few chances in the season to score a point or two, he may also be busting his butt in practice looking for playing time and if you change things up you are doing a great dis-service.
PLUS, if you are looking to become more consistent in game calling, mechanics, etc, what better time than the situation you described to 'work on stuff'?
