What was the reason for this?

They probably wanted to keep the big in to dominate the little guys.

Afraid they'd foul each other too much?

That would be my guess. Neither coach was willing to get his big kid into foul trouble by having to play against the other big kid. Weird...but that's rec ball.

I wonder if the two didn't have issues in the past and the two coaches agreed to just make sure they didn't see the court at the same time.

Seems more likely than any other explanation I can think of.

When I was a sophomore, in high school, I would usually start the game, usually play the entire first period, usually sit the entire second period, usually play the entire third period, and usually sit the entire fourth period. My buddy John would play my position, center, when I wasn't playing. We were never in the game at the same time. Both of us would usually end the game with a combined total of eight, or nine fouls.
