I played high school basketball and I was mostly a bench warmer. Our teams were significantly better than most teams in our district and we would easily blow teams out by halftime. A lot of the time, our starters sat the entire 2nd half or most of it.
The refs used to give more favorable calls to our opponents in the 2nd half because they were getting rocked. However, our coach used to stand up for us and say that it's not fair to our second and third string players.
