No athlete with a heart for the game will want to ride the pine. Good coaches develope to the point of making the guys at the bottom of the depth chart better so that they can play if needed, and give them playing time when they can. I have seen coaches over the years who will not give any playing time to kids who work hard. And there were many opportunities to give them just a little time, but they were preoccupied with a margin of win.
Having said that, if the kid does not have the heart, or skills to compete, he might be better elsewhere. The scout team needs potential starters with a heart for playing time. How else can you make the first teams better prepared for the competition?
