so ive gone to some high school basketball games (not in japan, in america, so if the stuff i’m talking about is significantly different please disregard this post) lately and there’s A LOT of substitutions.

like, practically every couple of minutes. not so much in the first quarter but as the game goes on it happens more often.

so…why arent more people switching in and out in knb? it would be a great way to develop more of the non-starter characters especially in seirin. you know, a good way to see how seirin did so well with a team made up only of freshman and the first year a school has existed. and it would have avoided the whole “lets put someone w hardly any development in one of the finals to do something that’s not been talked about before (furihata slowing the kaijou game down in the winter cup)

in addition, i’ve been told that a key part of the run-and-gun strategy that seirin does when kiyoshi comes back is switching people out a lot so there’s always fresh people on offense.

so like

why doesnt seirin sub in people more??????????

so i’m debating on whether or not i should just headcanon that people are being pulled in and out of the game constantly but we just happen to see the parts where only the starters are in…
