- To create more favorable matchups.
- For tempo (to play faster or slower)
- To rest a fatigued player, especial those playing hardest
- To avoid further foul trouble for a player
- To play 'offense-defense' putting in a better defender or offensive threat
- To put in a player without fouls to commit fouls
- To use a player in a defined "sixth man" role
- Seeking more speed or physical play
- To allow the crowd to 'award' a player an ovation

Lagniappe 2. A great quote is no substitute for action.
Tough pill for many to swallow. It’s easier than ever to have a voice. But opinions don’t equal action. It’s your actions that create change - not your empty words and opinions. Want change? Make it happen through your actions pic.twitter.com/tpguQDML4m

Know when to turn a phrase and whether to rebound for a player who needs to get up more shots.
Lagniappe 3. Coaches 'know 'who can play.
There’s a reason coaches recruit kids from teams on the “circuits” & it isn’t b/c of a logo. It’s b/c to win programs must teach something. Rolling out the ball doesn’t cut it. Closeouts, Help side, ball-screen D, passing & cutting, 1-more pass. Things you need @ next level.
