Can anyone properly defend a high school Roster over 15 or 16 players based upon opportunity for the kids to get time on the field

I'm not a coach, I'm the parent of a kid who lettered in basketball, although I don't know that he played more than 10 minutes over a season. He wasn't very good, and he knew it, but he benefited from being on the team, and the team benefited from him being there (per the coach's comments at end of season and comments from other players on the team).

If the only criteria for deciding on the number of payers is getting time on the field, you may be right.

But it's not the only criteria.
