Just this last year I went with a friend to see his daughter play in Jr. High basketball game at a public school. As I was watching I could not figure out why the coaches on both sides kept switching the players out every quarter. I was told they do this so it gives all the players a chance to play.
Really, what the fuck does that accomplish? - if you suck sit on the bench and realize you need to learn how to improve your game through hard work/competition or try another game you're good at. In short, they are conditioning kids to some sort of entitlement.

It would seem that way, but adult sports work this way as well. Not like pro's, they buy those people... but like the local soccer team and crap. If they have too many people on a team, they'll swap everyone in for a quick play... normally though an adult walks up to rest and someone takes the persons place, it's not a coach telling us.
You're also talking about Jr. High.... They're learning playing & team skills, having a practice and it gives them a rest, if you took a coach out you would have girls walking up to rest. And it's female sports, they normally only have one sport at a time.
