They tell their coach to play that young rookie because his parents are at the game.again, no, coaches are capable of developing rookies without being told to

They give instructions to the coach on a regular basis on several matters.GM's and coaches talk daily about lineups, and situations. It's a constant working relationship. Any GM that insists on having a final say in lineups will have a hard time finding a coach that will work for them
