Basketball Substitution Manager
See every player’s minutes at a glance. Track substitutions from your phone or tablet, or load a preplanned rotation and follow it during the game.
Take the stress out of substitutions
Track playing time, follow your rotation, and know who needs to check in at the next dead ball. Spend less time doing math on the bench and more time coaching the game.
Track Every Player's Minutes Live
The most important job is simple: know exactly how much every player has played. Keep playing time visible from your phone or tablet while the game is moving.
Track current runs and total minutes
See each player's current stint and total minutes at a glance. Sub out players who have been on the floor too long while keeping overall minutes balanced.
Easy to update during the game
The clean UI makes each sub just a few clicks. If someone forgets to track a change, you can quickly go back and fix it.
Follow Preplanned Rotations
Plan your rotation ahead of time, then follow it live in the Substitution Manager. Make adjustments for foul trouble, fatigue, or matchups as the game changes.
See upcoming planned subs
Keep the next scheduled substitutions visible so everyone on the bench knows what is coming.
Adjust when the game changes
Stay flexible for injuries, foul trouble, or matchups without losing track of the planned rotation.
Save and Analyze Your Subs
After the game, save the substitutions you actually made as a rotation. Review playing time, inspect lineup patterns, and use the real game as a starting point for the next plan.
Save actual substitutions
Turn the live substitution log into a rotation instead of rebuilding the game from memory.
Review after the game
Inspect minutes and lineup stretches later, compare what happened to the plan, and adjust for next time.
Substitution chaos vs total playing-time control
Basketball games move fast. A live substitution tool keeps the bench organized while still letting you coach instinctively.
