I haven't actually seen Delta play, plan to see them tomorrow though, but I can see both sides of this. From the article, Heeb says he doesn't start the same players every game. If that's true, then who is in the game in the fourth quarter is kind of irrelevant as I assume he spreads the minutes out pretty evenly among the ten players he uses, especially in the blow out wins.
And parents often complain if their kid is one of the best players and only plays two quarters in blowouts. I think 3 quarters for the best players is optimum in blowouts, maybe 2.5 in the biggest blowouts.
It doesn't sound like Heeb has his team press when they are up by a lot in the second half at least.
It appears that no matter who is in the game, Delta tries to score. An argument could be made that a coach can have their players slow it down and just pass the ball around without dribbling until there is a layup attempt, or work on set plays and not really try to score too quickly. But that's not Delta's style of play, from looking at their scores. They've practiced all year to play fast and to play hard, that's their style and that's how they win. They didn't do that to get in the games and not do just that.
