Its pretty sad that he was able to convince his players that platooning is different than second string
"We kind of bum-rushed them a little bit and every time they looked there were more tanks coming over the hill," Calipari said. "It wasn't substitutes, it was reinforcements."

It's not really platooning though because one group isn't playing offense and the other playing defense. To be fair, that would be very difficult to do in basketball.

If you say a team platoons I've always taken it to mean players only play on one side, offense or defense.
verb (used with object)5.Sports.a. to use (a player) at a position in a game alternately with another player or players.b. to alternate (two different teams or units), as separate offensive and defensive squads.verb (used without object)6.Sports.a. to alternate at a position with another player or players.b. to use players alternately at the same position.c. to alternate different teams.
So, if we do this we are guaranteed to beat KU by 30 pts?
I mean the most obvious and common sports platoon is the left-handed hitter / right-handed hitter in baseball
