Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 3264533, member: 622"] Sadly, you are right. Kids are not taught the game, just the glory. Coaches want easy wins and don't focus on fundamentals,* just pass it to the big kid in the middle, or pass it to Johnny to shoot the three. Fundamentals can make a disciplined team with less physical attributes beat major teams, see Princeton under Pete Carroll. Dribble, pass, shoot, movement off the ball, screens, pict and roll, etc. Anything to create an advantage for your team It's amazing how much a player who is well rounded can do for a team. MD can do everything required of him, except bully bigs. To do that, he needs more weight. I like the idea that JG3 is playing PG (not the fact that he has to, but that he stepped up and is doing so). If he gets to a SG position, he will be that much more dangerous. *I guess that makes me a fundamentalist, at least in hoops. :cool: [/QUOTE]
