Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 1265183, member: 309"] That's the way I learned the game. You have to have some court awareness - which IMO is the main reason our fast break doesn't work. If the "numbers" aren't in your favor on a fast break, you pull the ball back out - that's Basketball 101. Launching a 34 ft jump shot is always there for the taking. On the play in question, the only 2 players under the basket were both wearing white jerseys, so there was a 0.0% chance of securing the rebound if the shot is missed. In Cooney's defense, I think he had been frustrated by being face guarded the entire game (he better get used to it), found himself wide open, and was probably thinking in the back of his mind about igniting a rally. When a player makes a shot like that, it's one of the "No... no... YES!" moments. [/QUOTE]
