Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 4194860, member: 393"] I look at this particular issue a little differently. The last thing you want to do as a coach when you have guards that lack speed and quickness is limit the space they have to try to get open. What i mean by that is, IMO you don't start them off close to the baseline and then have them move toward the baseline to try to get open. Move them back to the foul line, 3 point line, even the half court line (did that all the time when I coached) and have them [B]cut hard before they sprint forward[/B]. Screens work better as well they are set further from the baseline. You have to cut hard when you are faced guarded like that. The more room to move, the better. Ideally, the guard receiving the inbound pass should be moving, not standing still, and, if possible, already heading up court when he gets the entry pass. This is a coaching/philosophy issue more than it is a player issue. [/QUOTE]
