IMO he has !!!
Well just to break down a few of the things he has stated...... I use a 3-1-1 defense on my AAU team as well.... It works great against immature ball players scaring them and forcing them into quick decisions... It doesn't work as well against high major NCAA girls who can find all kinds of holes in the zone....the shootathon thing looks like a mess.... Forcing non- great shooters into messing with their technique by flawarding them for shooting it faster and faster...the way to fix shooting is to fisrst make sure the player has great form and then practice shooting over and over again in every situation possible over and over again... 3rd he compared our players to all-time greats and teaching Russell Kareem's hook shot like it is that easy..... How many good hook shots have you seen since Kareem in the men's game or women's? It's not that easy of a move to learn when she doesn't even use basic post moves. Why not teach her the dream shake too?
Good points. Is "flawarding" supposed to be rewarding?
Jyrevol-Jumper's post have also shown a penchant for locking into one system (I always play 3-1-1 etc) which suggest a rigidity that is not likely to generate success. The self-assured assumption that one can also coach 20 year old women the same as one would treat 13 year old girls, would be an interesting approach to see in action, I suppose.
You think way too highly of yourself
Jyrevol-Jumper, Dude, I LOVE YOU! You have brought a much needed source of levity to an otherwise depressing season and an often fractious board.
I totally get it. You're espousing megalomaniac delusions of grandeur as a kind of performance art. BRIlLLIANT! No make that TRUMPtastic!:clapping:
.... Start a thread about himself.
Yep. In the 1980's NBA, zone defenses were illegal and so it was a lot easier to find openings with rapid ball movement. In todays' game, when teams have success with this approach--3 to 4 passes leading to a wide open lay-up--it is usually linked to a defensive breakdown. So, the LVs have had some moments like this and the announcers go "yes, great ball movement, that is what the LVs should do more of'. But the problem is that good teams adjust and don't miss assignments on a regular basis. So, the Holly's strategy leads to 90% of the time, the ball being stuck circulating around the perimeter leading to a forced passed in the paint (and often a turnover) or a panic shot as the clock expires. One in ten plays can look good on a highlight reel but they don't win many games.
referencing an old NBA team isn't cause to attack..I often mention the showtime-Lakers, the Bad boy Pistons and the Malone-Stockton Jazz, as these team most influenced my offensive strategies.
I believe this team most mirrors the Bad-Boys in both makeup and style of play when they are on the top of their game.
A coach of a women's teams has to... think of all of the successful programs.
UT, UCONN, Notre Dame, Baylor (And rising: S carolina)
What do they all have in common... A coach with a higher profile than their team or their individual players... when you think of these universities women's BB programs... you don't think about thier players first, you think about thier coach... Coaching in the elite women's game it is essential for the coach to take the focus off of the players.
When you think Uconn you may know of Brianna, Maya and Dianna, but you know the program is Geno. Same was for Pat Summmit... when you think of Candace, Chamique or Tamika, you automatically think of Pat....
Still not convinced.... Name the coach of ND or SC,,,,,,, NOW, name more than 3 of their players on the present team....... I am still waiting.
You see, the coach has to carry a high profile. I am no different.
