"..... No N." :rofl:

are we allowed to talk basketball here as long as it's not NBA related? ok, bear with me for a semi migg-esque post.

our team joined a league. last outing we were crowned champions. we managed to out run opponents and outscore them through fastbreaks and scrappy defense (we are an undersized team btw). for the whole conference, that was the strategy. and btw we didn't have a coach so rotations were messy.

on to the new conference. defending champs. 1st game was against the team we beat in the semis by 15. they were prepared this time and our lack of coaching was exposed: no plays, no time outs, everyone refusing to go out or play afraid to make mistakes.

now I'm making a sacrifice. saying goodbye to my PT to be a playing coach. any suggestions on how I should handle things? few notes:

-our team is small
-we like to run
-we have decent stroke from the three
-midrange is ok
-we have a player with a Kobe mentality (shoot away I don't **** care about y'all and tries to do everything by himself)

you guys think I can make this work?

I may do that if that help my coaching.

SK- I can't be coach Carter-esque bro. I'm a playing coach, not full time. :P

some of my concerns:

-should we out run big teams?
-should we counter run and gun teams by slowing down the pace and using our outside game and not stick with our running game?

shot's a little rusty from all the 3x5's. :nonono:

I'll have to try that next time it gets hot and humid up in here. I use to get a ripe mango and freeze it; it's practically like sorbet.

A turncoat, just like my dad. He's also been converted to the church(cult?) of avocado.
