I'm getting in on this one way late, but this post reminded me of a HBO Real Sports segment about basketball camps. They compared European camps with American Camps. The European camps are like American camps used to be as in they run drills, run drills and run drills. American campers play meaningless games, play meaningless games, and play meaningless games. The point of the story is that our player are extremely gifted, but they don't learn to play fundamental basketball anymore. In fact, they claimed some of the NBA clinicians they broughth over had a hard time with some of the drills they were making their high schoolers do. It was pretty interesting.
