Well, LSS, I talked her into it and taught her how to play defense and box out. She was starting by mid junior year and as a senior, she led the team in rebounds and held the 20 point scorers to under 10 well over half the time. I always told her that taking 10 points off the other team is like you scoring 10.
She accidentally scored 6 of her own in one game and had maybe 50 for her career.
Kids these days only think about what they can do with the ball, so if they cannot dribble or shoot, they "suck at basketball". This girl had more fun during games than my top scorer!! |
I have never seen two consecutive posts by coaches that exuded so much intelligence in all my life. The world's implosion must be imminent!
Kidding Guys! These posts are exactly what coaching is about... teaching, encouraging and making kids better people. Thank You.
