NCAA-W Experimental Mechanics

[M&M Guy]

rocky - thanks for the update. I'm just starting to get into camp mode, because I'm getting ready to send in a couple of applications for June camps. Geesh, it's that time already?

Does the bulletin mention anything about T covering the post play if the ball is wide on L's side? Or are they changing back to essentially HS and NCAA-M mechanics, where the L covers all their area? I do like the idea of going back to the T covering the corner, including the 3-pt. shot, as well as the sideline (I assume). And I really like the idea of the same person being responsible for the last shot, whether there's a rotation or not. Granted, most of the time, if I'm working with experienced partners it has never been an issue, but inexperienced partners tend to forget who has the last shot, especially if they were C in front of the table.

I guess they finally listened to what I've been saying here for the last 5 years. These are both excellent changes and will improve coverage in both situations.

Could someone possibly even have looked that the discussion we had on the charge at the end of the LSU/Stanford game in this year's NCAA tourney?

I've forgotten what that was about. Got the link?

I think I started that mess. But some of the discussion focused on the NCAA-W mechanic of the lead having responsibility all the way out to the sideline and having responsibility for the pass that was thrown out to the 3-point line near the baseline.

It doesn't mention anything about that...I would imagine that it's not going to change anything about that. In other words, if the L has the ball handler on the baseline(inside three-pt. line now) and there is post play on the box, the T is still going to have to cover that post play...the only change is L doesn't have to try to get out far enough to cover the ball in the deep corner.
