Ain't no coach grabbing me with 2 hands and telling me to move. He can move. If it's college, he can move all the way down to the baseline. The Center slot right in front of the coach is a tough spot. I find myself having to make adjustments in where I stand over there. If the coach is standing there, there's not a lot of room. Likewise, and I would like to get your opinions on this. I try to always take the up route towards half court (creating 2 trails) as opposed to the down route below F/T line extended when I get straight-lined. Your thoughts....
