How does he keep up with HSBV players in transition running backwards?

Easy to do if you never come into the frontcourt!

I was thinking the same thing. We've all seen those guys, haven't we?

He sprints to about the top of the key when he's lead and then turns and does the run backwards number, I know why not go all the way while looking over your shoulder? I've given up in trying to get him to change. Maybe he use to box!

Our local summer rec league uses HS players interested in becoming officials. It works out well in that they make some pocket money and get a taste of officiating. Certified veterans help train them. We had a student 3 summers ago who insisted on back peddaling despite several attempts to correct and warn him. Unfortunately, he did trip over a player during a 10/11 game, fell backwards and broke BOTH wrists. Both arms in a cast pretty much all summer. We use him as an example now.

Perhaps that will be the purpose of Loudwhistle2s buddy.
