RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I would expect several of the Blues players to be able to throw it down. Alley Oop is a thing of beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo 39 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 A lot of skill and fundamental coaches don't like the dunk. I think the three point shot is more dangerous to a team than the dunk. A lot of times we see and hear the phrase, "depends on which team shows up.". If a team is hitting the three they can easily throw in 90 points a game but if they are off they struggle to score 60. The pass, dribble, box out and post up has taken a back seat to the dunk and the three. Sad thing is teams are playing basketball the way people like to see basketball played which is by the three and the dunk instead of the boring basic fundamentals.

RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Fundamental basketball is scarce these days and it's a shame. However, if a player has the ability to dunk the ball it's a huge advantage.... Especially if he can go straight up under the basket with power and throw down 2 handed. That's fundamental basketball. Shorter distance for the ball to travel than a layup....Higher percentage shot and much less chance a defender blocks the shot. Usually draws a foul in the process as well. Where fundamentals are thrown out the window is when players dribble way too much instead of looking to make great passes and they choose to do a 360 or between-the-legs slam when they could go with a simple dunk that's higher percentage. But..... I still enjoy watching it either way. Milo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Today's basketball has shifted away from proper execution of picks, passes, and an offense and more into dribble drive, three pointers, and one on one. GC_Quincy and Milo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbgfan 855 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 The Blues had 3 players who were in the double-double category in this game: Phillips (20 points, 13 rebounds) T.

Milo 39 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I am still not sold on this Richlands team yet, and not because they don't have great skill and athletes they for sure have the skill and the athletes. It is because of the direction the team is led. Just because you put up great numbers against Pilgrims Knob I'm not buying in yet. That being said, do this against a team that can play defense such as Graham and I will buy in. I personally don't think the kids have the leadership to finish in the big games to come for them. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mv91 259 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 As a Richlands supporter, it is hard to really know how good this team really is because we truly haven't played anyone so far. This coming Thursdays game against Graham will definitely help to gauge where this Richlands team truly stands at this point in the season. As far as leadership to finish the big games. I believe if the "BALL" is put in the right players hands in crunch time, this team is very capable to win the close ones. Ball is a very unselfish player and a great passer and will look for the open man, no matter who that open man is!!! Milo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Oops, my bad on lack of proper assist recognition No big deal. You've probably just read about Phillips being a walking triple double and assumed it had to have been him passing the ball.
