Message: [QUOTE="Sphinx, post: 5194930, member: 4623"] "Positionless Basketball" is just an admission that you are very uneven on talent and have to find a way to get your two or three best players to do everything. It becomes more extreme when you have a superstar. Duke and UConn both have a player who can play every position better than anyone else on the team. What they want, ideally, is for that player to be on the ball at all times, to be both the initiator and the finisher of everything they do offensively. Anytime the ball is not in that person's hands, the team is not maximizing it potential, not fully exploiting its talent. Mid-majors have this problem all the time. They may have one star player to the opponent's five, but if they can keep the ball in the hands of their one star player, they have a chance. [/QUOTE]
