With the U18 Americas coming up soon, Canada Basketball hosted an assessment camp this past weekend. Nice to see Sangha earning player of the game during the U18 scrimmages.
Just a comment on watching the tournament.
The 3 point shooting has been horrendous overall, and I think there's a correlation between how physical the game is now, particularly defensive body checking, compared to the past.
I liken it to what happens to option QB's who get hit all the time and thus don't pass as accurately. All that hitting takes a toll.
If the woman's game is going to be refereed like the men's, and this kind of terrible outside shooting continues, teams that don't rely as much on 3 point shooting and have big, athletic players who get offensive rebounds for 2 point putbacks, are at an advantage.
I don't know if Geno's comments about the poor outside shooting was rim or site related, but to me watching lousy shooting games is hard to watch. I don't think it's going to make the game grow. That Texas/UCLA game was so ugly that I turned it off.
