Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3958397, member: 7511"] To understand the future, maybe we need to look at the past. Back when I was in college, during the Dark Ages, there was no 3-pt line and freshmen were not eligible to play varsity ball. There was even a 10-year ban on dunking in college basketball: the so-called “Lew Alcindor” rule. Through the years players have gotten bigger, stronger, more athletic and far more skilled. The game has grown significantly both among young girls and internationally. In the end, the best coaches will adapt to positionless basketball, liberal transfer rules and NIL compensation for players, just as they adapted to the 3-pt shot, freshman eligibility and other changes to the game. The coaches who cannot adapt will go the way of the dinosaurs. [/QUOTE]
