Message: [QUOTE="my2cents, post: 3958476, member: 7898"] The changes that are coming to the game are mostly for the good. If you look at the Women's tournament games ( Elite 8/ FF) they devolved into "physical" games that looked more like rugby than basketball. The only way a non skilled player can play against a skilled player is to foul them and hope it doesn't get called. Geno said, in his last podcast, that "role" players will see diminished time as each player on the floor needs to be able to score the basket that is deemed to be the shot the offense is trying to get them. If you are post player, shots around the basket need to be made. If you are guard, open threes need to be taken and made. If the "scout" on your team is that you don't need to be guarded ( because of poor shooting) then it gums up the works for your team mates, as help defense can easily be given. Geno is not ready to go to 1 IN 4 Out model yet, as he sees the passing and sharing the ball as a way to get his highly touted recruits playing together. He see's his best players sill getting 35 shots per game. As for transfers, every great player needs exposure. Uconn gets them exposure (as 13 straight FF4s attest to). There is no doubt , that great players that are not getting exposure, because they are playing in a weak league or for a bad team, are going to jump to programs that will get that for them. When Ray Allen left Uconn, Jim Calhoun was asked if that was a smart move. He said yes, as Ray couldn't even afford one of his own jerseys sold in the mall. At the very least, players should be paid any income generated off their image or name. [/QUOTE]
