Dillon, I would say you were very lucky in your GC experiences because my experience and that of all my friends in HS was they were pretty worthless, but ...

I played pick-up ball through junior high and on one age specific and very poor team when I was maybe 12. But I loved the game and watched the Celtics dynastic years religiously. Never coached.

Except for a stretch when I lost interest with the men's pros (around the time of the Len Bias death) until I started watching the Uconn women I have spent the years watching and learning about the game. Definitely not an insider, but think I can see what is happening on a court pretty well.

Absolutely agree about the carry rule changing the game, and think the other big change is the walk rule on a similar level. Add in the three pointer, shot clock, and a much stricter interpretation of fouls. But the biggest change over the years is pure athleticism especially with the men. Nutrition, training, shoes, and evolution have changed all sports, but probably basketball more than other team sports.
