Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 5135169, member: 6696"] Andre's inability to learn to shoot is an example of something I say on here that tends to piss people off. It is REALLY, REALLY difficult to improve skills in college due to the lack of practice time and generalized nature of the coaching. That doesn't mean you can't improve... it's just harder. Players can improve decision-making and learn the Xs and Os in college, but truly learning a new skill at an elite level is tough. In the league, Andre has a full-time, dedicated coach for shooting as much as he wants all off-season, and he has improved. Whereas in college, he worked with Kimani in limited time in the off-season. There's just only so much the coaching staff could do in between recruiting visits, game planning, etc. [/QUOTE]
