Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4379520, member: 5798"] When my son was a girls assistant JV basketball coach at their local high school, sometimes I would go to their practices to watch. I was puzzled why so many players were missing lay-ups while running a lay-up line. After getting permission from the coach to share an observation with his girls, I told them I noticed that too many of them were missing the easiest shot they could get in a game. I told them they were not taking the drill seriously. I asked them “how do you expect to make a lay-up with all the pressure that comes when playing a game, not to mention someone trying to prevent you from making the basket, when you can’t make a simple easy no pressure lay-up in a lay-up line”? :eek: They stopped taking the shot for granted, and started making more of them. I reminded them “you play as you practice.” [/QUOTE]
