Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4211835, member: 8636"] I like analogies. Helps me understand stuff. How about golf. Practice tee, practice green, practice trap. Maybe with a coach. Is the tee grass or a mat. A round on the course with buddies. A tournament round with your arch-nemesis. Are these places the same? You do ALL of your work off the course. Swing mechanics, repetition, working on different shots, tinkering in general. You PLAY GOLF on the course. Strategy, execution. Tinkering, you better not on the course. Similar to hoops? You're coaching a golf team and player X can't get off the tee, or some other infirmity in practice. What do you do? Bench them and wait until they're ready to take their game out on the course. One more point to consider in the equation: theoretically, all the UConn players are top HS prospects/HS All-Americans. How much "benefit-of-the-doubt" should they get for being poor practicers?
