Message: [QUOTE="Fatroony5, post: 5306130, member: 10323"] Exactly. It’s something I actually teach, playing off two feet & working it on consistently. I love euro steps too, but not every play in the paint needs to be a Euro, it’s one of the biggest issues I keep seeing. Kids getting stuck, swatted, bad misses at the rim because they don’t know anything else but euro stepping when they get in there. It’s why I always tell our kids to watch UConn, watch Cam Spencer, Kon Knueppel, Derrick White, whoever. Learn to be efficient off the ball, how to read defenses, make decisive reads, all of that. Reality for most of our kids is: they aren’t going to be the main guy on their high school teams, the talent in Charlotte (and other places really) is way too high for that. I mean, last year we had a public high school game where Isiah Evans is dropping 40+ on a team with 3 D1 players on it, both public high schools. Learn how to impact winning, defend, play without the ball, & knock down open shots. Lower usage, higher efficiency play style is the only way you get on the court at these good programs. Some parents haven’t figured that out yet, but lots of kids get it. [/QUOTE]
