Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 2898756, member: 6696"] I struggle with what to feel about the emphasis on the 3. Part of me wants to be the curmudgeony old guy who says "I remember when players were tough!!" (half the boneyard). But the ball movement and shooting can be a real pleasure to watch. And I'm happy the early 00's iso-ball days are over. That was dreadful. The problem I have from a coaching standpoint: EVERY kid wants to be a 3 pt bomber now. A 3 is a good idea if you can hit 35+% when open. It is NOT good for high school kids that shoot 25% at best in a close game. I can train my kids to get out of that mindset in a few weeks of tough practices, but they don't have great examples of how our style should look unless I provide them (I do). That being said, I think today's kids are less likely to iso and more likely to take pride in assists that I saw even 5 years ago. [/QUOTE]
