Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3829546, member: 8636"] I'm with you Cuango. So, when we talk about a set of skills an athlete needs to have to be effective in any sport, we have to reference the players' coaches? We're supposed to blame Kevin McHale for Dwight Howard's lack of a post game? (great example BTW) Pete Newell, old time big men moves guru, NCAA champion coach at UCal-Berkeley, wrote the definitive books on post moves. Can go to any library and dust them off. (be careful, short shorts were in then) Liv has gotten this instruction from the age of whenever it looked like she would be taller than everyone else. 5th grade maybe? It's also one of those things in basketball that you can practice by yourself. It's up to Liv. Grade her by the number of basic moves that she masters and does in a game. 2 or 3, so far? Oops- one more thing. She needs to learn how to pivot better. Hint: Youtube- 1977 Portland-Philly NBA championship. I love Bill Walton! Fundamentally sound! [/QUOTE]
