Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3829077, member: 9260"] coaching, teammating 101, for those interested only in winning the game/tourney: 'listen bub, [I]we[/I] have our best chance to win if [I]you ([/I]top scorer or hot hand) shoot the dang ball more.' sumtimes, the coach/teammate has to remind the playa that [I]we[/I] have our best chance to win when [I]they[/I] jack up more shots. take, for example, the team dynamic when they see that playa take that shot that they expect/hope she takes. harmony. (nothing implied aboot this game, just stating a 'winning' truth aboot bball. if there was an award for 'most likely to start a fight in the huddle,' i'd prolly win it most years, as i only care aboot winning the game, and not aboot my pals 'feelings.' funny how that works, especially after winning that game. then, it's all lovey-dovey. this also includes the playa saying 'gimme the dang ball, and i'll put the dang biscuit in the dang basket, and we will win.' note: as far as that biscuit/basket thing, usually not me. on the udder hand, the pass or the board, often me. winning ballers will walk on broken glass to get the ball to [I]that[/I] playa. my feet hurt a lot, but my meaningless, except to me, trophy collection is big fun. 'hey cliff, 'member that time we won the city 8th grade tourney? u almost tore my head off for not shooting enuf early in that game. thanks!') [/QUOTE]
