Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3944642, member: 833"] There is no reason to ever walk the ball up the court no matter what your talent is and no matter what the other team's talent is. 1) The shot clock works as a 6th defender, so don't burn clock not running your offense. 2) It is always easier to score against a defense that is not set. Always. Get the ball up court as fast as possible. If there is an opportunity to score, attack, if not, run your offense. 3) Slowing down the offense facilitates whatever gimmicks (traps, jumping passes, switching defenses) the opposing defense has planned. The last two reasons are relevant if you are a high level D1 team, or a bunch of middle aged fat guys playing at the YMCA. [/QUOTE]
