perimeter defence

They just don't pass it to the corner - particularly the left corner. Just ask Scott K ... or CJ. If nothing else it would change the side/angle from which we attack, but it seldom if ever happens.

Another thing reinforced this afternoon is that very few 36ER players are prepared to accept responsibiity to actually shoot the ball. How many times did we have it in the paint, only to pass it, often under perssure, back to the perimeter, often resulting in a turnover instead of a shot?

Nor does the team look to run a fast break. Players jog into position ready to start a half-court set rather than run ahead of he ball and cut to the basket. At one stage we had a four on two and two players ran to and stood in the wing positions while the ball was passed back towards the half-way line. If nothing else a wing cut from either side would force the defence change position.

And don't start me on passing skills and decision-making.

If this was round one or two I might be optimistic, but really, some of this is under-age stuff!

is it me or has girls basketball turned into a game where the team who slaps the most wins? I mean I've played basketball since i was in under 8's and the aim has always been the W but since Ive been back in adelaide after a stint away all I see at training sessions is soft drills which dont achieve anything. I Div 3 girls game late last year and tonight a div 2 game both under 18's where 1 team dominated and the other team put their head down. At passadina tonight in an 18 girls 3 game woodville had girls on the phone while on the bench chatting away and the coach did nothing!!

Honestly, i believe in strict dicepline and hard training because people... you learn more than just basketball in the game you learn about life as well and if their is no one cracking the whip then the message of always go hard for what you want and also if your gonna do something do it well is totally lost.

The girls leagues need to be more strict they need to go at it harder and they need coach's who will crack the whip 100% of the time.
