    they are saying why doesn't college play like the nba where its all spread the court but wanna froget that there are barely enough big men in the nba that can fill those roles so how is college gonna do the same. College is an older style of basketball because of the lack of number of great shooting bigmen. Its the same reason these college football teams run these crazy offenses that would never work in the nfl because there is a lack of guys talented enough to play the nlf style qb there isnt even enough for the NFL

    In college basketball you actually see tons of different styles. You’re not getting 50 threes vs 50 threes each night. Some teams play zone while other teams press full court all game. Some teams slow down the pace and play with a traditional big. I love watching the different styles compete.

    A key reason is that the disparity in talent makes it an uneven playing field. What I mean is that IF the teams in college were more even in talent, then coaching would rise to the surface. But because talent in many cases is so uneven great coaching doesn't necessarily result in success and bad coaching can still be rewarded when they have lottery picks covering up these glaring strategic mistakes that JJ and LBJ are pointing out.

      The ncaa tournament kinda proved you wrong this year tbh. Kentucky is the more talented team but they lost to a better coach team. If we're being honest coaching is more important in college with all the different styles in offense and defense and as coach your setting the tone for your program. If you don't have a great coach in college it shows. In the NBA coaches are replaceable just look at the bucks this year. NBA coaches have to manage personalities since everyone in the NBA usually has similar offense and defense. Also consider the fact that NBA has put so much emphasis on star players, that it's made coaches hand cuffed with how they handle them. Unless you're a respected coach like pop.

    I find it ironic they accuse college teams of lacking innovation, but when we send the American national team to play against European national teams with significantly less individual talent, those teams make the game close because they play with better strategies (i.e. more ball reversal). They should follow their own advice and use more optimal strategies in their games.

      @julianwilson5607 Місяць тому +1

      @Gnofg well it's smart if your getting solid stops on defense and making shots at a high % on offense. Doncic takes 10 three pointers a game at 37%. The Atlantic Hawks are awful as a team on defense so they struggle. Luka's team has won 10-11 games. It's working because their playing solid defense as a team along with 57% from 2 pt range along with solid 3 pt shooting..The threat of teams making 3 point shoots opens up the lane from defenders so in return the offense gets high % shots. Bottom line is the top teams in the NBA lead the NBA in 3 point shooting, but the teams only shooting well inside the arc and not behind it struggle. The problem with college ball is the players miss too many open shots. Guys with the ball aren't good at facilitating the high screen offense. That's why you don't see many guys go from college to the NBA and be good as perimeter players running the offense immediately. Trae was at Oklahoma. He lead the nation in scoring and averaged like 10 assists a game. Soon as he got to the NBA, he did well. Most guys aren't good enough. College ball runs alotta old school offense still, guys make alotta mistakes, miss shots, so it looks like their playing better D then the NBA which isn't true at all in my opinion. The NBA offenses they run with awesome offensive players who can shoot, pass, and read defenses are impossible to stop. You just gotta pick your poison and hope they miss on defense as a team.

      Can you name another sport that has different scores for a goal, touchdown or run?
      Trae was coached in high school, AAU. And one year in college. Do you think he is having deep discussions on the theory behind basketball.
      Most of the U.S. players have very limited coaching. You learn defense in college and most of the modern players don’t learn correct defensive position.
      The game is out of balance. It should be a mix of low post, midrange and deep shooting. It is just deep shooting now.
      When you play pickup do you shoot 3 pointers because if you are you are not a good enough shooter to take that shot. Amateurs do not shoot 35% and if you aren’t then you are doing worse.

I’ve told them not to do that countless times and they still do it. Part of it is they’re not at the level where they’re thinking out there. They’re simply playing on instinct and their instincts aren’t very good, yet.

    NBA basketball today has no defense and too many three point attempts. Lack of getting back on transition defense, lack of helping the helper on defense, lack of offensive creativity, too much spacing which makes bigs innefective and not able to do valuable dirty work such as rebounding and boxing out. This creates a lack of second chance points which means less offensive rebounds. Teams just run up and down the floor and shoot a long range three wit no one at the basket to get missed shot attempts. Just running up and down the court jacking up shots and not working the ball inside the post and out to shooters on wing is disastrous. Yes, there are more possessions on offense today, but not longer and efficient ones of the older days. All of that stuff worked for Golden State with KD, Steph, Klay. But not every team has multiple players who can shoot like those guys. That’s what teams fail to realize. Use what you have. For example, if you have a bunch of big guys with talented post skills and passing, work the ball in the post and make plays for them. Hard to watch the game now. Why would you want someone like Shaq to shoot threes and miss.

    • @davidparks4835

      Everyone who wants a productive modern style team should watch teams like the Kings. Mike Brown has a fast paced offense, but it is effective unlike many of the other fast paced teams in the league. Brown allows Domas Sabonis to drive into the paint, work in the post, and pass out to wing shooters. The whole offense is built around Domas, which allows for multiple defenders to collapse on him, Domas to pass out to wing shooters, and get free throws from fouls on him inside the paint. It is hard to succeed without a reliable inside presence, because the defense will just be able to deny shooters from getting the ball. If teams know that you never going to throw the ball to your 7 footer in the post, why would they ever guard the paint?

    I love college basketball. Teams run zone defense. More teams are running set plays instead of just ball screen action and iso. It's different styles instead of everyone running the same plays. Plus the tournament is being dominated by two big men that post up. Hand checks aren't called as much so the game can get more physical. It's way different from NBA ball and that's why I love it.

    That was AR's fault. Rui and AD had him covered. All AR had to do was communicate to Rui to slide to Kuzma because AD had AR covered for the 2nd screen. You know Kuz is either going to pop out or slide back back, and Avdija was setting the 2nd screen in which AD was behind, so this would allow AR to slide back in front of Tyus Jones, and everyone can go back to their original defensive assignments. Easy defensive recovery.

    • @cptfwiffo
      @cptfwiffo Місяць тому

      Spot on. Also, them saying a leaner is not a real shot... that's a shooter talking. Shooting has nothing to do with hands, grace, skill, or touch. Only with ensuring you're square, repeatable mechanics, enough space to fire. In the post, it's different. If you're off 5% of your arc, it still goes in. It leads to a plethora of shots which are good enough on short distance, but impossible at a distance. Look at Hakeem, or Barkley, or the Mailman. They did all sorts of somewhat weird shots, where they found a tiny hole in the defense where they could toss the ball through. All the up and under, the reverse, the baby hook, they are possible nearby. That is all touch, remaining stable through contact, skill, and grace.
      You can say Shaq was a beast, but he also had a pretty touch near the rim (but it fell into the mariana trench 5 feet out)

    • @QGfk1

      their point is that only the best bigs or somebody in a mismatch is worth posting up, while in college you regularly see them run a play where the ball gets chucked in to an unskilled big. it's the same as the midrange, you wouldn't want to run a play where the goal is for a mediocre shooter to get a midrange look

      because there are better shots. the other exception would be if a big has a huge mismatch, that would be a good shot too. the average value of an NBA shot has gone way up in the last 8 years because of pace and space and the plays that have come out of it. this whole episode is how a lot of these new popular actions are very hard to guard. the value of a hook shot from a mediocre big in the post hasn't changed. also, a specific thing to the post is that it's the easiest place to send a double and most bigs aren't good enough passers to reliably punish that, which is why jokic is a nightmare.
