whatever dude. i am done for the night. Get ready for second basketball lesson in the morning.
And if I don't?
Then your sarcasm detector must be as defective as your 'basketball knowledge'.
Even if you didn't like it, you cant deny that it was knowledgeable.

If validation is what you're looking for, then seek out a support group.
Not what I am looking for. I know how much I know basketball. I don't need anyone to validate. Anyways good night. I will see you all in the morning with the second lesson. Class dismissed.
Then why post at all?
Attention .
da_suns_fan reincarnate?
I got so much for you tomorrow, just wait.
It's kind of like listening to Vitale splutter his NBA knowledge on Mike & Mike.
I really don't understand why you think it's ok to talk down to women in such a degrading manner.
Well, then why don't I use the English that you'll understand? Eat and die.
One thing that I really wish is that Clinging Mars, Mr. Bottomtooth and others would just ignore the trolls. The constant "Don't feed the trolls" type of responses by Clinging Mars are just as annoying as the trolls themselves. Use your ignore list.
There has been a lot of discussion in this series about whether to double Tim Duncan or not. I figured I would take todays lesson as an opportunity to discuss everything that goes into doubling the post.
When a coach decides to double a man in the post, he has quite a few decisions to make. One of which is when to double.
Typically it is done at two points. Either when the post player catches the ball, or when he puts the ball on the ground aka dribbles the ball. If it is done right away, it is called a quick double.
Another decision that needs to be made is how tough the double team is. Are they trying to just make the post player feel the presence of two players, or are they trying hard to make him get rid of the ball right away. The first option listed is called a soft double and the second one is called a hard double.
The third decision is who to double off of. Different players are used depending on the personnel on the other team. One option is a big to big double. This is where the other post player comes from the other block (or wherever the other post player is at) to double. A quick rotation is needed from away from the ball down to the block in order to prevent a quick block-to-block pass, which would result in an easy layup.
Another option, which is probably, the most commonly used involves doubling down off the nearest perimeter player. In this scenario, no matter who the nearest perimeter player is, the perimeter defender doubles down and everybody rotates over leaving the farthest perimeter player away open.
A third scenario involves doubling off of one specific perimeter player. This is done if you know one player is a really poor perimeter shooter. He is left open on the perimeter and is challenged to knockdown the outside shot. If he cuts, he of course needs to be picked up.
A final option involves a combination of the previous two where it is known certain players can’t be doubled off of like a Peja type player, and some people can be left open to go down a double.
Just like ball screens, communication is key in rotating out of the double teams and closing out on the shooters. This is something that hopefully the hornets can correct for game 5. Hope you enjoyed your lesson today, especially you ladies out there.
I have no idea how I've managed to enjoy basketball before being advised of these principles.
Then there's the Hornets double-team, where rotations get all screwed up and you leave the Spurs two best perimeter shooters wide open.
I learn something from your post. Thank you cajunhornetsbayou. Sincerely.
And the search for validation and affirmation continues.
Thanks
I miss lesson #1. Is #3 coming?
Lesson 1 was en led "Basketball Lesson for Today" It is proabably on the next page of threads by now. It dealt with the different ways to defend ball screens. Lesson 3 will come tomorrow. I am looking for a topic to discuss for tomorrow if you want to learn more about a certain aspect of basketball, let me know.
