[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to get up 20 shots a game unless this person is getting lots of rebounds, steals, or getting open for passes - so good for her.  Also, getting lots of shots up is a skill in and of itself, it means she is getting open looks by beating the defense.  She may be missing alot, but good for her for actually being able to get that many shots up.

Your daughter and her teammates need to do something about it through their play.  Get the rebound or steals, get open.  Don't pass to her if she isn't open for a good shot.[/quote]

OP here. Nope. She isn't getting that many rebounds. She simply takes most of the team's shots. Because she is point guard, she brings the ball down the court almost every time. I'm not sure how this pattern was initially established -- probably because this kid has an absolutely massive ego, while the other kids are a bit on the quiet side. Typically, she dribbles with her eyes pointed down, not seeing any other players, dribbles into a corner where she comes under heavy pressure, and then puts up an awful shot from 15 feet away. It is maddening to watch the same scenario unfold again and again and again.

My daughter will go ahead and ask to play point guard for a quarter a game, and hopefully the coach will accept this sensible suggestion, allowing the team to make a small step forward.
