[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does a basketball lineup change or are coaches unwilling to change their starters?  What's typical?[/quote]

So many issues that it depends on a host of issues. I've coached and I've generally kept the starting 5 the same if they all show up. They have the most consistency and chemistry when playing together. This doesn't mean it is my 5 best players. In fact, I usually have my 4 or 5th best player come off the bench.

But, that does always mean I do it that way. If we are playing a more guard centric team I might swap a big kid for a guard or playing a taller team a switch in a big forward. Just depends.[/b]

I can tell you this, the kids on the court in a tight game with 2-3 minutes left, are the ones that I think are the best players and will make the best decisions.[/quote]

Why are you letting other teams dictate how you play? [/quote]
smart coaching?

They put out a guard heavy lineup and you respond with guards. They put out bigs and you respond with bigs. Seems like you're letting the other team decide how the game is going to be played [/quote]

Go read what i wrote. I know DCuM and reading comprehension aren't good friends. I wrote might depends on the talent level of the other team/player.. i dont go into games blind. I eatch other teams play all the time. So.for example, if I know their big is slow and unathletic I probably don't do anything. If he's good I probably will to try to keep him off the boards and insert a taller player.

So yes. Smart coaching.[/quote]

NP and non-coaching parent, but it’s wild to me that people think it would be good coaching to not respond and adjust to what the other team is doing.  Juts from watching my own kid’s teams over the years, it seems obvious that good teams are adaptable and bad teams tend to be more in the one-trick pony camp.[/quote]
