[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is now a PG but for a long time, he played a forward. He had to switch many teams to get there.  It was a long road.[/quote]

From what I’ve seen, most coaches in this area will not allow a big kid to play PG. It really stunts their growth in the sport. You basically have to refuse to play a different position and it doesn’t go over well with coaches or the team. [/quote]
Or when they get rebounds push the ball up the court and make little guys run with him.  If the coach complains then there is a problem.  Let the coach you don’t want to play in a situation where you are never allowed to play the 1.  If the coach doesn’t cooperate, definitely switch teams.

My son told his coach this and that he was willing to come off the bench if he couldn’t start.  Coach wanted him to start in the post, claiming he would let him run the point later in the game, but rarely did it, and my son switched teams.

These coaches will use your kid up and too many to care if your kid develops more than a post game.  If your son doesn’t have more the a post game and doesn’t grow taller that 6’8”, he won’t play beyond high school, and in many cases won’t play much in high school either.[/quote]

Wouldn’t most rebounders/post players get it from the coach if they ran the ball up the court and didn’t pass to PG?  Our team lets the post players switch positions so they play 1 and 2 from time to time. Unusual for sure.

I wouldn’t let a kid only play post until well into HS.  They’ll never learn any real skills.[/quote]
