[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry about that--the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and in basketball, that means those who are solid scorers.  [/quote]

I completely agree that solid scorers are important in basketball.  But a team of low %, inefficient shooters who play bad perimeter defense is a recipe for disaster.  Bad, forced shots and no rebounding leads to fast break opportunities for the other team.  So IMO- there's a place for defense-first kids who pass the ball within an offensive system.  Instead, they allow dribble penetration which leads to easy baskets or fouls on the helping defender.  They suck.  It is what it is.

The sad thing is that two kids (and their parents) still think they're destined for scholarships despite poor grades, bad stats, and few wins in a small school conference.

I'll take my son who's #4 in his class, 3.95 GPA, a 29 ACT with average athleticism every day and twice on Sunday. [/quote]

Scholarships sound like a stretch, but possible.  Lots of teams out there.  Wish them luck.[/quote]
