1%er, 3%er, 0%er
Approximately 3% of athletes make it to the college level. Approximately 1% of athletes make it to play at the D1 level. Many of the people on this board fall in to the 0% of athletes that make it to play at the college level or raise or train the 1-3%.
Just a reminder that fans don’t know what each player’s role is. Many times fans have a hard time determining if a players is engaging in their role effectively/ineffectively.
Fans interpret things one way, but many times coaches and players have different perspectives and expectations.
AND guess what… they aren’t always perfect. They make mistakes that are sometimes tracked by numbers while sometimes a mistake goes undocumented. They are playing off adrenaline. There is no time to stop and think. They just have to read and react while 9 other players are reading and reacting simultaneously in practically the same space. So while many people are suggesting what 1 player should or should not be doing, they forgot to consider the actions of the other 9 1%ers (athletes) also occupying the court.

new players and coaches. The key is not to know everything. The key is to adapt as needed. I felt the last week or so was a big step for all. Good job players and coaches!

They still need a coach..don't you think. From the times they play in school. Travel ball, etc. They are still players but what gets them at college level is being able to play ball at College.. Got a couple grand daughters that spent lot time from 10 years old up till college level. If you get here..play like one.... Just my two cents worth , sometimes coaches got to play with what they have. Reason lot players don't last or stay..
