[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2702683, member: 73370"] i thnk the game has changed partly because the skill level of players is higher in some aspects, but i am not sure as you pointed out wex that has translated to a better game. players are bigger and the big players are more skill today in regards to shooting from distance, ball handling, and passing. when i played in high school i was one of two 6'3" kids who started and goodness if we ever shot outside the lane there was going to be hell to pay let alone handle the ball for very long on a break. we did have 5 starters who were between 6' and 6'3" as opposed to some high schools i have seen with all their kids between 6'3" and 6'7" it changes how defenses play, how you can play on the offensive end, but the big deal was there was a strategy. we would kill teams by isolating one of our two "guards" down low if teams would play us in man. granted this was a 3-a team then, 4-a now, but there was very much a plan of attack on the offensive end even though we would push the ball on the break and trapped a great deal in the half court to speed tempo. the obsession with analytical s and the value of the 3 over a 2 is the part that has ruined the game to me. coaches encourage kids to fire 3's under the assumption that is bigger than a 2, but only if you can make that damn thing at a decent clip.
