BSDs maybe, but not when referring to height! Maybe I'm just ass-backwards???

Instead they use the word LENGTH. Of course, both words are interchangeable to them. We are definitely on the same page. In the NBA, they don’t usually use the word HEIGHT.

Of course, you can't coach height otherwise I haven't a clue what you mean by "LENGTH"! Now, if you ask anyone with a clue about athletics, you realize that speed cannot be taught.

Don't get me wrong on this because we are all La Salle supporters. If you are an avid NBA or US NCAA fan, which I had been since the time of Larry Bird in the early 80s, the one thing you cannot coach or teach as most, if not all, basketball experts say is LENGTH. Between speed and length, the former wears off through time while the latter will remain to be permanent. To coach Franz, if you are reading all our posts in this particular topic, I believe that we are one in saying "PLAY THE ROOKIES!" ANIMO LA SALLE!!!

What's with all the travelling calls? This is fundamental basketball I was taught when I was 8 years old! Dribble first then move the pivot foot! Unforced errors are suicide... 2. Box out! There were a number of times during the UE game when a shot would go up and there would be three La Salle players around the rebound but the guy in the white jersey would come down with it! Why? Everyone's too busy being spectators on the court rather than playing the game!!! Again, this is fundamental to the game... box out your man first THEN look for the ball! 3. Forcing shots. UE played a picture-perfect zone trap defense in the first half and La Salle took too many forced shots. In a zone defense, when you miss a shot on offense, it's likely the zone will recover the rebound because they are already in position to BOX OUT their opponents. We took too many bad shots from way outside even the college three-point line! Can someone tell these players that you don't have to take a shot two feet back of that line?!? 4. Slowwwww... I would like to see more crisp ball movement when in the attacking half. Too many times I saw our boys standing around, not moving, holding onto the ball. When attacking a zone, you have to be quick with your passes on the outside perimeter to move the defense around to a point where they will inevitably leave one player open. I would demand a quicker pace of play! 5. Answer me this: what is the ONE thing you can't coach? Anybody? Speed! You can't coach speed! La Salle came back in the second half because they let the #12 play (I think his name is Tolentino) point and what a difference he made! His speed broke the zone defense and put UE in a real bind! In the end, we lost because the breaks went their way (and let's face it, good teams find ways to win these types of games) but what changed in the second half was we finally put some speed on the court and that made all the difference in the world! Pumaren can't coach speed but he can recognize that it works and hopefully, going forward, he'll let speed help the team do better.
