Junior high basketball: If I were king of Jr High basketball, I would make it so there was no three point shot.

My 13 year old's season just ended and I have watched an entire year of kids firing bombs from beyond the arc. Most of the kids are shooting from their waist and developing terrible fundamentals. There is no effort to work the ball for a good shot.

There is no way these kids should be shooting the ball from that distance.

That would drive me crazy too, but it just has not been an issue in the youth basketball that my boys are in. There is the occasional 3-point attempt - but nothing excessive. I wonder why the difference?

I've seen differences in leagues. A lot of times it is dependant on how well they teach defense or emphasize defense. I've found that coaches in the middle schools and high schools aren't necessarily the best at coaching so you get a lot of chucking threes.

Personally when I coached if your layer could shoot and had an open shot I wanted them to take it.

Nothing like a little squirrel play to chase the crickets away.

I think more study needs to be done on this and we should be included in the research.

I agree with this. Give me a shapely B or C cup any day over something bigger. Bigger is not better.

Research done by brain dead scientists

Research done by brain dead scientists

Why do you say that?

[wcfwtf]

well for some reason i can't see the original post, but the Study was saying if you use one side of your brain you don't use the other as much.

So I was just kind of making an oxymoron statement as in braindead scientists.

Scientist are very smart, but the other side is brain dead.
