Ha! That's about right! In fact, as part of the basketball team, we actually got EXEMPTED from lifting weights in gym class because lifting weights in-season can really screw up your shot. You really need to do your weight-training off season, though I imagine there are plans now on how to do it on off-days so it doesn't screw with your shooting.

I was 6'0"/150 lbs in high school (played only baseball) and solid but couldn't add muscle weight. Why?
I lifted weights enough but did't increase the amount of weight I was trying to lift, I was always doing the exact same lifts. My diet was borderline vegetarian, I don't really like meat like most and know now I didn't eat anywhere near the protein I needed to actually add muscle like I needed/wanted too. I was pretty much making the muscle I did have, a little larger.

Yeah, my weight program inhigh school consisted of the basketball coach telling me to "get bigger". Wow, great advice coach. No dietary info, no weight traning info just "get bigger". I think things have changed a bit since then.
During college I managed to build up my legs bigtime by riding mountain bikes up steep dirt roads, but that only helped cardio and my legs. When I finally did some targeted upper-body work in my 30's on my health club's machines (with some actual pro advice on what to do) I was actually surprised--my biceps got a bit bigger but my triceps exploded. Of course, then I tore up my shoulder playing hockey and that was the end of weightlifting for me, but it was fun while it lasted!
