Turkeygirl Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well another intramural basketball game tonight, against the field hockey team and coach of the jv basketball team. Should be good though I don't think we'll win. I could use a little help though. The captain is somewhat of a ball hog, like she always takes 3 point shots instead of waiting and passing around. She misses most of her 3 point attempts anyway, maybe making 1 out 5 or something. I want us to play well tonigh even if we lose, do any of you have any ideas of what I could say to her so that we can play with a less rushed offense and get more passes and good shots off? It annoys me sometmes when I get the ball on a rebound and I will automatically run up the floor with it if I can but then I pass the captain the ball because she is yelling for me to pass it to her. I've had to adjust from always playing guard or point guatd to playing forward and she doesn't seem to know that. Anyway wish us luck and any advice would be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadHuntinPastor Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: Another game tonight...big one.. First of all tell her by passing around more you will tire out the defense. Secondly...the 3-point shot will almost always be open. Try to get an easy bucket first and then look for the 3point shot after that. Thirdly...it is important to involve the whole team or they are going to get tired of watching her play. Lastly...you can say we are going to stop passing to you if you don't play more like a team member instead of an individual. (this isn't the best option since it may not be good for the team ) These are just a few ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Re: Another game tonight...big one.. Well we played awesome against this team but since we had 5 people and no subs, we died in the second half. The first half we were on fire and were leading at half time. The second half though, the team started a full press on us and just wore us out. the final score was like 30-21. I did manage to jam my finger when catching the ball so now it is swollen and bruised. And then I set a screen for the captain and the girl I put the screen on was running full speed, when she hit, I sent a pain right through my shoulder. I've had that happen twice now, setting a screen, getting hit hard and having a sharp pain go through my shoulder...hmmm..oh well. Monday is our last game beforep lay-offs. At least one team will get eliminated, I don't think it will be us,whew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
