Hey Woodson, tell me how long your coaching again

English MF, do you speak it?

If you really want to go that route around here, you’ll be checking into the looney bin within days. Just don’t. Let it go. But I do love the reference. One of my all-time favorite films. 😂

Stockton and Nash weren't doing it because it hadn't become known or accepted that jumping gives you a better angle for the pass. Those 2 are also 2 of the best passers in the history of basketball, so they can find passing angles where others can't...they probably didn't need the added angle.

Analytics also weren't a thing when those guys played. So they probably didn't focus on baseline 3's...which has become one of the most popular and known efficient shots in basketball.

Stockton and Nash were dribbling thru a lane that was much more congested because of the style of play and with a smaller lane at that time. While maintaining their dribble and racking up assists without turnovers. And there are plenty of good college point guards who are staying under control in the paint and making the assist. IMO, most of the jumping in the air on the baseline is from a player making a move to the basket and getting unexpectedly cut off with nowhere to go. And you would be very limited on where the pass could go, which makes it much easier to defend. I doubt most college coaches are teaching that.

Thanks for the morning laugh. Love to start the day with a smile on my face!

Well...not sure where else I can go with this.

This "move" is now about as normal and accepted as the euro step, another move that wasn't around back with those players play.

Nash especially would have dominated with the sliding baseline pass action, just like he would have with the euro step. But neither was a "thing" when he played.

Not sure where to go? What the hell man? Just admit us oldtimers like our basketball like it was played in the 60's and 70's. No reason for all this new-fangled euro step and jump and chuck stuff!

Yeah...I guess the question is whether or not some of these new concepts and moves are actually "better". I think, at times, the analytics stuff can have an unintended negative consequence...that it forces people to run things, and do things, that get the ball in to specific spots more often. And that comes at the expense of movement. When some of the most dominant concepts and styles work because of the flowing nature, and the "randomness". Coach Knights motion, as an example. Princeton's offense. Some of today's Warriors offensive principles. When ran with good, skilled players, those offenses are essentially "un guardable". And with as many skilled players as there are running around now a days...it baffles me that more college coaches aren't employing more motion based stuff.

I'm just arguing that Trey isn't "dumb" for making that play.
