I am here in Gambier Ohio, at Kenyon College for the opening of their spectacular Athletic Center. Nothing like this in the US. This will not be a long post but I could not help but comment on the headlines in today?s USA Today Sports page regarding the influx of skilled European player. Well da! If you work on skills and coach skills and you have good athletes then you will have skilled players. That is pretty profound. The more basketball gets away from the school and coaches who are teachers the worse skills will be. More games, is more exposure. It is also less practice and work on fundamentals.
