Often players are just thrown into games without the guidance and time to let their physical skills & abilities develop. Most coaches are focused on teaching the situational side of basketball with game reads and set plays. Their focus is on the team aspect side of basketball leaving less emphasis on the individual skill side of the sport. Even then, with their skill development many are still teaching the same and sometimes outdated drills that don’t produce results.

 

Now players are left to figure this side of the game for themselves. In turn the individuals that naturally figure things out on their own tend to get more playing time, leading to more experience on the court leaving the other players wondering what they are missing out on.
