There was a player that shot 30-40 points EVERY game . No matter what ANYONE did (he would ALWAYS shoot 30-40 points. So we left him alone and guarded 5 on 4 and won. (My son says that's the silliest thing he's EVER heard.

Very, clever, Bruce.
Must have been a good coach.
Any other strange ones that won games like that ????

Yes, a very good coach, plenty of others, like playing against the top team, who were undefeated, and we out shot them 120 to 110 NO defence.
Screen AWAY
High post low post hook shots,
and scissors......
The game has changed now , the old days are gone, forever..

why? 'cause we won a few games by using some different things, that I don't see at the dome.

Bruce are you also Astor37? You both seem to have a tendency for superfluous commas.

I don't suppose you wold see a five man switching zone anymore.
Or shoot and run no dee.

I am not Astor37.
Someone told me I don't use enough commas.
Now you tell me I use too many.
It is like coaching.
You can't please everybody.
Like when you win a game by leaving the best oposition player unguarded,some say your a genius and some say your an idiot.
and some start a post about themselves and use the word genius in it. Next time just pat yourself quietly on the back and enjoy the win.

I was not the coach that game.
I just thought maybe worth passing on that idea to people playing now, could be worth a try.

Nah, Farley did that last year, and look what happened to him......
saves turning and facing doubling up and they still score plenty

That is what I am trying to say.
Let them get 50 points unguarded
(or they get 40 points guarded)
So leave them IF you can't stop them.....
Then they have to come and screen and stop shooting
