On a Role
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Back to basketball...
Watching some games in the conference tournaments over the last couple of days, I've noticed one main difference between good teams and poor teams. On teams that win consistently, each player knows their role. You won't see a guy sent in to rebound and set screens shoot a wild three-pointer. Likewise, you won't see a set shooter try to drive to the goal. This is usually a sign of a good coach and hence, a good team.
I've watched games over the last couple of days that got out of control and players were just jacking up three pointers, even guys who had career 12% averages from the three point line.
If you want to pick a winner in the NCAA bracket, look for teams that have excellent role players that stick to their roles.
