20 seconds on an offensive rebound in the front court. Definitely more challenging.

That is a copy of the NBA. Clock goes to 14 seconds after an offensive rebound as opposed to the normal 24. Moving the line back may see a few more mid range shots being taken. I think that is a good move.

....Even more need for some bigs on the front court_———as the % for 3s goes down, somehow it needs to be made up and strategy will be more for the3, 4, and 5s......get out some old play books!

Speaking of bigs, GaSt's new coach has landed not one, but two, three star 6'10" HS recruits, and ULM picked up a 6'10 and a 7'0", who are JUCO's, I believe.

But everyone in the SBC plays with 3 guard lineups and you don't need height in this league..? At least that's what I've been told.

Well, outside of Shawn Long, name the teams that have won league titles in the last five years with one.

The game has changed.

What about the current game makes it no longer valuable to have height? You don't have to have a front line that averages 6'10 to be good but height is an obvious advantage. I'm thinking our staff agrees as we've made a big push since the end of season to go out and revamp our frontcourt with bigger, more athletic guys.

But will they play?

I seem to remember us having a 7-footer who averaged about a buck thirty a game. Don’t disagree with you on our lack of bigs, but if it’s ULM getting 7-footers, color me skeptical.
