Basketball is the MOST HIGHLY SKILLED GAME OF ALL
A significant obstacle to player development is emphasizing games, leagues and outcomes BEFORE THE PLAYER-TEAM has sharp skill. While this is still hard for Basics to believe, this is the status quo.
Not at Basics. We have over 200 graduates at the college level and over 90% off our players make their school teams precisely because we do NOT emphasize outcomes, we emphasize skill development.
