Game 1 & some other things

The items below are topics discussed by a few of us and we hope will provide a strategic guideline for our season:

 

A) Position depth chart (bolded names are 1^st string, no order afterwards):

1 – Ankit; Mike; Paulas

2 – Mike; David; Ankit

3 – KC; Phil; Nakul; David

4 – Sam; Nate; Nakul

5 – Bobby; Sam

 

This does not mean that the designated positions are the only position you will play.  This is merely a guideline.

 

B) Strategic teams:

 

Running team:

Ankit

Mike

Phil/KC

Nate

Sam

 

Shooting team:

Sam

Bobby

Phil

David

Ankit/Mike

 

Defensive team:

Mike

KC

Nakul

Nate

Sam

 

C) Rules of Engagement (just some things to think about and try for most of us):

 

Paulas – no 3 pointers when you are defended well.  Target only open 3s.

Phil – don’t have to force the shot, look for cutters too.

Nakul – when deep in the paint w/ the ball, go up, don’t pass out, unless necessary.

Nate – avoid being a popcorn machine, outlet quicker on defensive rebounds.

Ankit – don’t force it; reset, call time if needed.

Sam – less dribbling, look up for cutters if you are dribbling.

Mike – no wannabe kidd passes, no ‘hot sauce’.

 

If at anytime it become impossible to do any of these, it probably means the team is not playing or moving well and people are not doing their part.  This is when subs occur or time out is called.
