Hello everybody! This is my first week in BB, so I'd appreciate some help from more experienced managers. Most of my players have decent driving skill, and I wonder which tactics can use the most of it?

I tried Motion in the first game, since jump shot is sort of second best skill among the players, but they shot really badly in that game. So I switched to Princeton trying to cut some midrange shorts and load tall players more heavily in the second game, but they didn't seem to get the ball often enough, and my worst midrange shooters (PGs) kept firing the ball like mad from mid-range despite the tactics. :(

Not that I desperately needed to win any of these two starting games, as I put more attention to proper allocation of training time, but I am a bit concerned about the lack of influence I have over the game.

u have probably choosen the worst tactics in order to use driving. princeton and motion rather need passing than driving.

probably look inside or push the ball are better tactics for your team

look inside:
your team needs:
good driving
good inside shot on your inside players
good stamina and/or good Back-up players
good JS

and u wont use the JR skill of your players

push the ball:
u need kind of everything
your team especially needs good stamina

I dont agree with this in fact id like to see any evidence on stamina dramatically changing the outcome of a tactic/game.... i agree you can assume as much depending on how you interpret the rules but i also feel if you have the right skills within your players then stamina is a nicety not a neccessity
