Buzzerbeater needs to have cheerleaders that affect the morale of the team at home games and for the squads that cost more (of course we'll be bidding on them) they will sometimes even travel with the team for help with enthusiasm on the road.

It is already implemetned - check PR manager specialities. Who do you think hires all that good-looking girls? It is called Crowd Involvement.

I just think look at it this way - if you want to improve a player in some skill neeeded in game for example teach Gerald Wallace to shoot treys better or Adam Morrison to rebound, you would focus on that in practices. It could result in slight damge in other things as the player is trying to do it right and can be confused a bit in the beginning. In BB where we can't adjust line up to mismatch etc. this damage is represented by a need of playing the player on a different position - let say in reality the player plays at the same spot but he is concentrating on differetn things in a game - those who is learning, those in which is trained.

And teams where a lot of learning occurs tend to play worse at first - check Larry Brown's teams in their very first months.

He is trying to teach all players how to play efficiently in the system. PG is just very important part of it. But that discussion would be off topic. Trust me, I'm va Bobcats' fan.

Yeah, +1, as they say. I'm more of a forwards trainer than a pure SF trainer but that suggestion of yours is one I can see the benefit of and agree with.

Mind you, I'd also like to see two-position OD pressure training for wingmen* and have one-position** passing training for any position.

*If I can train OS or wingmen, why the flip not OD?

**Why on earth not, you seriously telling me learning how to pass is position-dependent???

Contrary to some people say, it is upsetting for a current SF trainers to see the training become easier. Brianjames said that current SF trainers will have better players to start with, so they don't stand to lose from the proposed change: well, not if those players are 23 and maxed out (think Ismael Grubbs here).


The game can't progress (or, some would prefer change) cause it might poorly effect some players. Fair enough. I don't think it makes BB any better for the future, but that's just me.

Based on that, I think it's ironic that some of those taking this opinion are telling others to adapt.

Hmmm, but you are suggesting penalising the players that looked at the situation and thought long-term and are only now due to be rewarded.

I'm supporting the idea that there's a flaw in the training system that is also poorly affecting the diversity of tactical choices occurring. Teams are developing into inside teams or outside teams. Some are to the point they can play both. Tactically, BB is growing into the equivalent of a coin flip.

I believe this outweighs the costs of making changes. It's not like this change won't affect me. I have the ability to create a strong inside our outside attack, and have positioned well to develop the rare SF's we're talking about. I've spent time training players out of position and have and currently benefit from it.
