Well, its hard for me to really comment on that, as I dont watch the Euroloeague. But, I will say this, from watching other sports at different levels. Compare say MLS soccer to EPL soccer. So, EPL has better players, clearly, no one denies that. If you have watched both, you will notice a stark contrast in play styles. Why, might you ask? Because of the quality of players. I believe the same thing is happening here.

This is really a wrong comparison.Because MLS is worse than EPL or the other main soocer leagues in Europe not only because of the level of players,but also because the level of the coach

To be authorized to coach a MLS team,you need to do a couse of study that last few days.In Italy,to coach an amateur team you need to do a 5 week course,and to train a team in the first two divisions(Serie A and Serie B),you need to earn other two licenses,that require 16 week both,every license two year after you earn the previous

That's why,also if the level of players is improving,american soccer remains a low level soccer.You don't need Messi o Cristiano Ronaldo to play a decent soccer level,what MLS lacks is the technical formation to reach the european leagues

I just looked at your coach examples, funny you would pick 3 of the worst current NBA coaches and compare them against coaches who have all won euroleague titles and are considered some of the best euroleague coaches ever....quite a comparison.....I could compare your examples to the 5 best NBA coaches ever and which coaches would look poor then? Try not to cherry pick stats for your argument, thanks!

You said that the best coach are in the NBA,right?There is a small group of great coaches in the NBA,as Pop,PHil Jackson/Tex Winter(you can't imagine Phil Jackson witouth triangle offense!),George Karl,Scott Skiles,SVG and so on,the main part of NBA coaches doesn't have the skills and the experience of the best european coaches,where their techincal e tactical education has processes similar to the soccer coaches education

I guess why I think NBA coaches are better is because, they coach the best players in the world, which most typically means the teams are closer together in terms of talent than in other leagues.

There is not logical correlation between these two facts.Erik Spoelstra coach better players than Scott Skiles,but I think anyone consider Spoelstra better then Skiles,until he proves it

I point out that in NBA you don't need any kind of test about basketball knowledge,while in europe you need it,so while there are great coaches both in europe and in NBA,to coach at lower level in NBA you don't have to prove before your skilss,while in europe, you have to do it

2) The players do not play perfect strategy, and intentionally so. This is part of the role of experience, something that is often undervalued in BB but matters quite a lot at the end of games. In this case, your guard thought he had an uncontested layup, but he was wrong; he was not blocked by his primary defender, but by a help defender he didn't notice.

Note also that inexperienced players have a tendency to overestimate how good their shot attempts truly are. Rookies...*bah*


All right,but my guard has 5 in experience,is he the only stupid but experienced player of the BB world?


The last action...I would understand if my players lose the ball because they had only 5 or 6 second and they could give difficult thing to find a shot...but 20 seconds are enough to build a shot,at least a forced shot from any part of the field.It's not like my player turns off the ball...he simply didn't shot because he don't like to win?


The opposing team played quality defense and did not allow a good shot attempt. Would you take a bad shot with 10 seconds on the clock if you expect that continuing to run your offense is likely to produce a better one? That's a low percentage play, if so. The players on the court thought they'd get a better opportunity later in the clock. Turns out, they were wrong. Players sometimes make poor choices, especially less experienced ones. And especially with an inexperienced point guard trying to get everybody in the right place.

The game engine has a lot of code in there, so it's often wrong to attribute to oversimplification what you can instead attribute to complexity.



They were not trying to force a shot in the last 3 seconds,after losing over 15 second doing nothing on the field?Mah

I wouldn't call a player with experience 5 particularly experienced.
