Is this the John Amaechi method?

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

yourmomma posted an outside skill rotation, I think.

I've posted my rotation here many times, no secrets:

2 weeks Inside Shot
2 weeks Inside Defense
2 weeks Rebounding
2 weeks Shot Blocking
1 week Stamina/Free Throws (usually Stamina)

It can be considered defensive in a way, but I strongly believe in balanced training - that's what you need to have to get the most out of your training.

I don't allow myself to be held hostage to pops. If a guy doesn't pop after two weeks, oh well, we move on to the next skill.

Right now I'm planning on doing an outside rotation like this:

4 wks - jump shot
4 wks - jump range
4 wks - outside defense

then the three off weeks I'll do free throws and stamina

then i'll do another rotation for the next season of:

4 wks - handling
4 wks - driving
4 wks - passing

So I guess it's actually a 2 season rotation. Does that look ok to anyone? Or is it rediculously unpractical? Do I need to shorten the rotations down to less than 4 weeks for each skill?

I think you're better off with 2 weeks for each skill.

Remember that the goal isn't just to get pops, as every training raises that player's skill.

Playoffs can be used for training.

are the mono skilled players performing better than the more rounded ones??

my training is always to try and raise the worst necessary skill out of the 4 trainees i have.....after a few weeks i thought my players would have obtained more pops but having switched almost every week to something new i just hope that they have decent sublevels.....i find it strange that my double/treble strongs have less salary than my guy who has no strongs (although a lot of respectables)

will see how this changes after the next salary update....

has anyone got in mind yet the sort of player they are trying to create?

ie.

PG with Wondrous Handling/Passing, Tremendous Driving etc,,,,

As I imagine by age 22-24 training will slow down or you wil perhaps switch back to 18-19yo how would an ideal player look (if you allocate say another 6-8 pops per season.)

Don't quote me this as dead-set truth, but I think that salaries for well-balanced players, say, a triple-strong, are designed to be lower than mono-skilled behemoths, say, having one Sensational, to encourage balanced training.

understood so similar to HT when a double outstanding is valued less than a brilliant for wage purposes... what about performance??

i dont mind paying the wages if the output is worth it!!

I'd rather have a balanced-skill player in BB 8 days a week.
