But why it is balanced focus when it is INSIDE isolation??? It has to be inside focus I think. Or the focus depends of the players which shoot - inside players or outside players?!

It is like real life I think. Coach can tell players - okay, inside isolation! But if the defence is well to defend you, you will not play inside isolation, you will start looking for player which can score. If he can score from inside, good for you.
I was playing bball for years and it happened million times - coach gave us tactics, but match was something different.

That would be the same for every tactic no?

Should be.

Should be.

No, I still dont see the logic why Inside Isolation is balanced focus. Every tactic then should be balanced because players make all kinds of shoots :) But the instructions of the coach are - INSIDE isolation.... I really still dont understand why this is balanced focus.

And you already have 3 types of balanced focus - basic attack, fast passing and patient. For me its a bug maybe Inside Isolation to be considered balanced focus???

How can I avoid my player or players to lose a stamina level? I have a 21 yrs old player last week in my training, I played him with the suggested training minutes BUT instead of upgrading the Trained Skils, he lost a stamina.

Just to look at the last game of this list.

Last season cup final in Georgia. Opponents all players are on TL, so we can have clear image of what type of players were fielded and how their skills "worked"
His PG position was defended by my SG. who had 16 OD, 20 HA/DR, 8 PA, 8/5 ID and RB if i remember correctly
His PG is 17-15 Js/JR/ 16/16 HA/DR 11IS. He goes 11/19 (58%) Fg and 5/9 (56%) 3pt.
His sg 17/16/ JS/JR, 18/19 HA/DR, 9 PA, 11 IS
He was defended by my pg with 20 OD, 12ID, lots of HA/DR. His SG went 7/14fg 4/8 3pts, 50% on both

My pgs 3pt % is little higher considering his range and my while my sg show well from 3pt line, he only shoe 3/10 on 2 pointers that is very bad considering his 26/20JS/JR and 20/20 HA/DR
My Sf goes 7/19 and 2/9 3 pts against 15OD and 12ID guy. Way better outside skills and IS than this guy. So very funny.
To sum it up, his starters (and Subs) OD by positions were:
Pg - 17 (6)
Sg - 18 (15)
Sf - 15 (18)
Pf - 8 (8)
C -7 (8)
He played 2-3 zone. My OS was almost wondrous, his OD was barely strong, difference almost 6 levels. My starters on all positions had JS more than enough, at least equal or better than his players OD, also my sg had 26/20 JS/JR, 20/20 Ha/DR and my substitution for pg/sg/sf positions was a guy also with 20+ JS, 12 JR and at least 25/25 HA/Dr. My players shot almost same % as my opponent. 16/35 (45%) 3pts while I had 2 guys with 20OD with 1/1 defense and he still went 12/27 (44%) on 3pts.
The most strange thing was on Sf/PF positions. I had very good players on both positions, comparing to his SF/PF players my guys were almost twice as better both in outside and inside offensive skills vs his outside and inside defenses. Gap between PFs was even waaaay bigger. Considering what i know about Princeton tactics, sf and especially pf position is very crucial, and my pf (whos is primarily pg/sg) had a very suitable offfensive skillset for that position. Still, he shot only 9 shots (compared to his opponent pfs 13 shots, who is more like PF/C built). And again my sf 7-19 and 2/9 3pts (also his sub) doesnt make also sense against his defenses. On all positions I had more PPP100 other than C. (on this position my c also outclassed his opponent on every Inside skill and still shot 33% to his 50%). Only "advantage" was his attitude, but i had more enth level since i only played 1 (max 2) regular season games on normal level and he did more than that, also in cup semis he played CT while i used normal.
