Somewhere in my post in my post I said "today or what they could be?" That question is not difficult. Are you wanting to discuss spacing and ball handling separate or considering Trey and Caleb today...or what they could be? Or have you never improved kids or seen them improve. Do you have a number for spacing and can that differ against man or zone? I'm always willing to learn more and that is what makes forums great. Sometimes somebody says something that makes you pause and so tell me the ceiling for Trey and Caleb in one year if they pursue a goal of improving in areas. I know a guy that talked about having a bit more room against any press and that person mentioned he like spacing, but maybe he doesn't know what it is? Is there a certain space that a person doesn't go find his man to block out...or is that space dependent on the offensive player? I know I've read about it somewhere...somebody has mentioned spacing, but I don't know what it is for sure. Is spacing the gap people talk about between a screener and the person getting screened when two or three things could cause that? There was another poster that talked about spacing on defense and so it gets so confusing. Is it true that spacing is important on O and D...that's what some people are saying?
Anyway, I tried to not put a limit on what a person could do if they wanted to do it. I'm glad I'm not coaching them since I would be wasting my time thinking players could develop and now that I know I think I'll tell a coach that I know that is still coaching who continually asks Matt what things a player he has (soph) needs to improve since he values Matt's opinion, but he is wasting his time thinking players can grow their game. Matt probably already knows what the Purdue players will be like next fall since he usually makes his lineup at the first of October
