[QUOTE="tarponeer2003, post: 132343494, member: 1117324"] The worst passing team I have seen in many, many years. I think Huggins is holding up "STOP" signs in practice, encouraging a type of hesitant offense run in grade school play. Stop and look. Stop and look. Swing it around and around, instead of teaching the art of passing, crisp, quick, lookaway, bounce, chest. All practically non-existent on this team. Passing is THE FOUNDATION of offense. The great Boston Celtic Bob Cousy once had 19 assists in one half of a game, a record that still stands decades after his legendary career ended. Cousy dished out 6,955 assists in a Celtic uniform. The Magic Man, Magic Johnson, piled up an astounding 10,141 assists during his phenomenal playing career. 10,141 assists!! Talk about the art of passing. Unreal. Our own Jerry West, known more for his scoring skills and his 27-point career average in the NBA, piled up over 7,000 assists in his storybook pro days. He definitely knew how to distribute the roundball. How many games could this team have won if good passing skills had been in place? How many more points could have been scored if the open man had been hit with a nice, sharp pass. Answer: Many. Result: Victories. Passing A Basketball for Beginners should be mandatory in the practice sessions conducted by Bob Huggins. [/QUOTE]
