[QUOTE="Tommy_Taylor_1972, post: 984082, member: 6776"] MtnWasp makes a good point on how any player should react when catching the ball. Back in the day...Dean Smith was one of the originators of what was then called the passing game, now the motion offense, used by many colleges and pro teams. It is best simply described here at [URL]https://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/offense/north-carolina-motion-offense.html[/URL] . UNC under Smith produced not only many great point guards but forwards and centers. Each player had equal opportunity to do what they were able to do.
