what i think bb charles is saying is

if you train a guard in rebounding you dont get results the same as centers and pf

why

1) height factor - you cant win on a frequent basis going against inside battling bigf men for a rebound, so its not wise for a guard wanting a reb to go inside and bang bodies with the big fellows.

same goes as training, as much as height is a factor, i think his jumping ability ( i always thought that jump range has this factor). but for the guards i only see one player that is succesful in this and that is jason kidd. because he knows how to position himself especially for the long rebounds.

but either than him there aint much to say strong guards that can reb on a regular basis. so training a guard in rebounding or will be slow because the environment doesnt gove much of edge, whether he learns to position or jumps high remember the guard will exert more effort than the big men.

=================================================================

the hardest to train of all position is the sf, because you got to have almost all the set of skills since he will be the most of who will adjust to the game playing inside and out.

its really how you mix it up!

Charles, is this the official 3d to ask a BB something?

No...start a new one. Keep this one focused. ;)

i think i've to wait for an answer from Charles ^_^

That is the problem with linking training with playing time, but that is how BB is set up.

It isn't much different than telling LeBron that he can't start half of the time because you want someone else to also train ("I know you are by far our best player, but you've already played 48 minutes this week - go sit down").

i would love to know what type of games you watch. Some team put their point guard in the post when they feel they have an advantage to post up a smaler or weaker player. And jthe bucks once player the starting backourt in the post and had their big men shoot the thee. As a coach you should have freedom on how to train your players. If you have a 6"6 point gaurd why cant he post up someone who is 6"3. If a team wants to go small and out run me why cant i go big and post them up.

I played college ball and was a shooting guard and i practiced in the post. Not as much as our centers but if needed in a game i could post up the other team 2 guard and our centers worked on dribbling and shooting but not as much sas me. Its a common thing in training. Any good coach trains all his players in everything until it is obvious that he cant do something and then you do it a bit to keep him from getting worse.
