So in your opinion no look passes that result in dunks are a no-no? That's one reason Cal lands one of the best PGs every year, let's those guys play their style, which can lead to some turnovers but often includes highlight reel plays and momentum builders.

If you think that is even a top-50 reason why Cal lands top-ranked PGs year in and year out, then you are extremely naive. Go watch one UK practice and Cal would have eaten Harrison, Teague, Knight, or Wall's face off for that in practice.

If you encourage that type of play in practice, you can't berate it during a game when it results in a TO. If you discourage it in practice, then a PG thinks twice about it in a game in a critical situation when a standard pass will get the job done.

These guys will have plenty of fun playing largely uninhibited basketball, but this isn't the flipping Globetrotters. You have to pull the reins back on the hot dog plays two days into practice or it only progresses and gets more sloppy.

U r making another big assumption off of a quote.....no look pass can mean several different things....I have watched enough video of his teams to know he allows plenty of individual creativity.

just rolling with the stupidity that began with the first comment in regards to "so much for.."

What it must be like to watch a game and have no idea what's happening in the game of basketball on the practice field, off it, and on the court, has to be a blessing and a curse.

Except every great PG in history has done it. If you understand the situation and can pull it off, it's a good play as it draws the defense one way then you pass the other way.

Yeah your right but I think like
Others are saying Tyndall is focusing on fundamentals and that's not fundamental but you're right it's all situational

and there is no doubt you threw some bad ones and got benched from time to time.
It's a part of the game when you are rolling. When you have 4 returning players and some random dudes from all over, coach has to tighten it up early. You can always loosen.

I agree it's not fundamental at all, and my coach yelled at me daily for it. But he also understood I had to freelance a little, or I became a robot and wasn't as effective. Plus a smart PG knows when to throw it, and when not too. Late in games is a no no for sure.

Oh for sure and it's why I sat a lot of my freshman year. I was all flash and no substance. Then the first few games my sophomore year, I was too robotic. Coach told me to play my game but be smart about it. Once I figured out when to be "fancy" and when to be fundamental, I was alot better player for it. Some guys have to have a little playground to them to be effective, but it's a very fine line to walk.
