Coach's Corner: Starting Centers

Dennis Hans says in this article "Starting centers merit more minutes" that the modern center’s constant struggle to avoid foul trouble has little to do with the modern game of basketball and proposes four common sense changes:

1) Make non-brutal illegal screens a loss-of-possession violation, like traveling. ...
2) Quit treating intentional fouls as if they were non-intentional. ...
3) Give each team one “foul coupon.” ...
4) Make it a loss-of-possession violation (not a foul) for a low-post player to back, buttwhack or low-shoulder his way into the lane. ...

And I think that in order to recognize the importance of the tall men´s work we must reach the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis and read the chapter of the opponents errors forced by our tall men and the block shots which ends in our baskets on the other side of the court. Tall men are not as spectacular as the guards, but remember the last post with the 'Seven Feet Theory': teams with small players are more spectacular and quick, play funny basketball and may reach the top... but the winners are teams with tall men.
