When I thought about this (another great point Marcus) first I thought it was just the kids trying to “collapse” the lane because they’re told to but staying there too long and unnessessarily. I thought soon they’ll get comfortable with Nelson and their assignments.

But yes, they ALL do it, even the vets.

And it seems to be our vets who don’t have that part of a complete game, figuring out when to collapse the lane and when to fan out and commit the right space to getting out to the shooter.

I think the kids may turn out better at this trait in the long run.

And like was said, it’s not like they’re DOING anything other than showing towards the lane, so why not always be able to get to the shooter?

Nelson should, with time, at least improve this.

How prophetic your words in light of the collapse at the very end of the Indiana game. Why can’t Nellie correct another major defect that may cost us a playoff berth?

Marcus, perfect assessment… “You produce what you fear”…Nelson threatening to bench players if they miss freethrows creates, duh, missed freethrows…Recommend they all read “Zen Golf” that would help them get in the right frame of mind before they get to the stripe!
