[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1058517, member: 17953"] I've always been intrigued as to how the Euro game has evolved. It's become competitive to a lot of NBA teams because they use more players in various roles, and it creates an environment where a lot of different players can step up and lead on any given day. In fact, the NBA has adopted a lot of the principles for themselves. Colleges spend way too much time concentrating on having one or two big time scorers and having the rest of the team sit back and watch them play the game. Last year was the epitome of what's wrong with that system, watching Hepburn eat up clock to throw up a desperation shot or Storr taking poor shots because he was expected to shoot every time he got the ball. Teamwork wasn't of any importance in how Gard was playing them. Reality was players like Essegian were poorly used along with Crowl. It took well into this season before Crowl could break out of the box that Gard had put him in, even though Gard wanted it to happen earlier. Gard needed to light a fire under him, not just talk about it. It was 12 games down before it happened. We can thank Penney for it because he created the environment for it to happen with the implementation of the two bigs system teaming with Winter. It freed up opportunities for Crowl. I'm afraid you're right about us losing Penney. The guy is someone with a bright future ahead of him. I hope it ends up with the Badgers. [/QUOTE]
