training happens friday morning. You can switch your training as much as you like but whatever training happens friday morning is what your guys will actually learn with the trainer.

what u said about the Primary's or PF's and C's I think Driving should be there too because if your posts have liek Marvolus IS but no driving then its pretty Pointless. but if they had like Proficient IS and proficient Driving then i think that the player would be better

A number of the more quantitatively inclined buzzerbeater managers assert that for most big men in most offenses driving has almost no impact on their offensive abilities. I don't think I would go so far as to say it is useless (I think every skill has some use in this game) but my experience is that the difference on centres and power forwards between low driving and moderate driving (say pitiful to respectable) is not at all apparent. (in theory having a very high driving powerforward might do something, but I am unwilling to spend time trying it) Given the choice between an extra few levels in driving or putting them into another secondary or tertiary skill I would pick JS, handling, passing and even OD before I worried about driving.

And I would much, much rather have marvelous IS and pitiful DR on a centre than double proficient. No question about it.

I'd still go with Prolific/pitiful, particularly on a centre.
I really have never seen any evidence that driving makes much of a difference for big men, at least when they're paired with at least semi-competent guards who can get them the ball.

from a personal experience level, my PF right now has atrocious driving and hes scoring 21.5ppg and shooting 56.2%
hes getting to the FT line
dont see how driving has a big influence at all...

My PF has proficient driving and hes scoring 22.5 and shooting 61.1% and he sometimes get to the freethrow line
My C has awful driving and gets like 15.2 pts/game and 65.9% but he gets free throws less often as well
but i must say, these 2 stat lines arent really comparable since their GS changes from game to game and so does the amount of time they get to play.

I think driving on big men really depends on a few key things. Including the type of offense they are going to play in and the level of competion playing alongside them. I have a PF that has strong driving and I am likely going to try and up it a few more levels. I have found that he is very solid in outside based offence and for a player in the PF spot is very productive. The other big thing I have found is that he tends to create match up troubles with more 'mono skilled' bigs, part of this is attributed to his ability to create his own shots.

This is one of the beauties of BB everyone can create different players that preform differently. There is no right or wrong way to build quality players and sometimes thinking outside the conventional BB methods is well worth it.

He Could of gotten good passes that Lead him to the FT line. theres lots of ways to get to the FT line and i think driving is important because no Guards will always give a good pass the player needs to be able to make PTS for himself instead of Relying on a good pass. but there is nothing wrong with waiting for one its just that not every team is the same lvl of Defence on the Ball Handle and Defence on that Post.

I'm confused. Once Friday morning goes by, whatever I had training set on is what I will be training my players for, all week and all 3 games, regardless if I change it in the middle of the week. Correct? For example, if my training is on rebounds on Friday morning, and i switch my training to something else right before the game on Thursday I will still be training rebounds on that Thursday night game? Right???
