hurl insults.


Dork. (Kidding, of course).

(warning - I think this will subscribe you to BB Global)


No, BB doesn't automatically subscribe you to forums you merely visit and post in.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Thanks for the tip. I remember it used to do that in HT and didn't know what happened here.

By the way, you're making me want to re-subscribe to the "BB-Charles sucks" Federation. Or start my own... Maybe I'll call it "Juicepats can't keep his pants on". ;-)

Use a training rotation

You have to be careful of skills that get really high in comparison to the other main skills for the player's position. For example, if you are training a PG and you push his outside d to 13 while leaving the rest of his guard skills at 7. First: this type of player will not be as good as a player with more balance. But the second point is that it is also not an efficient training program. Once his outside d gets up it will start to train slower than the rest of his skills. The reverse can be said for a skill that is much lower than the rest of the skills for his position. So, for example, a C with high inside d, inside shot and shot blocking but atrocious rebounding will train faster in rebounding.

Also, I have seen some people focus on one skill for half a season, then switch to another skill. Again, I have to emphasize that this is slightly less efficient than a training program that rotates training every 2-3 weeks.


I even learned something, I have heard this somewhere before, but i was never certain about it and I never really thought about it when i was training my players. Thanks for putting so much time into this Chuck, It took me pretty long just to read it all! :P Thanks

Thanks for putting so much time into this Paulo,



I'm not sure Paulo would be comfortable taking credit for this. ;-)

Added a piece on height and having good staff to train players. I can't believe I left that out.

I modified the text to say that jump range is inefficient (maybe even ineffective) to train past prominent. Actually, just about every experienced user I talked to agreed with RIP on this one.

So you see, even I learned something from this exercise.

Fantastic work, Chuck. That is some awesome advice and a great summary...it will be a nice reference to look back on multiple times to refresh my memory whenever I am in doubt about something. Anyway we can have it "stickied" so it is at the top of the Canada forum for easy reference for all folks interested in training for the U21 team (as well as just training in general)?

Regarding the jump range debate, BB-Charles has said that the theory outlined to me by RIP, Jbmcrock, harfang and some other anonomus GMs is just not true. I guess you will have to make up your own mind, unless Charles offers more specifics: (112418.21).

Wow! My bad, I am so used to Paulo being the U21 manager, My bad! I am not used to writing too much to you Chuck, hopefully that will change soon enough.
