This Month's Topic: Getting the shorter (defensive) player back in the game.

Picture from VB Monthly Jan. 1998
Over the years, many aspects of the game has changed. With players averaging about 6'7", the games has become more of a freak show rather than a game of ball control. The players gain strength, grow taller, and even obtain 40" verticals when the guy is 6'9" 240 lbs. Some of the smaller players have no chance to compete in a high level when giant rule the court. Is there no way for smaller players to show action in the offense? Or have the big boys become so well trained that there is not even room for small players for defensive purposes? What do you think are some of the things that could be done to get the smaller players more involved in a big man's game?

Please mail me your response.
