(DeRozan!)
"""
DeRozan is symptomatic of a broader conflict in the cultural vocabularies available to us to make sense of basketball, and sport more generally, today.
Note the language I have used in this introduction, in DeRozan’s praise we see comments on his style – cunning, guile, playmaking, footwork – and descriptive statistics. In criticism of him, we see more advanced statistical terminology – plus/minus, true shooting percentage, efficiency of shots. In short, the latter perspective bears the mark of ‘analytics’, the use of increased quantification and statistical logic to understand sport. In this paper, I am going to explore how the increased entrance of analytics into basketball is, in effect, the latest spread of the logic of modernity into cultural life

[!!!**→] FISCULURE— Protein instructions

* need 0.8g per kg weight, but up to 2g if building up
* need to consume within half-hour after workout, to assist recovery
* otherwise, you loose muscles!

_________

casein shakes!
"""
A casein protein shake is often recommended for pre-bedtime consumption because it digests more slowly than other protein sources, providing a steady release of amino acids throughout the night. Casein protein is found in dairy products such as milk and yogurt, so you could consider blending a casein protein powder with milk or yogurt to create a bedtime shake.

(!) Some tactics & strategies make no/less/more sense, given the level of the players
    ↓
    In example, direct hand-offs are more effective in beginner teams
    As in offense
        you won't get reliable pass opportunities
        you won't pass reliably
    Direct hand offs give you a way to
        disarray their defense
        free up for an easier pass

* SPACING
"""
Spacing:
    Maintain proper spacing on offense to open up passing lanes and driving lanes.
    Spread out across the court to make it harder for defenders to guard you and to create opportunities for open shots.
"""

A) pick players aggressively on their side of court
    (—) more intense (than just a stroll over to defense positions)
    (+) can force longer/bad passing
B) maintain proper spacing
    fixed//improvised switches


* PASSING / TEAMPLAY
    (A black-shirt guy / pretty low level / didn't pass to me.)
        ↓
        A) Talk to him → didn't work
        B) EQUAL PASSES → Tell him on team level
        C) ASK SUPERIORITY → Teammate asking is a superiority
        D) AGREED//COMPETITIVE SUPERIORITY → Whoever is voted up/scores more/###
        C) Some other pass sysem

    DESIGN MORE GAMES

______________________________

concepts:
    * 2 shooters, 1 rebounder behind hoop:
        * can/should be competitive:
            shooter vs shooter
            shooters vs rebounder
            ###
        * rebounder runs
        * shooters:
            A) move around perimeter, position can indicate how well they are competing:
                "graduating on semi-fixed position with hits, losing with pure misses"
            B) freely move, just take it easy
            C) 
    * everyone goes in circle, shoots and rebounds
    * all shooters choose preferred level of defense:
        A) no defense
        B) mild attacks
        C) full on 3-dribble games
    * should be easy to upgrade rules in realtime:
        without stopping!
        "live patching"
    * people need to basically agree on:
        * intensity level
        * enjoy the competitive level
        * ... all of above must work parallel
    * BUT:
        this is not "just throwing on the hoop", because you'd want to do specific things with people
        and you want to have a framework for doing so

[!!**f] >VIBER/3x3— "Is this a travel?"

"""
I receive the pass (both hands) and jump to shoot, but abandon the shot and land on both feet. Is that a travel?

No, it’s not a travel. In 3x3 basketball, as in regular basketball, you can receive the ball, jump, and then land on both feet simultaneously without it being considered traveling. Since you didn’t release the ball for a shot and didn’t pivot or take any additional steps after landing, this move is legal.

[!!**] DEFENSE— Stopping perimeter drives (not being over-ran)

(next: write up better)

"""
You’re not stopping the drive. You’re choosing which bad option they get.
Force left → they’re slower, see less, pass worse.
(...)
Hands quiet, chest loud
  • Reaching invites blow-bys
  • Chest + angle forces the left-hand pickup
(...)
BAIT FOR CONTACT
When they still try to go right
That’s your win condition:
  • They’re now driving into contact
  • You slide once, then second bump
  • Ref sees them initiating → offensive foul or bad shot
