[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1299299, member: 4069"] There's a ton of skill development videos out on the web that address player development or skill deficiencies, should you care to look around. You need very detailed metrics to tell you what to work on, or drills that reveal an underlying metric. Usually it's a coach that sees what needs work because they will notice in the absence of a metric. For example, if a PG loses the ball 50% more often when they go low through traffic with their left hand, a coach will come up with drills to work on it, and perhaps in the short term, try and change his decision making. A player that's slow to recognize a double team in the post will likewise get drills to work on, etc.. Drills will in turn reveal problems. Then there's the issue of whether the drill translates to game situations (one of my personal pet peeves). You need a coach who can simulate game conditions in drills, or the player winds up good at a drill, and not good when the lights are on. We've certainly had a few of those under previous coaches. Metrics like the one you mention might be good for predicting scores when a player is injured, but I don't see how it points a player to what he has to do in the gym. [/QUOTE]
