it was created a few years after basketball. There is no backboard. You aren’t allowed to dribble and you’re only allowed to take one step after the catch. But you’re also not allowed to run, which would hurt a bit in the training for passing and off ball movement area.

If you’re wondering why there is almost no defense that’s because it is literally written in the rules that you can only block a shot if it will not result in obstructing or intimidating the opponent or coming within 3 feet of them.

You must also leave your hands down until you are far enough away to attempt a legal block.

So to block a shot you have to be on some Wilt Chamberlain shit, and jump straight up in the air, but gently tap it away or catch it because if you hit it too hard, the opponent may be intimidated. Those rules are how you get this as a top 8 plays of the season

get rid of the wacky defensive rules and let players run…. It would be a hell of a learning tool.

get open off the ball and cut or find a shot. You have to get off quickly or give the ball up without dribbling.

I win the Powerball I’m starting a 40 and up Americanized netball league and that shit is going to be poetry in motion.

There aren’t 7 posters on ISH who are capable of working together as a team.

I’ve been known to galvanize pretty eclectic groups and get them on the same page. I could get the team to mesh I suspect. The problem would probably be height. Men’s teams tend to be pretty tall So they can offer what little contest the game allows.

Wish there were courts here. It'd do wonders for shooters

The women seems quite attractive here. Why are they so ugly in the WNBA?

Netball is a good sport for women, it's what women should play, not basketball.

Nah…..you can’t really watch even highlights of people like Maya Moore and Diana Tarasi and say women shouldn’t even be playing

those are just basketball players. Maya especially. That’s a bucket. Can’t relegate her to taking 4 foot jumpers without defense.
