Now we play NZ in 1/4, the winner goes to world cup. Very tough task..

I am watching the iran league I wonder where are our young players.Originally posted by PSGman#19 View Post
Damn our players are so weak on 3pts, even sometimes on 2 pts. The best ratio come from a black American. Wtf iranian does, they should spend every day training on 3 and 2 pts from every positionComment

They need proper training on proper shooting. Also, to have success in shooting you also need quick release which is rare in an Iranian player.Originally posted by PSGman#19 View PostComment

It doesn't seem to be the most difficult thing to improve even without the proper shooting.Originally posted by shahin2000 View Post
With a low 2 and 3pts ratio, how can we hope something in basketball?

This is not something that can be addressed at the senior level, at least for a quick fix. You need to instill proper foundation at the youth level. When I am playing pick-up ball at a rec center, I see how kids with the help of grown ups (albeit a coach, parent etc..) go through various shooting drills. We need that kind of foundation in our youth program in Iran. Look at what the splash brothers (Steph and Klay) did to NBA. Everybody, including their cousins, are taking threes and with an incredible accuracy. You are no longer seeing many back to the basket (post-up) plays anymore. You see everybody can handle the rock (whether you a PG, SG or even a center). Back in the day it would be comedic to see a center dribble the ball down the court.Originally posted by PSGman#19 View Post
So you can see there are many areas of the game that Iran is unfortunately light years behind other countries. We were lucky enough to witness an interesting time in our TM with Hamed's arrival in early 2000s and other players. That moment is gone and we have not been able to replace that talent. The only way to replace and replenish is by proper foundation. We need proper coaches coaching at all levels. I don't live in Iran so I can't tell you what the structure looks like. Given the way the 2 most popular sports are handled (football and wrestling), I am fairly certain that lack of foundation is even worse for basketball.Comment

I attended a french league game with Mohammad Amini playing. Showed some good things but was expecting much more from him.Comment

Horrendous coaching by our foreign coach. Very poor time management. Iran lost to World Select V (Qatar).

Slow, low efficiency, turnovers.Originally posted by Nokhodi View Post
How can professional players miss so much free throw??
I feel I saw the same players falling and falling again!Comment

Amini was the one who messed up at the end. He's young and plays in Europe. It happens. Need to go back to scouting the whole country for good players again.Originally posted by PSGman#19 View PostComment

Yes I was disappointed by him after all the hype and being legionnaire but at least he is young.Originally posted by Nokhodi View Post
Our local league is filled with old bald or fat guys, I don't know wtf is this geriatric obsession.
Some of our young prospects were hyped by the NBA without border thing but are nowhere to be seen in the league.Comment
