The poppa wants to send a message to all. Get serious about your basketball forum. If you want to unwind then take a yoga class if your job is stressing you out. Or maybe try meeting a female or two. Good luck and let's clean up this board!

Hey Poppa, you come on this board out of nowhere and start preaching. My question...who are you? What is your extensive basketball knowledge. I guarantee you this...there are probably at least 10 posters on this board who have proven they understand hoops (if not more) and the others either enjoy the board for what it's worth, or are learning more and more each day about basketball and recruiting. What, may i ask is your beef? If you don't like the board then don't come around.

However, if you want to talk X's and O's, offer up something decent. If not, stash the hyperbole!

Well said. Let us know Poppa what you consider proper basketball discussion.

>You gotta love guys like "The Poppa" who come out of the woodwork and spew garbage and then have the nerve to tell this forum to "clean up this board". "The Poppa"....you aren't the cure you are the problem.

OK....The poppa understands everyones feelings and would like to put a question out there for people with real basketball IQ's. The poppa would like to know what would you do if your best player is a guard and the team you are playing against goes box and 1 on him. Do you run your man stuff or run your zone stuff? Do you let him sit in the corner and try to beat the box by attacking gaps off the dribble, or do you run him off screens and make it a deliberate point just to get him the ball taking everyone else out of the flow?

I don't have a real Basketball IQ in fact my wife thinks I'm "Brain Dead"!!!!!
Your question sounds simple but is really very complexed.
What you do is based on the abilities of the other 4 players.
But just for a quick possibility if it's a straight Box and 1 you might start him on the foul line and run some straight zone stuff like you were facing a 2-3 zone or if it's a Diamond and 1 run you 1-3-1 stuff.
If your one player is an awesome player and your supporting staff sucks you run some man stuff with a lot of screens.
When you write the hypothetical you have to realize the answers is usually complex. If the answer were simple no one would Box and 1 on you.
As you enter the season with one good player you better spend a lot of time preparing to get shots for that player.
