Should college athletes be getting paid for what they do? That itself is a million dollar question. For the purpose of this paper, I am going to focus on division one basketball players. It’s really an opinionated topic. A lot of people think that they should be paid and a lot of people believe that they should not be paid. The NCAA has plenty of money to pay division one basketball players and these players have plenty of reasons why they should be getting paid. They train harder than any…

In the…

Basketball shooting has become a lost art in all levels of basketball. Just turn on a college or professional game to see the number of free throws or open shots that are missed badly. Surely if the best players in the world are missing shots then the lower levels are getting worse. How can this be you might ask? With all the technological advances, scouting, video analysis, and all the basketball shooting drills shouldn’t players be improving instead of regressing? Why Less is More In…

Not only helps improve someone's communications skills, you are exercising while playing the sport, and basketball helps with everyday stress. Firstly, basketball is a team sport; which means you would have to communicate a lot with your teammates.

Before we get into the analysis of Coach Dale’s leadership skills, I’d first like to provide a plot summary to give a better support framework. Basketball Coach, Norman Dale, was previously thrown out of coaching college basketball for hitting one of his players. After his termination, he went on to serve in the Navy for ten years. Now he’s given the opportunity to coach basketball in a small town in Indiana. Basketball is everything at Hickory High, and the community can’t quite understand why…
