What I've Learned This Year

I have learned many ideas and concepts this year, and I would like to share a few.  First of all, i have come to the realization that in College Basketball it is impossible to be successful without a good point guard.  In college it is so important to have someone who settles everyone down, and starts up the offense every play.  If you take a look at the past NCAA champions you can see the trend in point guards.  2011 had Kemba Walker from Uconn, 2010 had Nolan Smith from Duke, and 2009 had Ty Lawson out of UNC.  I feel that point guard is easily the most important position if a team wants to be successful in college basketball.  Something else I realized is that coaching is incredibly important.  Sometimes it is easy to forget that these athletes are mostly 18-22 years old, and need proper guidance from their coach.  If you look at teams from last year's tournament, such as VCU and Butler, it seems like their players thoroughly respect their coach and that translates to their success.
