WHY IS IT THAT....

Watched a great high school tourney game last night and noticed a handful of teaching moments...

Why is it that most inbounding teams, especially if being pressed, will waste a lot of energy (and show their hand) jockeying for position back and forth with their opponent...BEFORE the ref ever hands the ball to the inbounder?

Why is it that players always try and save the ball as it's going out of bounds... under their OPPONENT'S basket?

Why is it that players want to dribble out of a trap situation (double or triple team) instead of passing out of the trap where their team will have an obvious numbers advantage?

Why is it that so few players truly understand the proper use of speed?  Playing at one speed makes you easy to guard.

Why is it that when a defender turns their head (eyes) away from their man, their man doesn't take advantage of that and move to get open, but instead just stands there?
