"Eventually Poor Guard Play Will Catch Up With Every Middle & High School Team"

Why do the majority of middle and high school teams only have 1 to 2 really good ball handlers on the team when the majority of the team  is made up of mostly perimeter players (guards)? This is a shame and players who play on the perimeter (guards) must be held more accountable for their actions and they must learn to take on more ball handling responsibilities. Having 1 to 2 dribblers on a team isn't enough to make it through the entire season less known deep into the play-offs.

Watching teams who do not have an adequate amount of talented ball handlers on the team who can see the court, make good decisions, read defenders before they pass the ball and those who can  make plays by penetrating the lane, makes the game hard to watch.

And in many cases, these same players only want the ball when they play against non-aggressive defenders. Most are intimidated by aggressive defenders.

It's never too late to improve your ball handling skills, however, it takes commitment, dedication, self drive, and the willingness to change (THE WANT TOO FACTOR).
