Not that it's a huge deal, but that would decrease how tall he looks. i don't see a knee but i see a wide stance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachv Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 dgambill, you look confused. let's try another way. let's say you have 2 kids who are 6'6" one plays in shoes that have a half inch sole and the other plays with shoes that are 1 and 1/2". that doesn't make player 2 an inch taller. it makes his shoes an inch taller. how bout we measure the players without shoes, and then measure his shoes separately and list that instead of "with shoes". then when he changes shoes, we can just change that measurement. otherwise some smart guy is going to show up on measuring day with 1.5" soles and 1.5" lifts and measure 6'9" instead of his true 6'6".

You ask why they measure you in shoes and that is why because it is how tall you are while playing. You go to the doctor they measure you and weigh you in your close and shoes on.

Anyone with any knowledge knows that athletes always get measured with shoes on. Should they? Well I guess that doesn’t matter because that’s not the way that it’s done by any program.

5fouls Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Everyone should go home and shoot some baskets in their driveway in just their birthday suit. Very liberating. Personal record in those conditions is 27 out of 30 at the line. Best in traditional basketball attire is only 25 out of 30. Never tried it with high heels but will do so tonight and report back.
