Question
i love basketball i play everyday almost all day long. I'm a really good shooter but my problem is...I'm having problems driving into the basket when someone is guarding me..i seem to get blocked everytime, so now when i play games i just give up and just shoot the ball rather than driving it...any help? or tips?
Josh you seem to have the same issues as I did when I played basketball. I was just too short against my taller defenders to successfully drive into the basket. I would blocked 90% of the time. So I changed my game and became more of a shooting guard, and more of a defensive player. There are many other aspects to the game other than driving to the basket. Try to develop other parts of your game. Good Luck.

Expertise
My expertise is in the art of Officiating Basketball and I can answer questions pertaining to basketball rules; youth level through CIF High School, NCAA college and NBA rules as well. I can either help define a specific rule for you, or interpret a specific rule to clarify how other officials and I view and call the game.
Experience
I have been a Basketball Official now for over 19 years, officiating at all levels. I have attended numerous training camps throughout the years in an attempt to constantly become a better official. I have been evaluated by top Officiating organizations and I've had the honor of being selected to officiate at the highest levels including former Division 1 College and NBA players.
