Maybe I shouldn't have said anything as somebody tried to poach a center away from me that was considering only me.
May end up with a walkon anyways as I have a little too much money in him to let him go.

Ignore practice minutes to any skill less than 30, unless it is a primary skill (bh for a guard or rb for a center) - this is especially true for DEF
so if a skill is at say 24, it doesnt pay to give it any practice time at all? How long before it dwindles down to nothing. and you say that is esp true for DEF..isnt DEF good?
and just to make sure i have this theory right...0 (ZERO) time at LP/RE for guards and 0 (ZERO) practice time at PE/P/BH for Big Men?

this is great advice, i agree with pretty much everything. I think that minutes work better, but im certainly not a veteran coach. Do you think that i am not letting my team get to their full potential?

It'll definitely help, yanks. FW imrpoves both defense and shotblocking (does it still improve LP?)...but both of them at a very slow pace. If you want a good defensive team, the best thing to do is to recruit for it...you're not going to recruit a poor defensive player and then make him a good one with practice (IQ notwishstanding) like you can with some of the other skills. By no means am I suggesting you punt FW, just don't expect any drastic improvements.
