or they did have exactly same skills but one was 6'6 and the other 5'9.

the point is that the same skill level in this game means that they are equally good - they are grabbing the same number of rebounds in the same rebounding situations. However, it also means it is much easier for the giant to improve, while the dwarf might never climb higher than his initial respectable Rebounding...

I wish I would have known how to better manage my Enth. Once I fugured that out I started winning. Even when I was the underdog.

Wish I would have known to better train. I started by getting young and then I had way to many trainees. This is the most common mistake I see by young managers.

We've all access to game manual, so you don't have to repeat their rebounding example over and over again. Either you haven't read my post or I wasn't very clear. My point was that in the real world 6'6-6'8 guys are the superstars, not 5'9 or 7'6 guys. and if you take time to train a 6'6 guard in his OUTSIDE skills to a decent level, you'd think he'll dominate a 5'9 guy or any other shorter match up with the SAME skills, because of his height (and even longer limbs) just like in the real world. But it's not the case on BB, and you're better off training a 5'9 guy, which will take half the time.
and I wish I knew that from the start.

Height is irrelevant during games. The only purpose of height is for training.

Rebounding skill is a measure of the ability to grab a rebound all taken into account.
Deciding between equally skilled players at rebounding by height is a misunderstanding of the game mechanics.

I wish I knew about proper enthusiasm management. I started in mid-season 11 and crunch timed my last regular season game after playing normal in every prior game. I would have promoted a season earlier with better management so that was very regrettable. Nowadays my management took a 180 and it's pretty much equally bad, just in the other direction obviously. And now it's unjustifiable.

I could rattle off a long list of some of the greatest rebounders, and only a few are over 7'.


DeJuan Blair from the Spurs pretty much sums this up completely. His rebounding skills are great DESPITE his lack of height. Height plays a part in determing a person's rebounding skills - if a person is smaller, yet has far better rebounding skills he will out-rebound the less skilled player every day of the week.

The same goes for guards... a player's height may affect their jump shot or ball handling skills, but player's with exceptional jump shot skills are stil going to shoot a high percentage reagrdless of whether the 7' guy has a hand in his face or not... due to his great skills, not size (or lack thereof).

The greatest rebounder of all time, Dennis Rodman, was a mere 6'7. The notion that larger players should outrebound smaller ones generally isn't true. Size helps, of course, but it's only a tiny part of the story.
