The team is made up from five players, two post players (main job to catch rebounds, short shots, inc layups and be ready for fast break.) Two gaurds (takeing furtherout shots, and assisting both post players and ball carrier.) Then there is the ball carrier (there main part is to 'carry' the ball down the court in order for the team to shoot.) Mrs. Vicki Cooper is quoted as saying,"You will miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Cooper is considered the best female basketball coach of all time.
