Dodo birds and the post game

The 3-point shot has pretty well killed the post-up game in basketball, and what it might have left, One-and-done drafting by the NBA and ESPN Sports Center destroyed. After all, who ever made Sports Center by making a skillful entrance pass to the post?

There just is not much of a post up game any more in college basketball. Some would say good riddance, because the post-up game is "boring." I am not one of them, but the situation is what it is, so I had better get used to fullcourt pressing, dribble-drive offenses, and lot and lots of long-range shots, because that is about all college basketball has left. The post game has gone the way of the dodo bird.
