Tales from practice

So two things here.  One, I guess they were running a fast break drill, and in the drill the point guard was furthest back, there were two wings and one post player that was closest to half court to start (makes sense because on a break most of the time the post players are close to mid court...).  The formation proceeds to the front court and the point guard I guess throws it into the lane to the post player with the wings going to the 3 point line (this at least makes sense).  Fast forward to the next day and in a game situation a break occurs (except now there is no post in front of everyone, weird), well the wings go to the 3 point line and now the coach tells them they are wrong.  They should have went to the paint first.  Which is correct, but in the drill the previous day the wings were stopping at the 3 point line, so.... what are trying to accomplish with these drills? 

Two, a player gets the ball swung to them at the 3 point line, player takes the shot.  Coach "that is a horrible shot".  Now we are teaching kids that open 3 points shots after a swing is bad shot?  He was supposed to throw it in the post.  And I wonder why we are 1-3 in the last 3 post seasons.
