Run and gun is great for a team full of athletes (ie Lexington Catholic 1990s). "Slow down" ball is played by great "teams" who move the ball well, play together, and have a good post player for the inside game. I think teams today should be able to play both ways. It can cause match up problems with teams who are just one style or the other. Slow down ball should not be extinct, it shows the kids how to actually play the game. Not how to "out athlete" other teams!!!

Well said. It all boils down to if a team has an inside man that they can utilize, then they are more prone to slowing the ball down. On the otherhand, a team full of athletes will more than likely push the ball down the floor and go with a more uptempo style of play.
