I would agree that he needs a personal trainer.

Randy Davis is a good coach and smart man but hes not an inside coach. I have seen Dorton make trips down the floor and Belter not touch the ball. If you got someone 6'9" and hes your best player..... hes got to touch the ball. Make them double team him and then kick the ball out to a team mate for a 3. That's what i would do but I'm not the coach.

It's funny that you see it that way, but I have heard several comments made from people inside and outside the team that Belter is the only one who shoots the ball because we throw it to him so much. If you were to ask any player on our team how many times per practice or game they hear, "when you have a guy 6'9" you have to get the ball inside", they'd tell you it's alot. If you have seen many games, most of our plays (inbounds and half court offense) center around getting Belter the ball. This summer he had 40+ points twice, and 30+ five times. The change from this year to next year will be almost as big as when we lost Elisha 4 years ago because we relied on that one player so much.

This team is as unselfish as any I've coached and they have no problem with Belter shooting 20+ shots because they want to win and they know that's our best chance. Our point guard gets little credit, but he will open some eyes this year with how much he has improved. His size will hurt him against certain teams who are longer/bigger, but he is a heady player who will sacrifice himself for the team every day of the week.

As far as the personal trainer, I think his brother will do that in the next couple of years. Belter already lifts weights fairly often, but at this stage it is hard for him to put on muscle. He is up to 218 lbs this season though so I think he will play a little stronger.
