I always felt that Sloan was a great coach, but when it came to the three point shot he was old school and coached the game as he believed it ought to be played (in a world where no three point line existed) rather than how it was actually played. He never seemed to understand the effect that the three point line had on the game, either on offense or defense. I think you may be doing the same thing. The purist in you says that you are somehow going to recognize who the best possible team should include, but you are refusing to acknowledge that you are playing your game on a court that has a built in bias (positive or negative) toward certain players.
