Head coaches would lose their heads watching the tallest guy on the floor throwing up ill-advised shots. They would rather see them posting up or camping inside the paint. You could even say that big men who were fond of shooting long-range shots often found themselves on the far end of the bench back in the day. But you cannot blame the coaches. Those big men were products of their time. Back then, the game of basketball had different rules and systems that were designed to enable big men to post up inside the paint and take advantage of mismatches whenever they were near the basket.
