There is this girl on my basketball team who is in a lower grade and has moved up to varsity. She is good, hustles and all this.  But she is the worse ball hog, although she does hit it most of the time. I counted how many plays she shot the ball like the last two days out of ten. She shot more than 7 of the shots. This ain't the worse part, if someone doesn't go where they're suppose to go, she yells at them. She is negative towards everyone of her teammates. She never says anything good. She pisses everyone of her teammates off. Where having a team meeting before our scrimmage Saturday if she doesn't straight her act up before then. I'm just curious to see what all you would say to the team?(we don't address them personally)

I wouldn't bring my issues to the whole team in a group meeting as my first plan of action.

First I would probably talk to her, then if that didn't work I would talk to my coach(es). If that ends up not working then I would bring it up to the team.

But..you are always going to have ball hogs, and if she's awesome your coaches won't care and there will be pretty much nothing you can do about it, as much as it sucks.
