Why is it than that so little stretching is done in basketball training. Well, it's not. While most high schoolers and weekend warrior, just run a few laps and go into the game, in college and in the pro's things are done differently. College players usually undergo at least some stretching programs. Professionals often do trainer or therapist assisted stretching. Each player brings a lot of money to the team, and everthing is done to keep them healthy and in top form. This includes stretching.
