What may be sacraficed in initial speed of the game should be made up for in better recognition and teaching awareness... which is very difficult to teach indeed.

I will need to meditate on this concept some.
I wonder if the human ability to recognize other faces so quickly and easily makes the basketball and soccer comparison invalid. I do like the thinking behind the idea of learning to get the head up though.
