Re(2): What players were/ are ballhogs ?

Lasa , the Backcourtmam from Bridgeport ?

Ricardo Sotil if memory serves

Aggressive wall climber sort as I recall, I guess if a backcourtman could be a Ballhog, he would qualify.

I was looking for a frontman for the answer, but a backman could go after too many balls as well by wall climbing and such, maybe Chimela qualifies ?

I prefer a Churucca that just gets in position over a wall climber.

In amateur play court time is money , so a good player can easily ballhog when paired with a poor newbie backman....that shouldn't really happen in pro play where a Bolivar can't let a ball go to Mugartegui, the guy can't be that bad , to play professionally. I've seen him (Mugar) play...I recall him as just being a player, certainly not great, but not some amateur that Boli could not trust to catch a ball !
