I am going into my junior year, I'm 6'5, 250 lbs, and I play football and basketball. I've been lifting hard all summer, but I have to play basketball too. I feel as though I'm not getting as big as I want to be... I lift every Mon, Wed, Fri from 9-11am, and on Tue and Thur I have some footwork and technique drills I do with a few teammates, and I have basketball most days 6-8pm. I am a college prospect as an OT, but most coachs agree that I am not big enough in mass. What can I do? My basketball coach is pretty strict about me not gaining fat, and my footwork is starting to get sloppy on the court. My game has been pretty bad lately, and I just don't know what to do to improve my basketball game but still get as big as I want for football.

Why do you _have_ to play basketball?

I think one is going to have to suffer a little. If you want football more than basketball you will need to gain more which will mean heavier lifting and more eating. That is a choice you have to make yourself, very hard if not impossible to do both the way you want to.

Yep, choose your poison. You can still "play" basketball even if you get bigger, you might just not get a scholarship with it but it's good exercise, and vice/versa.
