Help Crux Name This Game!

So the 'old underated games' thread got me thinking about an old, old basketball game I remember playing when I was a kid. I would have played it sometime between 1988 and 1992. It was a mixture management/sim style game, with a career-style play whereby you could play season after season.

A few details I can remember:

1. During the game, there would be three 'segments' to the court. When the ball was at either end, you would get a view from the halfway line looking towards the basket. However, when the ball was around the middle of the court, you'd get a side-on view.

2. You 'controlled' the players only on a very fundamental level. You could basically tell the guy when to shoot or pass, and kind of guide where to... but certainly no fine control. It was definitely more of a 'management' style of game.

If anyone remembers the game I'm talking about, I'd appreciate their recollections!!!!

Wasn't that just a 2-on-2 game? Or am I thinking of the wrong one?

My favorite classic basketball game? TV Sports Basketball. That game devoured my entire sophomore year in high school.

It was on my list of underrated games that I still play today. I recommend it for the amiga emulator.
