i dunno but its always what the trainer says... don't do squats first...
basketball training squats are a little different... its more like a jump squat, lower the weight slowly then before reaching the bottome end, spring the knees and "jump"... its really very taxing to the knees and lower back if these muscles aren't warmed up yet...

Hahaha! You're trainer is teaching you wrong. From this thread that i read the leg extension is the best warmup for the knees and the squats should be the 1st on the leg exercise. From what I saw in the San Miguel basketball team is this: (I saw it 2 years ago)
20 min cardio
Squat
leg press
leg extension
leg curl
standing calfraises using smithmachine
They perform it light weight / high reps. Nohting more.
Hey dude, no offense. I just want people to know the right thing to do.
