Why wouldn't you squat? I would expect that any S&C coach worth a dime is teaching their athletes, regardless of the sport to squat, press, and pull in their most basic forms, then worry about holes.
I would assume you're, like myself, not strong enough to have holes.
See the question to ask is;
why?
When and why do you choose front squats over back squats? Or squats/DL over trapbar, or sumo? When and why do you choose bilateral squats/DL over single leg variations? After all, most sports and life require single leg support and stability. When do you choose mobility and ease of movement over strength, and why? What about rope climbing, the prowler, dragging something, upper body stability requirements, the external rotators of the hip, lateral strength, jumping, the snatch, C&J and other explosive movements? Why one over the other? So on.
Obviously I don't expect anyone to be able to answer all that.
You could argue that a squat/dl/benchpress (hardly) are basic movements, but so is walking, running, rotating the trunk, rotating the hips, standing on one leg, being able to hold your balance, pulling something towards you, climbing, so forth. Most of the time when you pick something off the ground or bend down, you don't squat/DL down and pick it up, you bend your back relaxed and pick it up. That's a basic movement, but not necessarily something we should load (although people doing the jefferson curl would beg to differ).
I am absolutely convinced that if Trapbar DL, strict OHP and, let's pick something arbitrary, max weight on a prowler push for 10 meters was the standard in PL meets, most people in here would be touting that as obligatory. "Why are you squatting with weight on your back? You're supposed to push the weight forward, that's the metric for strength!"
I'm not saying that the PL basics are not excellent exercises, because they are. They work as intended. I get it, I love them too. At the same time the way in which they are viewed are extremely biased. It's almost a religion.
They can be substituted by other exercises, whether for injury prevention, general health or sports performance. For measurements of tissue strength, agonist-antagonist ratios, speed, power, agility, jumping ability, balance, rotational power, ROM, maximum voluntary contractions, or whatever. People have this notion that if you don't do these three, and pick something else, your body will start crumbling and falling apart. It's very dogmatic and frankly hardly ever reasoned well. Furthering the discussion would be more than "just because", or "basic movement".
If someone comes to me with solid reasoning as to why they want to do this and that over the big three, if it makes sense for their purpose it's all well and good.
This doesn't mean you throw away progressive overload principles and start doing doing single legged pistols on a bosuball. The principles apply. You get stronger and lift heavier.
