    OK!!!

    So I fell asleep in the big chair last night watching Blacklist and missed the ButtFoul and a bunch of more FUGLY basketball, mostly by Dook…

    Tonight… I’m gonna try to do better, but the change from Slow Time to Fast Time might interfere… we’ll see…

    HOLES v. ‘hoos…
    Hateful v. Obnoxious…
    What a f’ing choice…

    But it’s the Championship Game of Tournamenttime and you just gotta watch, right?

    I’m hoping the ‘hoos utterly destroy and demoralize the HOLES and send ’em home with their tails ‘tween their legs, and not ’cause there’s anything I like ’bout the ‘hoos either…

    GO WOLFPACK!

    Botb,
    Somehow my girls pulled off the win today.

    GREAT JOB!

    They’ll remember that for a long time…
    Success breeds success…
    I just hope it wasn’t the last game of the season…

    Now…
    Did you give PostGameSpeech #1 or #2 ???

    In some ways, saying we “weren’t ready to play” sounds even worse to me. That implies some failure on the part of the coaching staff to get us mentally prepared.

    For the record, at least according to my coaching book….

    Yes
    and
    Yes…

    Everybody chokes… and it’s more frequent the ‘first time’…
    And most of time, choking starts as a individual thing which may or may not spread to the rest of the team… Choking only happens during the game…

    “Not Ready To Play” is much more of a “Team” thing… Choking only happens before the game…

    —————–

    Bet your A##, we’ll be “Ready” for the next game, whenever that is…

    And just to close the door behind me, “Being Ready To Day” does NOT mean the end of “FUGLY”…

    Y7 is still going to ‘try’ to play perimeter defense, which has become a joke of sorts…
    Abu is still going to disappoint himself…
    A.Freeman is still going to take some bad shots…
    Markell, A. Freeman and Beverly are still going to make some bad passes…
    Dorn is still going to rest in the first half…

    They’ve done that every game this season…
    The games we won Big and the close ones, win or lose…. They were ‘Ready To Play’…
    The games we lost by a lot… They weren’t ‘Ready To Play’…

    GO PACK!

    “The Recreation Business”, both public and private, feed off of parents’ competitiveness and their willingness to re-live their youth thru their kids lives.

    It’s Sad… for every 1 kid that gets to play ball on a High School Team , there are a hundred or more who refused to continue playing before the seventh grade because they weren’t big enough, good enough, faster enough, played on losing teams and didn’t have fun, couldn’t put up with Mom or Dad, or had a bad experience with a Coach or team mate…

    They’d all be better off playing in the yard or street… by themselves… until the sixth grade…

    end of rant…

    nut job parents who all think their kid is getting a scholarship

    Yep…. If she’s gonna be an “athlete” and play competitively… both of ya’ll might as well get used to that and go ahead and “agree on some things”…

    It’s cheaper, in most cases, to pay for college than for 6-8 years of year round sports, including “travel teams”…
    Math is our friend.

    I imagine this is the last year I coach her in basketball.

    I always thought it was a mistake to Coach your own kids on a team… Best for me to coach other kids and let other coaches coach mine… I worked out with ’em and showed ’em some stuff individually…

    I did coach my son one season in baseball (7th grade), and that was the only season out of 11 that I had a parent ask me “why I was starting my son and not her’s?” She didn’t understand when I told her honestly that her kid was a little weaker than the others and that I didn’t want to him to get ruined by constant failure…

    The kid took it well, buckled down, came to every practice and every game with a good attitude and improved, but never started on that team…

    The next season that kid started shaving and was the only kid from my team that made the middle school team… My son and him are still good friends and see each other regularly 20 some years later…

    Mom, I think, still looks at me funny…

    ———————-
    I’d try summer league on a team of better girls, if she’s serious about it…
    If you want to be the best, play with and against the best…

    Dook, inconsistent as always this season, gives up a double digit lead and is up 4 at the half against Notre Dame…

    This could be a game we’d want Nobody to win but… ND could be challenging for our ticket to the dance and we’d love to see somebody beat the HOLES again…
