“Vote for communist foreigners who hate you and want you dead or you’re helping Netanyahu!”
The most retarded bullshit imaginable. Anyone who falls for it cannot be taken seriously.
As a coach I would ideally want to have an 8 man rotations with a solid 9 and 10 guy who can contribute due to injury. Key to keeping guys fresh is never go too long before subbing....plenty of research shows more frequent, shorter breaks are more efficient than otherwise.
Great weekend with the squad competing in the Platinum Bracket at the UNC Camp. Proud of the way we competed, trusted each other, and stayed together through every game. Finished the weekend 4-2 and learned a lot. Back to work!
Unpopular opinion…
AAU doesn’t need to lead to college basketball to be worth it.
For a lot of players today, it’s simply part of becoming competitive enough to play varsity basketball.
Not every player is chasing a Division I scholarship. Some are chasing a varsity roster spot. Some want to make the rotation. Some want to help their high school team win. Some just love the game.
And that’s enough!
I think we’ve become too obsessed with using college basketball as the scoreboard for whether a player’s journey was worth it.
What if they never play another organized game after high school?
If they loved the practices… loved the tournaments… loved the road trips… loved the teammates… loved competing…
Wasn’t that valuable too?
Not every basketball journey has to end with a scholarship to be a success.
Sometimes success is simply getting better, building friendships, making memories, learning life lessons, and squeezing EVERY DROP out of a game you love.
If you’re playing on Court 1 or Court 37, play hard.
The love of the game doesn’t care what division you’re headed to.

@Bball_CO All that being said, I feel like in the 10 years I've been involved with and followed youth basketball in this state, I've seen a definitive increase in talent and kids were sending to the next level.
@Bball_CO Colorado's demographics has never lent itself to basketball domination. The state only has a population of 6M or so, 50% of which is in the Den metro area. It's an outdoorsy state that's largely white and hispanic. The African American population is less than 5%.
