Heard a story of an AAU coach who put all 10 of his players on the floor at tip off. The refs told him that 5 needed to get off the court. He didn't and got a tech. He turned to the parents behind the bench and said, "See, I told you that they all couldn't start!"
Watching basketball talent turn into an issue of access is so unfortunate… bucket runs and fundraising were used to make sure kids who couldn’t afford to play had the opportunity. Now if you can’t afford a personal trainer or premier team you’re out of luck.
Being a fan of Milaysia Fulwiley is the most electrifying yet stressful thing ever omg I’m actually going to take a shot for @dawnstaley at this point. #GoCocks
Don’t know the details of TSpoon’s firing. But we know from our research that Black women are most likely to be fired and least likely to be rehired in The W. If interested, @WNBA we are happy to talk more about this work. #WNBATwitter
Stephanie White spoke extensively on the hate her players (and other W players) have faced:
“We in the media have to do a better job of not allowing trolls in social media to become the story. I feel like we have allowed trolls in social media to frame the narrative of what the story is. And it’s unacceptable.”
And for Aliyah Boston to be so young and one of the most hated post players in the league and she can acknowledge it, says a lot about how some peoples anger may be misplaced on her.
You know Te-hina Paopao humble as shit cuz if that was my last name and I was knocking down big shots you’d have to call the national guard to stop me from doing finger guns
