@PaulSuellentrop Rod Grubb (#34 on the roster and the tall guy in this pic) was the best man at my parents' wedding back in 1956. Dad might have been in a frat with Rod and Glen Boyer (#11). Dad talked about Cleo LIttleton so often and raved about his skill. Great video!
Coaches - how many times have you drilled this? What do you do FIRST when you catch the ball in this scenario? And - what do you NOT do FIRST? 1 - Face up, rip-through, LOOK . . . 2 - Dribble ... don't dribble FIRST! Not a Duke fan, but I feel sorry for Boozer here. :(
@FixingEducation 'with fidelity' . . . haha. Fidelity to what? The billion dollar 'geniuses' and companies who have never stepped foot into a classroom?
@CollegeHoopsTIk I get it, but . . . the team holding the ball is the underdog (away jerseys) and if the 'white' team is a lot better, as long as it's in the rules, this is something to consider. If you're the favorite, you better go guard somehow.
@joannachadwick Exactly. I'm helping out at a 1A school these days and we've lost four good high school basketball players to club volleyball in the few years I've been there. I had middle school players play club VB all b-ball season. They were exhausted by the end.
@joannachadwick I watched an old video tonight that included a cool segment on the 1962 biddy basketball national championship. A team from Wichita defeated New Orleans 41-40 in the title game on lowered goals. Maybe 11 - 12 years of age? Do you know anyone who could ID players?
@WichitaEagleSpt
Here's a future story. I came across an old Converse basketball video highlighting 1962. One of the sections featured the biddy basketball national championship game. A Wichita team defeated New Orleans for the title. Sure someone knows someone who knows more.
Basketball folks from the Wichita, Ks. area . . . I ran across a video of a 1962 biddy basketball team from Wichita that won a national tournament against New Orleans. Someone has to know someone who knows something about this. The score was 41 - 40 with lowered rims. Help.
@nosyone4 Call the fouls before that and it doesn't end like that. You can't just grab a player's body while reaching for the ball. As a coach, it's frustrating when defenders are fouling like that and nothing is called until the offensive player tries to survive it all.
The last few minutes of that JHX TBT game was hard to watch. Most of those mistakes were things middle school players do . . . reverse dribble right into a defender, miss a dunk when a layup could have maybe sealed it, threw two LONG cross-court passes in the backcourt. SMH.
