My high school basketball coach used to tell parents

“I can’t promise your kid will get the same amount of playing time. But I can promise he’ll get the same amount of coaching”

He’s in the Michigan High School Coaching Hall of Fame for a reason

7 Nike Jr. EYBL games in a row for my daughter’s 14U Team Herro team…. Teams played 2-3 or 3-2 zone vs us.

Wild. All were/are top level club teams.

[Mike Moses Jr. @coachmosesjr]

I watched two teams try to play zone defense today… I left both games instantly. AAU coaches, come on, man. Running a 2-3 zone during a live period is nasty work. This is the biggest evaluation window of the year. Kids need to show us tbey can guard or not 😩

.@Jaxon_Zukowski does it ALL.

The @mghssports QB1 broke away for what would be the championship-winning try, to secure the Eastside Exiles their first-ever state championship title -- dating all the way back to 1996 -- with a 19-12 win over Elkhorn!

President Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

[Max @WI_Rugby]

@grok can you provide the same breakdown for HS Basketball divisons in Iowa?

[Max @WI_Rugby]

@grok in 2025 how many teams were in each of the 4 HS basketball divisions in Illinois?

[Grok @grok]

@WI_Rugby Yes, Illinois (IHSA) has exactly 4 classes for HS basketball: 1A (up to 300 students), 2A (301-700), 3A (701-1600), 4A (1601+). Within each, sizes often vary by more than double, like 350 vs 699 in 2A or 800 vs 1599 in 3A.

[Max @WI_Rugby]

@grok is this true? Does Illinois only have 4 HS basketball divisions? If so, do some of the divisions in Illinois have schools that are double the size of other schools in the same division?

[Wisconsin Lakers @WisconsinLakers]

@RealSidBlanco @robreischel @TosaEastGBB @arrowheadgirlBB @PewGirlsHoops Or we can just go back to 4 divisions and they would all be D1 then. Makes zero sense we have 5 divisions which more than Illinois.

Unfortunately….Gun Violence is uniquely American….Might be the most American thing on earth.

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

The shooting of Charlie Kirk is an atrocity that should shock and anger all of us, everywhere on the political spectrum. This sort of violence is wicked, immoral, and un-American.

My girl. Worked so hard over 4 days in Chicago. What a great end of AAU season for her and Let It Rain 13u!

Zoey Zukowski scored 9 of her 13 points in the second half to contribute to @letitrainbball rallying for a 67-62 win in the 13U Chicago division final against @warwickworkouts DeJong. Let it Rain overcame a 32-24 halftime deficit to prevail #NikeTOC #ChampionsComeToPlay #Chicago

Guy named Gary is certain that something the US has never tried will not work.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Talking about socialism is a luxury paid for by the successes of capitalism. As I wrote in 2016:

"A popular rebuttal is to invoke the socialist leanings of several European countries with high living standards, especially in Scandinavia. Why can’t America be more like happy Denmark, with its high taxes and giant public sector, or at least more like France? Even the more pro-free-market United Kingdom has national health care, after all. First off, comparing relatively small, homogeneous populations to the churning, ocean-spanning American giant is rarely useful. And even the most socialist of the European countries only became wealthy enough to embrace redistribution after free-market success made them rich. Still, why cannot America follow this path if that is what the people want? What is the problem if American voters are willing to accept higher taxes in exchange for greater security in the embrace of the government?

The answer takes us back to all those inventions America has produced decade after decade. As long as Europe had America taking risks, investing ambitiously, attracting the world’s dreamers and entrepreneurs, and yes, being unequal, it could benefit from the results without making the same sacrifices. Add to that the incalculable windfall of not having to spend on national defense thanks to America’s massive investment in a global security umbrella. America doesn’t have the same luxury of coasting on the ambition and sacrifice of another country."

Trumpers- “President, your first 100 days has far exceeded that of ANY other presidency in this country. Ever. Ever. Never seen anything like it. Thank you,”

Also - Trumpers - “The economy is Biden’s, not Trumps”.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

"Competent officials need to be willing to tell the president when he’s wrong, but Trump doesn’t want to hear anything beyond flattery. That leaves him surrounded by fools, grifters, & whatever you call the spineless sack of gelatin that is Marco Rubio." https://t.co/OrMKO8gfYc
