I’ve never met a crazy sports parent that played at a high level

Ref Tip…If it takes the majority of the game for your team to reach double digits, and you’re down by 40 plus, the refs aren’t the issue. Your team sucks, and you shouldn’t be paying to play on the weekends. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dawn Staley seems to share my opinion on helicopter parents.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“When you allow your children to grow up it’s a direct, direct reflection of your parenting. If you hover over them all the time and they can’t work through problems, they’re going to have some issues. You’ve got to let them work through problems because they’re working through the things you’ve instilled in them,” Dawn Staley

Let them learn.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:

"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

Everyone take a minute to congratulate our two All Conference selections. These guys had a great year for us, and it’s too bad they don’t have any eligibility left. They’ll be greatly missed. Congratulations guys!

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

For the people that say 8 classifications doesn’t water down the playoffs, I hope you���re watching the 1A and 2A men’s finals…the losing teams in both games combined for 22 losses on the season, and were nowhere near even winning their own conference. Make it stop.

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

@DaddyLyfee @brhswolves_wbb @LakeNormanMBB Maybe for football…basketball would come out immediately after the regular season. Still does.

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

I need someone to explain it to me like I’m 5 years old why it’s necessary to wait until all of your conference opponents have been eliminated from the state playoffs to release your All Conference selections. Makes absolutely zero sense.

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

@KyleZoomZumbach @LakeNormanMBB Correct…state playoffs have no bearing. All coaches in the conference meet the day after the regular season is over and decide who gets it. Regular season has been over almost a month…no reason to make the kids wait that long.

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

@brhswolves_wbb @LakeNormanMBB I guess…but still not sure why it matters if you wait a week or two. At least let the kids be acknowledged that didn’t make the playoffs or had a very brief run.

@KyleZoomZumbach @BallHerHoopsCLT 26-3 in 2023

@WardYount NM won by 16

Whoever is commentating for this Lake Norman/North Meck game is doing the absolute worst job I’ve seen in my life. He hasn’t said the correct name yet.

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

@DaddyLyfee It was the absolute worst I had ever heard. He called four people Johnson, and there wasn’t a Johnson on the floor.

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

@lesliesloan That’s a little early for men’s basketball…

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

Making a HS schedule for a boys team is damn near impossible when you have a good girls team, and so many of these schools refuse to play them. When did so many coaches become such cowards?

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

@BallHerHoopsCLT It’s so bad. Not sure who they get to do these, but at the very least can he just look at the numbers? He’s called four people Johnson!

[Josh Shehan @ASU44]

Everyone gets a trophy. Teams that couldn’t actually beat their competition were probably elated when their main competitors switched classes and cleared the runway for them.

[Jamie Shaw @JamieShaw5]

This season, North Carolina will have

8 boys public school state champions
8 girls public school state champions
4 boys private school state champions
4 girls private school state champions

24 total high school basketball state champions 👀

Does any other state have this many?
