@TheNBABase Game was overly physical…on both sides imo

@realbucketscout @UsherNBA @Wemby_Muse @Hoopss @FastbreakHoops5 @LegionHoops No two steps after the gather either! Al keeps his pivot foot! Go back to the old rule

@Jeff__Bernstein @CoachJayWright @joshhart @ChrisCanty99 @savinodj @bigeastrewind Too easy

@JonChep @DXContent @bennett_stirtz @IowaHoops @PrioritySports Saw him twice in the NCAA Tournament in Tampa. Like his IQ and demeanor on the court. Not sure he’s quick enough to get by NBA defenders

@konstructivizm 2015? Why have I never seen these images?

[Michael Atkinson @atkinson_one]

@jasonwhitlock Disagree with you here Jason. I would think Kevin Hart is a high IQ guy who took longer, as do many young men,to mature. Stupid people don't know they're stupid. Kevin Hart is not dumb. To his credit KH used his early failure as fertilizer

@Jackkk "Failure is fertilizer" @RealPitino

@Jeff__Bernstein @UAlbanySports @StonyBrookMBB @whatwouldmrcsay @SUNY @NewsdaySports @KMaherNews12 @SeawolvesUnited @stonybrooku @CoachWB33 Excellent Coach. You're spot on with the battles we had back when both schools were D3. Doc lived a long, productive life

@realBigBrainAI See Isaac Asimov short story “The Last Question”

@TheHoopHerald @RazorbackMBB Cal got the gift. Meet him for five minutes, you think you've known him a lifetime. No surprise he's a great recruiter

@Reghanson Coach Willard was channeling Coach Pitino. It was a joke. I agree with Reggie…many Pitino assistants have been “fired” multiple times. Not me…I was just cussed out multiple times. Never felt it was personal. His way of pushing/expecting you to be better

[Michael Atkinson @atkinson_one]

@Reghanson Was at Tournament games in Tampa yesterday. Every coach with one exception got after a player(s) to the point of appearing unreasonable. Todd Golden the exception... and his team played a first half of almost perfect basketball

[Michael Atkinson @atkinson_one]

Saw 4 @MarchMadnessMBB games in person yesterday. Clearly evident the @evo_nxt basketball from @WilsonBasktball is too light, too new, overinflated. Guys had trouble handling, ball was slick , bounced too high. Hard to control. Shots around the rim bounced off like a beach ball
