Miss Caitlin's Mentor

Lover of ball, good surf, inordinate discipline, and formal verse. 'He who refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul' (Proverbs 15:32) 🌹

@ohnohedidnt24 Miss Caitlyn... please -- no matter the reporter's question -- please don't talk about yourself. It's the last day of the season. Talk of the improvement your teammates have made. Be mature, (and try and be) a leader.😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@Hero_OfThe_Day @WNBA @CaitlinClark22 The defender (who got the steal) just made a good but easy play on the ball: Miss Caitlin dribbled at full tilt for 80+ feet, almost in a straight line: much much too easy to defend. (But to her credit she did get back on dee after the turnover.)

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@masters_do82355 @nut_history Not really. To borrow the phrase from M. Twain, more 'like comparing lightning to a lightning bug'.😔

@Postradamus4 Funny how right after the key player makes the (presumed) forced lame pass he simply 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡���𝑖𝑛𝑔 as if all was going according to 'plan'? An entirely unintuitive reaction for a basketball player. (So, are gambling Americans this shallow?)

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@FastbreakHoops5 To be true, it's scarcely even basketball. No real rules in view: hence, ugly picture after ugly picture.😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@TheHoopHerald Yet another reason not to lower a lady-baller's aspirations, but rather lower that sorry basket from 10-foot to a more exhilarating 9-foot basket? Think of it: with soooo many players dunking a whole new era of style would come to be. A brand-new, genuine trait in female sport.💛

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@TheHoopHerald Gotta feel for this sweet girl. She looks very lost, standing in the lane, that tall, tall basket looking down. Dimensions (for a televiewer) just seem 'off', funny to the eye.😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@mrMicahmcawe @WNBA @coinbase 𝐽𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑙𝑦 despised, given the traditions of b-ball, and by gals -- surprise! -- who share the same background. We should all hope that because of the Sun's forced 'rude awakening' the Rookie of the Year might find a little maturity sneaking in. We can hope.😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@mrMicahmcawe @WNBA @coinbase Oh, brother Micah of Impoverished Vocabulary! It's a basketball contest, not a tea party with cookies and cakes. Getting popped, thumped once in a while is good for a (basketball) soul. Especially when thumping a swaggering fool as Miss Caitlin is. The point was she's despised.😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@mrMicahmcawe @WNBA @coinbase Time is passing and she's slowly forgetting the shame and embarrassment she felt finding out (during the game -vs- the Sun) that the white gals hate her guts, too. And, to be fair, for good reason: Miss Caitin's ugly public manner.😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@dionnewarwick Absolutely love what this young man has done with the song, placing durable brother Burt's overture in front of your magnificent phrasing. So, so lovely.🌱🌹https://t.co/BiKu2UzZnF

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@dionnewarwick Was in D.C. two years ago and saw you, Miss Dionne, from the front row at the Warner Theatre. That afternoon my girl & I had been at the Library of Cong. researching for our book on Inger Stevens. In my screenplay of her life your great 'Are You There' is that one key song.🌺💜

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@tymeslayer @RealDonKeith No, my bovine friend, it all just depends on 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛. And that boneheaded superstar you're defending here is poorly chosen: in the case of the loose ball a decent person's only going to go one way.😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@AngryCops I get your drift, brother. But the internet, it's speed and power to 'communicate', makes this post a poor idea. Probably best to just keep the 'gotcha dude!' to private thoughts, or maybe call an old friend to share the laugh? (And that tone of voice, brother, is just wrong)😔

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@IndianaFever @SydJColson @WNBA Why is this signing such a big deal? Miss Sydney seems like a 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 ordinary player who'll be enduring some hard fought time on the bench (perhaps waving a white towel in moral support?). Heck, just bring back Erica.😔🌺

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@PacersUK @IndianaFever @cheezit Regrettably, the young ladies' platitudes about 'life', about b-ball, about 'you just doin' you' are all at the 'CHEEZ-IT level' only. (To me) it would have been nice to hear if any of them likes older poetry, old books, old movies -- anything other than today's obsessions.🌱🌺🌱

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@nosyone4 Hard fouls? To a modest person those are signs of dignity, and a rare form of respect -- at least in basketball. (That is, you don't foul with force ordinary players.) Besides, Miss Caitlin shouldn't want to be known as a china doll, protected, shielded, on display only.

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@drwilson2016 @Sen_Alsobrooks Just the slightest chance that reasonable change might come scares the hell out of all those tied to the great Lie: the lie being that there's not enough good health around for all to have it. Nonsense. (PS - 'Jesus' won't be impressed w/ your three exclamation points!!!)

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@nbagleague @SouthBayLakers @Lakers @NBA The intenseness in the game is like that of a pick-up game at Venice beach: No dee, no help dee. Young B. making shots, but heck, no one's guarding him.

[Miss Caitlin's Mentor @ChuckDouglass1a]

@MrSmithMarrero With C. Clark not playing it was the perfect moment to alter women's basketball (not just 3-on-3) forever. Make it unique, truly bold: lower the baskets to 9 ft. so we can see the blistering dunks, the unmistakable expression of b-ball athleticism. It might save the sport.💐
