I wonder if there’s a Frequent Visitor Program or something at Spooky Nook where I qualify for a free soft pretzel 🥨🤔

Rising @WoodGirlsBball senior captain Kara Meredith off the board to Holy Family
Brings good size, perimeter shooting and defense
Coming off a strong HoopGroup event last weekend with @MagicAAU
Future is bright for Kara! She was right back in the gym working after committing! Thanks for being such a great teammate and coachable kid! Proud and lucky coach! Keep working!
Holy Family is getting a great person, teammate and player! Congratulations Kara! We love you and look forward to one more year together before rooting for you as a Tiger! #WoodProud
Straight from a mid-major D1 Assistant this morning: “I am not gonna risk my job for players that don’t even seem interested. I wanted to get involved with 3-4 specific players this weekend but I didn’t w/ any of them because they had HORRIBLE body language”
A vast majority of AAU coaches are volunteers who take more time off from work every year as tournament operators shift more events to weekdays and the new trend of stretching four games across three days. Think hard before posting about coaches “being in it for themselves”
Survive and Advance! Down 1 with under 10 seconds left and Kara Meredith hits the 3 to win it! Next game tomorrow vs Syracuse Royals at 12:20 on Court 2 in 2nd round of @hgsl_girls Championship
Just 1 Observation. Dribble-Dribble-Dribble then shot or a 1v1 move. Let’s maybe mix in a flex, stagger, flare, WBS, splits action, etc just to see if we can make a read. Decision making matters too.
It’s amazing how much you can uncover simply by watching a team warm-up. Tip offs to a team or club culture, focus of an individual player and at the appropriate age can a team run their own warm-ups? Fascinating!
“Basketball is a great mystery.
You can do everything right.
You can have the perfect mix of talent & best system.
But if players don’t have a sense of oneness as a group, your efforts won’t pay off.
The bond that unites a team can be so fragile, so elusive.”
- Phil Jackson
