Schools need to start having conversations with the WIAA about postseason streaming rights fees and processes.
Schools are charged to stream games from their own facilities ($150, or $200 if they have sponsors) if they don't use the WIAA's preferred platform of the NFHS Network, even if schools feel a different product is better for them or their situation (Hudl Fan, YouTube, cable access partner, student-produced stream).
They shouldn't be punished for doing so. And fans shouldn't be punished by not having access to streams for high-profile playoff games that would otherwise be streamed but schools don't want to pay to do it.

I think there should be a 10 second count or something like it to an offense that is stalling not in the last 2 min of a HS basketball game. No shot clock…something like this will help.
Brad Stevens says the teammates he respects most aren't the stars.
They're the ones who "can play but don't need to play."
After 20+ years of coaching, he's identified 5 traits that great teammates all share:

Billy Donovan shares a lesson that changed how his players thought about winning.
At Florida, he had a manager track how long the ball was in each player's hands during a game.
He asked one of his starters: "How many minutes do you think you had the ball in your hands for the game?"
The player said 15 minutes when he had played 30.
The real numbers?
"A backcourt player, for the most part, is probably 92% of the game gonna be played without the ball in their hands. A frontcourt player - 95% of their minutes is gonna be played without the ball in their hands."
Think about that. You're playing without the ball almost the entire game.
"It's amazing to me how many players focus on points, points, points. That's what goes on ESPN. That's what gets the highlights."
"But if you're gonna strictly talk about winning and you're really driven and motivated by winning and competing and being a good teammate, you have to look at the fact is -- what am I doing with my 92, 93, 94, 95%?"
"Am I screening? Am I running the floor? Am I on the floor for loose basketballs? Am I rebounding? Am I taking a charge?"
"There's so many ways to impact the game with the amount of time you're on the floor when the ball's not in your hands."
This is what separates good players from winning players.
You control how you show up.
You control your attitude.
You control your effort.
Great teammates master what they do when no one's watching - and when the ball isn't in their hands.
Winning isn't about the glamour. It's about the 95%.

🇺🇸 TEARFUL NAVY VET: “I never thought this country would see this day. 20 years in the navy fighting for our freedom — for somebody like Trump come in and take it away.”
BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada.
He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are.
It's VERY effective.
Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦
Bob Costas on Trump:
"He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. You have to be in a toxic cult to believe that Trump has ever been emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be POTUS." * (2024)

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson has been CAUGHT delaying the swearing-in of Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva - because she’s the 218th vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Jeffries: “They’re hiding them from the American people…they’re frightened to death about what’s in them.”
Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.
So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks. We’re being asked for official results… So I’m wondering why the rules are suddenly different. And maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’m number 218 on the discharge petition.
We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
