Please inform him that although Private Schools do tend to have Alums Spread across the Nation/World THAT is an Advantage for a NATIONAL (& International) Conference over a Regional Conference Plus these schools ALREADY have LOCAL Support that handles everything they NEED it for
@ImmaculateView Agree. Some have demonstrated how this can be done. Look at Notre Dame, Miami and Duke. Each of these have been able to connect with their communities and the nation as brands that people will watch. They also have very wealthy, stupidly wealthy alums that can engage. The

Prospects: This is TRUE My playing career ended on my own terms (somewhat) But my Officiating Career ended on the 2nd Saturday of a Season 1 year & it wasn't until 6 years & tons of setbacks later that I knew it was over Cherish it 1 day U have it The next it is GONE
Appreciate the NOW. Rick Pitino is spot on. Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think. One day, the practices, the games, the grind - it’s all gone. Cherish every rep, every moment, every opportunity. Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

Parents of College Prospects: THIS ADVICE is certainly worth considering There are more constructive ways to HELP your Athlete get to the Next Level than some of the way some (not all) of you try to Help Take it or Leave it U do U
Since parents wanna be involved so much…get involved with making a good high school decision, get involved with making better AAU decisions, get involved raising those gpa’s and SAT scores, get involved with diet, sleep, and less screen time.

Can U explain that? Or maybe post something below that explains it? A Video perhaps? Or Words, I'm not picky
@mckenzielaw I've been saying this from the start because I literally watched the English Premier League happen. And it all echoes.

Why Destroy the Good Thing they have going? Why force them OUT Entirely when it could be a 🏈 ONLY thing? Why ruin 🏀 ⚾ ⚽ etc when U don't have to? Stop letting the PERFECT be the Enemy of GOOD The Perfect isn't Perfect anyway
@mckenzielaw Why would they allow those that leave to stay in conference for non revenues and basketball? Shouldn't it be a clean break. Doesn't that allow Super League to have cake and eat it too?

That Take has always been CLUELESS & Today it I'd. Ore Clueless than Ever U ever think that MAYBE the Top Brands in the Big 12 MIGHT want a chance to Make SEC or B1G 💰 by Earning the INCENTIVES available in the ACC that will DO just that? 🤔 Nah U don't think U just Parrot
@ramblinroundup @mckenzielaw If FSU and Clemson leave, the ACC will go the way of the PAC. Everyone will look to bail.NoCar will be the only school with a choice of B1G and SWC. B12 will snatch VT, NCSt.,Miami, Ville, and/or Pitt (for WVU).

They would have to move SIX (or more) as part of this arrangement, but maybe U might also consider that Big 12 Commish has been talking about a SPLIT of 🏈 & 🏀 into Seperate Entities creating a 🏈 Only Conference This could also Facilitate THAT
@mckenzielaw Or could it be that ESPN is just paving the way to move 4 ACC schools to the SEC before the Big 10 has a shot at them?

Ask him to go back & READ what I told him before he BLOCKED ME If he has any Humility he will see that THIS is what I TOLD HIM 6 Months to a Year ago & He Blocked Me for it
@mckenzielaw That’s some solid analysis. I realize it’s a lot of speculation, but it’s hard to argue against your theory.

ACC did not negotiate against itself IT WON the Lawsuit BC it got everything IT wanted which was the Delay until 2030 Then it WON the Settlement because it got Everything IT wanted ACC is navigating a Maelstrom & Surviving every Onslaught & Steering Safery to its Port of Choice
@mckenzielaw Absolutely. I don’t think anyone gave Clemson or FSU a snowball’s chance. But the conference essentially negotiated against itself in the end which made no sense…so it was definitely about something else since the law sure seemed to be on its side.

Just because YOU have no SEEN any of the ACC Strategy playing out all this time does not mean it is NOT THERE ACC has played its hand out of the spotlight It has had a Bad Hand & has played it to near Expert Level the past 12 years In that post he misses SOME other aspect of it
@mckenzielaw You know, I respect your opinions and value them, but this feels like backwards, adding strategy to a conference led by a commissioner who has none to explain how they essentially had their lunch handed to them by legal teams or at least arguments that You don’t think we’re

Very interesting take Thinking about what he says a little I'm thinking he may be 💯 on this Anybody have any other insights on what he is saying about 🏀 Offense?
The 4 OFFENSES that make up ALL OFFENSES: Triangle, Princeton, DDM, Flex Understanding the spacing and triggers behind these systems opens up the Pandora's box of teaching the game conceptually. 👇🏼 Specific elements to study from each: TRIANGLE - Weakside 2 man game

Clearly a CHARGE on the Coach That Ump was playing Legal Defense & moving Obliquely at the Point of Contact Replay comfirms Oh wait wrong sport 🏀
Oh my goodness, Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall has been ejected in the 1st inning against LSU “You missed 3 pitches, you missed 3 pitches” Then an umpire loses his balance. This is ridiculous and absolutely absurd

Great Post for Prospects to read
As you continue to push toward getting that chance to play basketball at the next level, just remember these three things: 1) college coaches don’t sit in the stands with a scorebook in their hand, make sure you do something else. 2) the fear of the unknown is always a mystery.

STICKY WORDS SUNDAY Preparation + persistence = Success Scouting an opponents DEFENSE 101: 1. Do they switch from zone to man? 2. PNR coverage, this will tell you their man to man philosophy- gaps or denial. 3. How many do they send to the glass? This will determine if
