Surgery on my right eye went well and quickly. I look forward to the left bring done in 2 weeks. I'll be back in the gym and writing very quickly. Grateful for medical innovation.

In perspective, prom is a life event that kids don't get to enjoy more than a couple times. Kids can play basketball anytime. Kids can be seen frequently. Kids can market themselves easily. No brainer for a kid to choose prom.

ballers I KNOW can play but ride the pine because they don't have the coach's last name, aren't a senior, or are otherwise trapped. I DON'T politic or call out people. Not my place. But I know talent, I see you, and support you.

I'm saying right now that the players bickering with their teammates on the floor this past weekend at the Air Capital Classic have invited shade. 👀 saw you. IDC how good you are/think you are, you look bad. Scouts and all sorts of coaches watch. Don't be THAT girl
@pghkansas
Well looks like poaching season is in swing and not just the clubs. Coaches, if you are so poor as at developing talent organically and feel you need to blow a smokescreen to attract someone else's talent what does that say about YOU! Your CLUB! Your SCHOOL! 1/2

but should be back on it. Helping my daughter's family while she's been in and out of the hospital with a difficult pregnancy. Little granddaughter Banks (from Mary Poppins) in a OKC NICU to get stronger. Mom doing okay too. Thankful!
Parents. A tip. Don't run your son or daughter's social media accounts. College coaches and scouts want to talk to the player, not you. Supervise it and the email account it is tied to. But stay off of their account. Being labeled as one of THOSE parents is not good.

I wish high school refs would call the girls game the same as the boys. The ticky-tac garbage that's called in girls games never is called in boys.
Walk into the gym at this 5A school freshman game and a ref is walking. Everywhere. I'm nearly 60 and can still run. IMHO, even if you suck blowing a whistle friggin' hustle because the girls deserve better. And yes, toss me a whistle & shirt court side I would take over.

my apologies for dropping off the map a bit. I have had a health issue for several months that upcoming surgeries should solve soon after the first of the year.
Minor rant. Watched a game online tonight between two teams with good records. Not boxing out, getting back in transition, or rebounding resulted in the administered butt-kicking. Won't matter how well you handle, pass, or score you won't play anywhere in college.
@PGHKansas
I don't care if you're a close friend, I witness you literally cussing out and berating a player not only will I get involved but you're put in my s**t list. Good luck recruiting/retaining players b/c your rep will broadcast. Kids deserve better.
Much appreciation goes out to those who put rosters in Tourney Machine for

I'm mostly inactive over the next few days. Merry Christmas to every student athlete, the friends and family who support them, the media who give them exposure, coaches who teach them, and college coaches who recruit them.
Here's an example of trust in your point guard. From the moment she gained possession her teammates took off. That knowing speeds up opponents. That doesn't happen for teams without a floor leader. A top 5 quality in PGs. Are you trusted? Do you lead?

players. If you aren't committing to get better at something that is part of who you are because of a boyfriend or girlfriend, then you are with the wrong person. Real bfs/gfs support and cheer for you, not drain your energy.
Ya know what wears me out? Clubs NOT showing highlight and training videos of the non-top 5%. If you coach and practice or train with the other 95% how about showing them the same marketing love!
