Thank you to all coaches who recruited me or showed interest but I would like to announce my commitment to St Thomas Aquinas and @MBacks @MatthewDCapell
Go Spartans

@ZakBoisvert As someone who has made the transition the other way, the answer is no. Your best shot at bagels that are somewhat close is getting them on the North side of Indy. In Indiana, you have to get used to having biscuits.

...I wonder if they know that's not what that's supposed to taste like

I see people in the midwest eating bagels and I wonder if they know

Basketball player Landis Sims was born with no hands, or legs below his knees. "I got more frustrated when I was younger," he said. "I mean, I like it when people tell me I can't do something, so I can just prove them wrong." Don't tell him he can't ball. indystar.com/in-depth/sport…

The success story of @HoopsHall inductee Junior Bridgeman of the 1971 state champion East Chicago Washington Senators.

@oldplayercoach @JWReamer @Zach3Hahn Remember we talked about this? Jk lol. Rose’s brother threatened to pull them and the organizers said they had to finish the game. We scored the first possession and then DRose held the ball right over half court for rest of the game. No Gordon at that time (He player for IE)

@JWReamer @Zach3Hahn Just one more reason for a shot clock in HS basketball right Jim?

Spiece Central Stars met them in the championship game at Addidas May Classic in Assembly Hall. We were UP 30 at halftime and they held the ball the entire 2nd half. Players sat on the floor. #MeanStreets #TeamGame

Imagine being 16 yer old guard just trying to have a good summer circuit in hopes that some school notices and these the guards you matched up against. This will make you take the books seriously

@CoachVear @PickAndPopNet @FastModel @HalfCourtHoops How many steps does he get to get into his shot while he has the ball? I count 5. Agree with the momentum point but I think it might have been more of an issue with the pass on both points
English
A great way to get a good shooter open is getting him to set back screens
Here is a simple but very effective BLOB play by Croatia at the Under 20 European Championships that shows a great example of this

@PickAndPopNet The step through post picking up your dribble definitely has a gender bias to it. Guys can get away with it in HS but it’s like a Princeton Backdoor layup in a girls game, esp at lower levels. It’s viewed as a sign of a mature, higher skill level player.

I challenge you to go look up the rules on and up and under and then tell me if you have to jump off of one or two after stepping through
