@tbily1 @CoachDanCasey Great athletes can get away with bad habits. If they don't have great coaches early on who recognize them, they stick.

@CoachDanCasey Amazing this is what these guys do their ENTIRE LIFE and still can’t do it

This is elite.
I love hearing good coaches coach.

@SumElseThing1 I wonder if most of the ones complaining about the cost of raising children are just financially irresponsible. I have 2 kids and its really not as hard as people make it seem
English
Most people can afford kids. The reason they think they can't afford kids is because they're afflicted by class dysmorphia.
The urban apartment, travel habit, premium mediocre foodways, and other lifestyle consumption is all a cope to cover for the fact that most college educated Americans are no more elite than a plumber or bodega owner.
When you have kids, this illusion comes crashing down: You can afford the takeout, the vacations, the 401k contributions, but you can't afford the private schools and $1M+ home.
If you acknowledge you're of the great unwashed and not a temporarily embarrassed elite, you can almost certainly afford kids by just living like your blue collar peers do.

To be clear: I’m getting married this year & am deeply, fanatically excited to be a dad! But we & many other couples my age (30) are having the heartbreaking convo “can we afford as many kids as we hoped” “they just want to play phone games” is deeply unempathetic & pedantic

@GettnGood @benljbrooks @Luna9814781681 @thirdmetax Every time a system gets cooked, smart people take advantage.
English
@mschmidt74 @benljbrooks @Luna9814781681 @thirdmetax This IS how things are lol I don’t see how you could honestly say that when you’re advocating for treating the system the same as 40 years ago when we KNOW now that it’s not the same. Blind eye to inflation. The system is cooked, you might as well ride the wave now

Caleb Hammer is shocked after a guest admits he withdrew his entire 401k to buy a PS5 and played video games for 9 weeks instead of working
“I decided well I haven’t had a console or you know indulged in video games in 3 years, I bought a PS5 great and a 4K 240 hertz HD monitor”
“I played video games for nine weeks and you know what oh no and I went through my whole 4 0 1 k”

@GettnGood @benljbrooks @Luna9814781681 @thirdmetax You are also in a mind trap. Don't get caught up obsessing over how things should be. Learn to operate and take advantage of how things actually are.

@benljbrooks @mschmidt74 @Luna9814781681 @thirdmetax If you really could retire today I suggest spending it all on land while you can

@benljbrooks @GettnGood @Luna9814781681 @thirdmetax I don't think he's capable of those "few seconds of thought."
English
@GettnGood @Luna9814781681 @thirdmetax It doesn’t take more than a few seconds’ thought to see the problem with this plan.
Spoken like someone who’s never truly had to live it.
Enjoy the ignorance while it lasts!
English
@thirdmetax People like this will never have enough in their 401k to matter anyhow. I’d say still do it for the company match but honestly taxes and penalties probably take that. Waste of time. 😂

@MontyPatel As travel sports keep getting bigger, this is the future. The goal isn't winning and/or hiring a knowledgeable basketball coach. The goal is to have all school coaches get along, and all the kids have fun and socialize. The real competition will be outside of school.

When we donate $500 to this program how much playing time will my son get?
My son plays on Get Buckets or Die and won MVP in the Rabbit Hash Invitational, will he start for you?
My son averages 5pts & 3 rebs a game, what can you do to get him an offer from Kentucky next year?

Paris High School is taking a unique approach to hiring their next boys basketball coach. The top two candidates (unnamed) will have a public “listening and questioning” session on Tuesday.

@OLCoachRosen 99.9% are freak athletes who never had a chance of being cut from a high school sport. This is a false correlation

@CoachJohnSolak Dads and coaches treat youth sports like a pro sport. Moms treat prom like it’s a wedding. How about adults stop living through thier kids

@gamer_filip15 @danielrpopper Your reply isn't aging well...both guards are there

So #Chargers now up to seven picks in this draft.

Charles Barkley on the Rockets’ offense…
“They just play one-on-one basketball… they don’t run plays… what are they doing? Whoever gets it shoots it… they have KD to cover up all their flaws… I have no idea what kind of offense they are running… it was awful to watch”
English
@Anthony_Pugh2 I used to do this with 6/7th graders. Another layer is to put a second defender on the ball side block. He has to run toward sideline around a cone and get back.
English
Get better at finishing at the rim
✅ Live defense
✅ Scoring in the paint
✅ Scoring with contact
✅ Small spaces

@Isandjabi @brianmccormick Everything you said used to be done with pickup games to 12 by 1s. Now people pay for this crap. The kids all play so many games that they don’t try hard. He’ll even the NBA guys pay checks are not enough to keep them playing hard every game and want to play less
English
@brianmccormick And the opportunities they get from the games they play in the summer. Once you hit college, whether you won or lost games in AAU won’t matter. The development, experience, exposure will.
English
ALL LEVELS AAU SHOULD BE ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AND EXPOSURE‼️
WE COACH A KIDS GAME, FOR KIDS. EMPOWER THE CHILDREN TO SUCCEED AND GET YOUR EGO OUT THE WAY!!
NOBODY CARES ABOUT GAMES WON IN APRIL, GET COACHES TO BELIEVE IN YOUR PLAYERS AND PUT YOUR PLAYERS IN A POSITION TO SUCCEED
NYCPROSPECTS@nycprospects
As Grassroots season is in full swing. I want to give a reminder that grassroots basketball (at the 17u level) is about ONE THING ONLY. GETTING KIDS PLACED IN COLLEGE. Winning games is nice. But remember this is for the athletes. Not the adults.

Woman says she served in the US Military, she went to college and became a nurse
She says she did everything she was supposed to do. Her husband works at Intel. Even with both their incomes, they still can’t afford a home
She is thinking of getting a second job because after paying $3,000 per month in rent, car payments and insurance they have almost nothing left
“I did everything I was supposed to do. I went, I was in the military, I went to college, I worked and we can't buy a home. What did I do wrong?”
America is not supposed to be like this. If you work hard you should be able to afford a home and have a good life

@myra_fleener @dannykanell Nah, he should bean the 1st and 3rd base coaches
English
@dannykanell So, should the pitcher hit the next batter or bean this guy the next time he comes to bat?
English
The coaches and parents who allow this to go on are the problem. Instead of teaching kids how to play the game the right way and show respect for the opponent they’re worried about getting viral attention. Embarrassing.
English
@dannykanell If mommy’s and daddy’s weren’t at the game the next 5 batters are taking head shots from the pitcher. Kids used to police themselves with high heat, hard fouls, etc.

@ras_clat @marcisenberg I like sports. I enjoy them. They are currently enjoying an outsized level of importance in society though. Remove college and professional sports and the world keeps on spinning. The amount of energy and money spent in sports is crazy.
English
You have to admire the college sports model: convince alums to donate millions to professional sports franchises—and consider the wins the ROI.
