@charliekirk11 The country of Spain got a lot better.

What western city has gotten better with more Muslim immigration? Is London better? Is Amsterdam better? Is Paris better? Is NYC better? I'll wait.

@JohnCarrier42 I remember McCollum getting d2 POY to come back. That’s when I knew if he went d1, he’d get good guys and keep them. These D2 coaches who keep their programs rolling in this moneyball era are great hires

You think hiring McCollum worked for Drake…just wait till we see this guy with a D1 program.

@HeadBallCoachWF @NCAA This all started with Oklahoma vs NCAA Supreme Court case in the 1989s. The NCAA was restraining the colleges free trade. The NCAA needs to require unions for players where athletes get a percentage of tv contracts and have a certain number of 2 year and 1 year contracts

The @NCAA messed up college athletics so bad it’s amazing anyone there still has a job. All they had to do was 20 years ago start making a plan, incrementally adjust, & treat players fairly from a compensation standpoint. Instead they buried their heads in the sand and still collected large salaries to see about the demise of college athletics. Everyone of these people should be fired and then presented with a “Show cause” for them to ever get to work in the college athletics space again. And since I’m on the topic of people who ruin athletics, Steve Pederson destroyed Nebraska football and should have to pay back every dime of his AD salary.

@HeadBallCoachWF I love when they call travel and carrying. Trainers are now arguing that a ref can’t see certain travels in real-time hence it’s legal. I’m like it doesn’t matter of you run a red light at 25 or 125 it’s still illegal lol

An under appreciated part of watching college basketball on TV is watching the officials. Always professional. Every player and coach knows what a foul it. Games flow. The good officials are good for a reason.

@AntiCommieBecca @SwipeWright The concepts of science aren’t that complicated and don’t need big words. Scientists just stick their names in or add really odd phrases. For example theory of relativity just states everything has to play by the same laws of physics in the universe

This actually makes a lot of sense, the humanities are arguably less complicated than hard science. So those who work in humanities are purposely trying to complicate or “problematize” their work so they can compete with hard science to gain notoriety & relevancy in a changing world where the humanities are quickly being viewed as irrelevant.

Noam Chomsky on the pseudointellectualism of postmodern literary theorists. "If you look at what's happening, I think it's pretty easy to figure out what's going on. I mean, suppose you're a literary scholar at some elite university or an anthropologist or whatever. If you do your work seriously, that's fine, but you don't get any big prizes for it. On the other hand, you take a look over in the rest of the university, and you got these guys in the physics department and the math department, and they have all kind of complicated theories, which, of course, we can't understand, but they they seem to understand them. And they have principles and they deduce complicated things from the principles and they do experiments, and they find either they work or they don't work. "And so that's really impressive stuff, so I want to be like that too. So I want to have a theory in in the humanities, you know, literary criticism, anthropology, and so on. There's a field called 'theory.' We're just like the physicists. They talk incomprehensibly, we can talk incomprehensibly. They have big words, we'll have big words. They draw far reaching conclusions, we'll draw far reaching conclusions. We're just as prestigious as they are. "Now if they say, well, look, we're doing real science and you guys aren't, that's white male sexist, bourgeois, whatever the answer is. How are we any different from them? Okay. That's appealing." h/t @crocoduck_king

@TweetsbyCoachP @AuburnMBB Power conference D1 is different than the rest of D1. Usually size and athleticism, not skill. The pros from power conference typically have elite size, skill and athleticism. Lower D1 and D2 usually have crossover, lack size or athleticism mainly. Most are skilled though

“Good D2 Basketball is better than low major D1 basketball.” @AuburnMBB’s Bruce Pearl Drake is 6-0 with 4 D2 transfers as the focal point of their team. This isn’t as much of an outlier as you think! It’s a FACT! Good D2 is better than low D1.

@TweetsbyCoachP Jay Williams at Duke was tough. Mateen cleaves was tough too. Underrated Jason Gardner

Who is the best college PG you ever saw play?

@DanPatrick @dpshow I was really thrown off by this. Like slightly humored because he definitely is getting asked show questions all the time.

I am disappointed that President Biden is turning Hurricane Beryl into a political issue. We had a cordial call today that ended up with him granting my request for a major disaster declaration. But that’s not good enough for him. He is falsely accusing me that I was not reachable. He obviously did not know his own employees from FEMA were side-by-side with me for 3 days! All he had to do was call them and have them hand their phone to me. I even took a photo with them! Before we made an official ask, we needed to determine what our outstanding needs were. We were working on that with local officials as we traveled the impacted areas. As I was being briefed today, the president called. To quote President Biden, this is a load of malarkey, and he’s shoveling it!

@Jacobtheclipper People don’t know hoop history. They say things like IT is the only little guy who scored like that. I’m like actually Calvin Murphy did it back in the 70s.

“90s guys couldnt shoot like today” FALSE. In my 27 years of watching NBA basketball there is probably only a few shooters I would take ahead of Glen Rice. This man averaged 27 points one year on 47% shooting from the 3 point line. If he was born 20 years later (in this era) he would be a household name. Rice was shooting 5+ three-pointers a game, a rarity in the 90s. In this era he would be encouraged to shoot even more and would have multiple years averaging 30+ 👊🏼

@DanPriceSeattle The sad thing is most people don’t know this was done at the very start of the US. Georgia originally was a charity state and took the underbelly of English society, believing if only those citizen were given a second chance.

Denver gave homeless people $1,000 a month, no strings attached. A year later: *45% secured housing *Taxpayers saved $590k because of fewer visits to the hospital, jail and shelters *People used the money on groceries, rent, hygiene, clothes and transportation *Mental health improved and they could spend more time with their kids and grandkids Amazing what happens when you give people a chance

@jeffpearlman Careful the FIBA/NBA travel rule fans will come after you. They want this garbage at the high school and a below level.

@dalysshanson It’s the Midwestern mom accents for me

ANT put up 50 and then had what has gotta be a top 5 post game interview answer….love this guy #nba #howl

@bballbreakdown It’s rules like this in basketball that are silly to me. When you’re out of bounds it’s not three points, so why is it for half court. Also adopt fiba rule no passing to backcourt on inbound

This is NOT a backcourt violation because the ball handler does not establish ALL 3 points (ball and both feet) in the front court first before going into backcourt.

@TweetsbyCoachP My only issue is there’s technically two other fouls on that play. Clark is literally hugging the offensive player in corner on that play.

If there is a rule that is violated at that point in the game, then it can and should be called if it decides a game or not. I don’t care if it was on UCONN or Iowa. I’ve said it for years….if it’s a foul in the first minute, it’s a foul in the last minute. Not calling is deciding the game as well.

@TeamRHJAZ Still is in my area, but only 1 day a week

I’m old enough to remember when playing pick-up basketball at the rec centers were free!

@TeamRHJAZ Would like to know background. People don’t realize but there are kids who end up behind academically because of homelessness or home school. I’ve seen juniors in high school who were 19. Not always psycho sports parents.

I just heard them say that there’s a 16yr old playing in the McDonald’s game tonight and yet we have 16yr olds still in the 8th grade! 🤦🏾‍♂️

@jadenschoch I think what cost them was running the offense with van leith. She couldn’t get the ball inside to Reese. Offense didn’t flow with her playing point. Clark is phenomenal she’s gonna get hers. But that with Reese’s ankle twist was their downfall

Why wasn’t Flau’jae on CC all game? That makes no sense to me.

@Coach__Strick Now granted if they’re international basketball fans they would have thought it was a backcourt.

A GREAT example of why refs get verbally abused at every game ever! 90% (or higher) of people have no freaking clue what the actual rules are!! Announcers were wrong. Fans were wrong. Even the NC State coach was wrong. And I’m guessing most still don’t know they are wrong🤦🏼‍♂️

@tonywmiller I want to shoot like that when I have a matching widows peak

When I’m Jack Gohlke’s age, I want to shoot like that
