@apenandanapkin @UConnWBB @GamecockWBB @TexasWBB @UCLAWBB Well said. Agree 1000%.

I coached women's basketball for 27 out of my 28 years, so this is important to me. Four things, to be clear: 1. I did not watch @UConnWBB vs. @GamecockWBB 2. Whatever happened between Geno and Staley was not good. 3. I did watch @TexasWBB vs. @UCLAWBB 4. I don't have a dog in the fight. I literally could care less who wins the natty. Most are focused on Geno and Staley. To me, the bigger story is the poor offensive basketball, largely spurred on by officiating that has allowed overtly physical defense. 62, 51, 48 and 44 points. By this history teacher's math, that's an average of 51 ppg. That is not good for the game. I get that the players can be tight/nervous, the scout is on point and sometimes teams have bad nights, but I've also seen and coached enough ball to know when the physicality is detrimental to the game and the product. That happened last night, by most unbiased accounts. I'm not saying they're shouldn't be physicality. I also don't want to see a 110-108 layup drill. You can allow for some physicality while also allowing for flow and freedom of movement. Grabbing and hugging off ball cutters, putting two hands on dribble drives or wrapping up a player trying to post up is not entertaining nor good for the game. I also don't believe in the argument of "we want the players to decide who should win". Basketball is and always has been a game of offensive skill, not about who can out-shove the other team. There's other sports for that . . . Just call the game it was intended to be officiated. If it's a foul, call it. Don't allow teams to foul 100 times because they'll only call the most obvious 15-20. If they foul 100 times, call it 100 times. The players and coaches will adjust. These teams are awesome. The players are awesome. The coaching is top notch. But this is the game's biggest stage; let's put players in a position to display what they're capable of and, more importantly, to entertain and grow the game. 62-48 and 51-44 with a 20-17 halftime score won't grow the game. It will only stunt it. There. That thud you heard was me jumping off my soap box.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎁🎄 & HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE LADY PIRATES!

My apologies and prayers to his family and friends. So sad. RIP Brad.

RIP to my colleague and friend Brad Mallam, who I worked with in Elgin, OK. Brad and I had some good scouting road trips together as he was the best story teller of all time. He had a prequel, sequel and prologue to every story he told. He made those trips fun. 1/2
