Master of the Hardwood

Any news on the paper work from Cordia? Did the injunction come through for them yet? Would love to see them all play and be healthy for the all A next week.

Professor, I believe Hazard is probably saving him(Hollan) for the All A tourney, he is walking around in a boot, but may try to play next week if needed against Cordia Wednesday, if not they will try and give him another couple days off for the Semi-Finals in All A against Knott

Don't think Perry is (5-3) in the region, they have only played 3 total games in their own region and are (3-0), their losses are to Scott County, Bishop Brossart, and Simon Kenton. Anyways, will be a great match up to watch. Hazard will play 8-10 players and press all over the floor, Perry will have Beverly penatrating and dishing to the big guys down low. Hudson for Hazard can handle one of the bigs, but with 2 6'6" big guys it may be tough for him to defend. If Perry can handle the pressure and get the ball inside, I believe they can come out on top in this one at home. They definitely have to shoot the ball from the 3 a lot better and from the free throw line. Should definitely be a dandy at John C. Combs arena on Friday night. Perry 51 - Hazard 47

Surprised only 2 females on the list? Is Benny Campbell the best the 14th has got to send? Wow. Feel sorry for whoever is getting the 14th in the Regional Tournament.

You really can't count the first step as a step because as you are picking up the dribble you are making that first step, so it really only counts as a half, and then you get one more step and a shot to be legal. If you pick up the ball, then take the first step then the second, it's a walk everytime....because you NEVER GET TWO STEPS, only 1 1/2... contrary to popular belief!!!!

It's just like a jump stop with a step thru, if you do it right it's not a walk....but will have to say I think Wade did walk once in all those shots. Hard to stop that move if you do it right!

If they do it "CORRECTLY" it's not a walk, BUT, it's hard for some to get it right, "THEN IT IS A WALK" They have do be picking up the dribble on the first step then make the step through to make it legal. If they, like most, pick up the dribble first, then make their move and then step through it's a walk then, which is what happens most of the time these younger kids are trying to get away with it. So for some, it's a walk everytime and for some that do it right it's legal. And if you aren't watching their feet when they are picking up the ball, you may not think it is, but there is a little more to it. So yes officials know it's not a walk if it's done right, but a lot of the kids are not doing it correctly.
