  1. Thanks for everyones help! We ordered one, a 2010 Stealth. I all know is that it is purple, I only pay for it my daughter picked it out. She will have to wait to use because she had to have emergency surgery Friday evening to remove her appendix. Two weeks before she can play.

  2. If Kristian Morgan hadn't hit the shot againist Owen at the end of regulation would we be talking about the foul? The questions can go on and on, but it all ends with the game ending on a whistle. This is how it ended and that is the debate that will be had.

     

     

    Why do you stay home on the biggest night of the year?

     

    What does the Owen game have to do with it? :ohbrother:

  3. I talked with a couple of people the other day (one was from another school) about this. He suggested what they should do is to allow ALL the kids who come out in middle school to play. But, considering Grant's size, he suggested at the very least, they should form their own intermural league with 8-12 kids per team. However, (and I thought this was the big thing) anybody that tries out and makes the "travelling team" CANNOT play on the intermural team. He said this way, you don't have teams featuring one or two "good" players that can dribble, shoot and steal the ball, with the remaining players just running up and down the court.

     

    Same thing with the grade schools. Go ahead and hold tryouts for the traveling team. But with four grade schools, let each school form their own intermural team from the remaining players. He said parents may actually like the intermural system, because one, the games would be closer to home. And two, their kids would actually get to play.

     

    This guy said this would accomplish two things. One, it keeps as many kids as possible interested in playing basketball up until high school. Two, it keeps kids competing against players more or less of the same talent level. (He said the "better" kids won't be challenged by forcing them to "play down". And the "lesser talented" kids won't be frustrated by either, not playing, or not touching the ball.)

     

    Then each year, you have new tryouts for the traveling team (it's not an automatic that if you made it one year, that you make it the next). And if you truly have enough to form two traveling teams, then go ahead and form two teams.

     

    I thought this "solution" might have some merit. And considering one of the guys I was talking to had nearly 15 years head coaching experience, I tend to trust his thinking.
