Buzzy is the all-time ACC leader in PPG too, isn’t he? No shot clock or three-point shot then either.

Does anyone know if there are specific dates by which the 2 allowable closed scrimmages must be played?
Is there anything preventing a team from using one before the season and another at some point during the season?

Most exciting part of last nights game for me?
UVA played zone for 5 straight possessions in the 2nd half starting at the 7:01 mark.
Guess how many points they allowed???
Zero!! And zero offensive rebounds allowed.
Weird when you throw a changeup how a fastball hitter might swing and miss. Just weird.

All the legal chatter on the board today reminds me that my wife and I just finished Jury Duty, which was a very funny, very enjoyable TV show. We watched on Amazon Prime. You can also watch on FreeVee. It has commercials, which is very old school.

Damn. He was a baller. Looks like he may have one year of eligibility left! I’m kidding- I’m sure the freshman were ineligible to play Varsity at that time. He could fill it up.

The Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this ā€œwe didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lostā€.

During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this ā€œwe didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lostā€.

Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.

Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful.

They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big.

Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.

The message of this story is, if you don’t change, you shall be removed from the competition.

It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time, you will be eliminated.

Random, but Sam Vecenie’s new podcast cohost, Bryce (Brice?) Simon, played at American under Jeff Jones. Gave him a shoutout today and said he’s recovering. Name came up when talking about movement shooting and Simon noted he mostly shot off sets.

Probably was under J Willy or Pete Maclaughlin or one of the other uva dudes too.

His former cohost Adam Spinella had a Virginia (not uva) connection too

Looked it up: assistants were J Willy, Kieran, and some guy named Mike Brennan. Kieran is still with ODU, right?

Ironic that Simon was one of the first guys on the RD hype train…

Speaking of … anyone notice that sly ā€œfolks from different organizations have reached out about himā€ from J Willy about RD in the last show?

Kieran still with JJ at ODU yes

Yea Jay said people are reaching out asking about RD. Am sure these things happen all the time anyway

Edit: JJ had very successful surgery afterwards and is doing great. Lucky they caught it type thing sounds like

After the first ten times you watch it, the manager/DOBO/whoever, on the right, really steals the show.
