Xs and Os (not Jimmys and Joes)
Finally you grasp this concept. Worth considering that the difference between average ish pace and last ish pace is only a little over a second. Itâs almost like pace is irrelevant.

Message to the haters. Listen up haters, and see if this truth bomb gets through that thick skull of yours.
Those of us who typed that Cofie looked like a potential NBA player at the beginning of the season have Sam V on our side.
Cofie started the season on fire and looked like a potential one-and-done player. However, he cooled off as the season progressed, looking more like a terrific first-year starter who will take some time to develop to get to the next level.
Looks like another L for the haters.

Matas, RD, Hough, Xaivian, Bol Bowen, and the worst big in this yearâs transfer portal.
Think this was at Babson, and unfortunately never made it to Perkâs YouTube or to Hudl, at the time.
Trivia time! #5 nailing the step back is RD. Who is #12 for Mt Zion, defending?
Thatâs RJ Luis, who played for the Johnnies and is now in the portal / draft

âWe need to enable refs more leeway so things donât get out of control with reviews / unnecessary calls, etc.â
NCAA- âOkay we hear you, but what if we start with a nutsack-related experiment on this?â

This is hilarious ⊠how far has officiating deteriorated that we donât have people in the business who are willing to eject people on non basketball acts?
Shoot - in a college game in 2003 - I kicked a dude out for tripping a dude on purpose. He had slipped and fallen down and the opponent stole it and was on his way for a fast break⊠dude on the ground reached out his leg and tripped him and he was gone - just like that. Find the knuckle head in your game and get him out⊠itâs what I taught young officials too⊠never let the wrong guy mess up the game as itâs meant to be playedâŠguys like Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson and Draymond Green and KCP wouldnât last 5 minutes in my gamesâŠ. Foul, foul, foul - you got three and sit down⊠Coach keeps you in??? Foul! Go sit down⊠now the players who actually want to play basketball will play.
Elbow to the back off ball when you think no one is watching? Foul and a comment - donât do that again.
These NBA playoffs are being officiated by a bunch of guys who seem like either they didnât play or they werenât the skill guys if they didâŠ
Or the league told them to let all the skill guys get beat up for some reasonâŠ
I would imagine gambling and all the money tied in with gambling probably has something to do with refs being unwilling/hesitant to have a quick trigger for ejecting dudes.
The more the game is a big-money entertainment product, the more the refs are going to be reluctant to take away the entertainers that the fans paid to see.
Though I wish that wasnât the case.

So it seems we have to get coaches not to have birthdays in their mid fifties while in Hooville.
0 for 3 on keeping mid life crisis guys now in the last 4 years.

Over the last several months Iâve listened to several hours of podcasts on the Mongols (Fall of Civilizations and Hardcore History), and I have very few takes, to be honest. I mean - they seem scary. I guess just hope the drunk one is about to drink himself to death right before they invade you.
It kinda seemed like the moment all the Droid armies shut off in Star Wars.

My take is write down your succession plan before going into battle. Or just in general.
In other Hardcore History appreciation, I finally worked my way through Supernova in the East. The Pacific Theater, a bad place to be (even compared to the alternatives at the time)!

Both of those podcasts are bad ass!
You sir have excellent taste in 4+hour (and often multi-part) shows.
May need Jazz to spin us up a thread.
