Being that it was "senior night" on the night we actually played Mansfield Senior was interesting to me.riders1;1089323 wrote:Take care of the basketball and we could have seen an upset tonight. #4 for Senior just dominated us tonight, smallest and quickest guy on the floor and we could not shut him down. Red Rider turnovers were the story. Old Rider and Red Rider 1 you guys just didn't motivate them enough standing in the corner.

BRF just got out of the emergency room at Aultman West (formerly known as Dunlap), diagnosed with a cracked rib from laughing at the "3 Muskatrolls"! And Hardy Har Har, too! Wow!
BTW, RR1: that animated gif you posted is a BRF favorite.....good job.
Another, btw: Coach Knight has always been cordial to me in all the times that I have had the opportunity to speak with him. It's always a pleasure. And what a pleasure it was to see that ESPN video and be able to look forward to more on Friday. People from other BFE's have got to be jealous of being able to say that we know the Big Man. And thus, the "satire".
Well, on to another point.
Last week, I had a chat with my pal (who happens to be the head basketball coach) and I asked him about his thoughts on the new 22 game schedule. He said that he was one of the about 20% opposed to the idea. The other 80% of the coaches went along with it because it means two less days of practice. They hate practice. It's boring, according to the coaches. Just play two more games.
They hate teaching man to man defense because it takes too long. It's easier to just zone up. Plus, with the way kids shoot today, almost all shots are either from 3 point range or inside under the bucket. Shot charts show hardly any mid-range shots. So you just cover the outside shooters and then pack it in under the bucket. Another lost art is shooting off the dribble.
It's a different game today. Oh well.

In the immortal words of WQKT's John Meyer.."that's right, Roy."
