One thing I love about watching Gonzaga every year is how early and often their guards advance the ball with the pass.
Seen someone point to this as a refute for fouling up 3...
Ironically this shows fouling up 3 worked.
They just needed to foul up 3... again.
But difficult for kids to know that in the moment.

The cumulative data shows the midrange shot is a poor shot. However, most teams have one player, and some have a couple, who shoot elite percentages from midrange. For a coach to take away the midrange shot from a high-level scorer who has proved to be efficient is just silly.
*Pay your mortgage in the paint and from 3.
*Make your car payment with the midrange.

I see many kids working out like a PRO when theres no need for it right now. Hella dribbles, hella isolation stuff like your Luka or James harden at the top of the key. Aint nobody playing like that. Work on catch & shoot. Catch & drive. Catch & pass & get it back. It TRANSLATES!

abuse your unfair advantage everywhere
everyone has it
> if you live in your mom's basement w no responsibilities, work 12 hr days
> if your know a guy who knows a guy, call that guy
> if your parents paid for ur college, invest your time in up-skilling urself
you were not raised to be a bum
life isnt an even playing field
all the "winners" are not playing fair
to catch up you have to identify your unfair advantage
and abuse it
Unfortunately like half of being a dad is having to pretend like you're not scared of shit that actually scares you because you're kids are watching.

Outnumbered at least 6 to 1, the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry suffered 82% casualties when they heroically charged headlong into enemy forces to shore up a gap in Union lines during the Battle of Gettysburg on this date in 1863.
The role these brave Minnesotans played in preserving the United States of America cannot be overstated.
General Winfield Scott Hancock said that "no soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism," and insisted that "there is no more gallant deed recorded in history."
In a speech in Cannon Falls, MN on the Fourth of July 1928, President Calvin Coolidge said these men's heroism that day entitled them to the rank of "saviors of their country."
The next day, the survivors from the 1st Minnesota helped repel Pickett's Charge and lost another 17 killed and wounded.
Minnesota is in possession of a blood-stained, bullet-pierced Virginia battle flag captured July 3rd.
Virginia has been asking for it back for over 100 years.
Governor Jesse Ventura's response at the White House in 2000: “Why? I mean, we won. … We took it. That makes it our heritage.”

RECOVER FASTER THAN EVERYONE
Lose the day. Come back at night. Miss the gym. Go tomorrow. Waste a week. Win the next one. Get embarrassed. Stay visible. Get rejected. Try again. Fall behind. Move anyway. Stop turning every mistake into a new identity. Stop making failure mean more than it does. Stop disappearing every time life proves you’re still human. The men who win aren’t perfect. They just don’t stay gone.
The cheat code is simple.
Become impossible to keep down.
This post very succinctly captures a thought that I've been trying to express to people for a while and haven't been able to put into words nearly as well as this.
Sure,
American Football is dominant.
Baseball is historic.
Hockey is cool.
But basketball just IS.

It's everywhere.
In school gyms.
In city parks.
In rich kids' driveway.
In poor kids alley ways.
In small town middle-America.
At the beach.
In movies and TV.
It permeates American culture.
In Europe they wear sambas and total 90s.
In the US it's Jordans, AF1s, Chucks & Dunks.
