@HD_DirtKing I think the bigger issue is that misspelled “counselor”

@ZakBoisvert As someone who has made the transition the other way, the answer is no. Your best shot at bagels that are somewhat close is getting them on the North side of Indy. In Indiana, you have to get used to having biscuits.

Basketball player Landis Sims was born with no hands, or legs below his knees. "I got more frustrated when I was younger," he said. "I mean, I like it when people tell me I can't do something, so I can just prove them wrong." Don't tell him he can't ball. indystar.com/in-depth/sport…

Oklahoma State basketball walk-on Dee Mitchell had been paying his way through school by working at Walmart. His coach surprised him with a scholarship while he was at work ❤️ (via @OSUMBB)

@oldplayercoach @JWReamer @Zach3Hahn Remember we talked about this? Jk lol. Rose’s brother threatened to pull them and the organizers said they had to finish the game. We scored the first possession and then DRose held the ball right over half court for rest of the game. No Gordon at that time (He player for IE)

I’ve had a lot of players reaching out wanting a few at home workouts. Being stuck inside is no reason to not continue to get better and be working on your athletic foundation. This workout can be done with your body weight around your home.

@CoachVear @PickAndPopNet @FastModel @HalfCourtHoops How many steps does he get to get into his shot while he has the ball? I count 5. Agree with the momentum point but I think it might have been more of an issue with the pass on both points

@PickAndPopNet The step through post picking up your dribble definitely has a gender bias to it. Guys can get away with it in HS but it’s like a Princeton Backdoor layup in a girls game, esp at lower levels. It’s viewed as a sign of a mature, higher skill level player.
