I hope it gets back to that. When we were growing up, guys my age practiced the outside shot or mid-range jump shot. These kids are practicing how high they can get up on the rim. |
It's just a process and they still have to learn. There's no way to hurry it up. |
Most schools now have rims the breakaway on the side also. It takes less pressure off of the hand (when someone dunks). |
Shaud had a really good game and I think the defense was the main thing. I don't think it was our offensive prowess. Our kids knew they had to come out hard. I told them it was like a summer camp game where you have to be up early and ready to go. They did a good job preparing. |
That's a good basketball team. We knew we would have to play very well to beat those guys. Unfortunately, we came up short. |
The kids were ready to go. We really felt like the other night we should have won the basketball game and we gave ourselves the opportunity to do that … We're going to do the best we can in the bracket we are in. Sixth place is certainly better than watching the rest of the games from the stands. |
The new breakaway rims are expensive. But we think they are worth it to prevent the athletes from hurting themselves. |
We practice against the zone every day. I thought we had enough open shots against it to win, but they didn't go down. |
We've made a name for ourselves by playing tough defense, and I thought we did that again tonight. We just couldn't hit the shots. |
