Will is a sorry individual.

Yep, funny I met him twice when he was at UTC at Kiwanis luncheons and was really impressed with him both personally and professionally. In fact I eve thought he would have been a perfect candidate for us. Must be something in the water in Baton Rouge.

Personally, I’d prefer our coaches to have actually played the game but I’m probably odd like that

If my Dad was still alive and well? No doubt he would still be griping about that. Basketball was his sport in HS. And his number one gripe was free throw misses. But, come to think of it? Even into his 50s and 60s, he could be out in the driveway shooting 85-90% of his FT shots. So I guess he had room to gripe.
Not enough pickup game where the first 10 (or whatever) to make FT played

Gary Parrish said he was looking to get any P5 job while at VCU because league coaches knew what he was doing. He was buying players in that conference.

Wade is a on record discussing paying his players. He is a phony, he wines at every call and we have gotten screwed the last 2 times we played them. He is nothing but a big baby when he doesn’t get his way. If it’s going good he tries to be all goody goody but if it turns bad he is a first class whiner. The world knows that they we’re cheating the fbi tapes have been heard. It’s a farce that nothing was never done, they are letting that go hoping the thing dies down I think it was bigger than they wanted to go. To heck with Will Wade and his childish wussy rants. Kick their arses all over Thompson-Boling!!!!! Go Big Orange!

Free throws are the easiest thing in basketball if you actually practice them. The minimum expectation is only 75%. I wasn’t much of a scorer in high school but I remember someone pointing out to me that I was hitting 84% during my senior year.

Our coach would have three separate time periods throughout practice in which you would shoot 10 free throws each period. Once at the start of practice, once at the middle, and once at the very end of practice. If you made 9 or 10 you were considered +1 for that period, 7 or 8 you were even, anything below 7 and you were a -1. After the three periods you would add up your +/-. The most you could get is +3, the least being -3. All the people with a negative +/- would stand on the baseline, all the people with a positive or even +/- would be at half court. The people with a positive +/- could choose to give away their points to any of the negative +/- people if they were feeling generous, or they could choose to not use them, but they don’t roll over to the next practice or anything. Pretty much you only got saved by other teammates if they deemed you a hard worker and good teammate. For anyone with a negative +/- remaining they would run suicides. I can’t remember the time they gave us to run them, but if we didn’t cross the finish line before the clock went off we had to run them again and again.

We also had a system for layups but I don’t want to activate my PTSD from that 😂
I can remember suicides for missed FTs, finally this dude banked in 2 to save our lives, miracle from heaven.

Will Wade may be one of the whiniest little brats I’ve seen. Pretty sure Mom and Dad didn’t whip that tail enough growing up. He did get a strong ass tail whuppin’ tonight though.
