What did I answer, that there aren't a bunch of coaches in the stands?

That everyone and their momma, except you, knows that there is no decent defense played this year or any year. If there was a decent amount of defense you'd see people who had the first clue about basketball going regularly.

yeah Coach K use to show up for our driveway pickup games when the defensive intensity picked up. LOL Seriously though why would good college coaches show up at the rocky top league no matter what kind of defense is played?

There you go again, "decent defense", I never used this term. Simply said its better than years past, reading comprehension is definitely a trait you don't have.

And I am simply telling you it's just as ****ing bad this year as any other year. McRae scoring 40 should be enough proof. Let alone 64.

But defense is better, right? No wonder you don't get laughed out of here.

Someone said earlier you're not worth arguing with, I should've listened.

I'll take that as a white flag.

Enjoy watching the RTL next year. If defenses keep progressing, you might see scores in the 20s.

If there was NO defense scores would be in the 200's and shots wouldn't be missed very often. I saw multiple blocks and steals, and some teams actually communicating and switching on the defensive end. Do some llayers play harder D than others, YES. Do some gus pick and choose when to, ABSOLUTELY. However, the frequency of half way decent defense for a pick up game being played is much higher this year than others, THAT'S ALL. Go watch the championship tonight, if you don't think bobby maze is playing D then you're hopeless.

Go watch soccer, I hear there's some great 0-0 games.

So switching on a ball screen is good communication that only happens in good defensive leagues?

Keep this up please.

Once again your reading comprehension is the level of a 2nd grader, which judging by your replies is probably pretty accurate. Go watch the Harlem Globetrotters play thats no defense, the RTL is nowhere near lacking the defense the Globetrotters are.

The local Y has the same amount of defense that the RTL does, if not better. They communicate on ball screens and I've seen a block or two. That good defense?

And could you have found a dumber example?

Lmao, let the guys at the local Y get out there then, they'll be laughed off the court. There's a reason you're no name players in the RTL aren't the ones blowing up. Yes the D is lacking, but If you think you could go out there and drop 20 against bobby maze I'll gladly take you up on that.

The no names aren't scoring because the others are taking inordinate amount of shots. My God, how dense can you be?

Pretty sure that was touched on as to why we were there in the first place. Secondly, if there was a modicum of defense, coaches would show up. Not regularly of course.

im pretty sure tennessee has some sort of representation there and them other colleges might have too but I dont seen why other coaches would show up no matter what

I don't really want in the middle of this, but I have to ask. What coaches exactly would be showing up at games predominately comprised of kids that are either already in school or have completed their eligibility? I could see a high school coach showing up to maybe watch on old player or Martin (or one of his staff) swinging by, but the notion that if these games were played at a high level then big name coaches (or no-name coaches for that matter) from other schools would attend them is kind of far fetched. What would be the point?

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't coaches (UT coaches at least) barred from going to the RTL? I mean Pearl was able to come just because his son was playing at the time, but he could only watch Steven's game. But honestly, I think they aren't able to attend d/t NCAA regulations. Now, high school coaches are allowed to come IIRC.

I think they changed that rule. I could swear, I saw somewhere that current coaching staffs could now attend the games.

edit: found a link. about 6th paragraph. Vols playing bigger roles in Rocky Top League » GoVolsXtra

I think they can because High School guys are not playing this yr and they were playing in previous yrs.

Coaches like watching good games in the sport they coach, no?
