Again Iโ€™m only the messenger. This is from a youth tournament in Kansas City Missouri. Another lovely altercation between emotional coach and referee. Then a kids kicking the ref while heโ€™s down. Everyone is at fault here. You be the judge. SAD! Adults we gotta be better!

Not everyone is D1 and thatโ€™s ok. Maybe you can go JUCO and get to that D1 level. Maybe you can go to a different level and become an All American. Stay 4 years and get a degree. Nothing bad about any of that.

Too many players are so worried about going D1 they look passed good opportunities. The main part after high school is to have the game pave your way to a degree. Get the education. Ultimately if basketball doesnโ€™t work out at least you have that.
