As I sit in the top row of the bleachers to watch my son wrestle, I continue to be disappointed w/parents behavior at HS events. U are not the coach & the underpaid official who gave up his nite, isn’t trying to cheat. Sit back and enjoy the moment, it wil be over b4 u know it!

The fact that Tom Izzo is being chastised for coaching a player hard should tell you a little bit about where we are as a society. #soft

If HS coaches are constantly putting pressure on athletes to attend their HS sport specific summer team events, aren’t they to blame for specialization in HS sports? Some HS coaches need to ask themselves if they are part of the problem or the solution. Stop blaming others!

If you are a parent of child involved with youth sports and you are not a coach..Sit in your car until practice is over! If you sit in the bleachers and shout instructions at your child, the coaches dislike you and your child thinks you are annoying!

Attended 20+ HS gms this yr. If you can pass, catch, pivot, value the ball and play off two feet, you can start for any of the teams I watched. Youngsters need to get in the gym and work on their skill set.

Parents & AAU hoop ‘coaches’ that play more games than practice sessions-You’re not a coach. You’re a Chaperone! The HS game is suffering at an incredible rate. Contact your local HS coach for advice, they will help! #nofundamentals

People hv asked how my son wrestles coming from a hoops background where dad/uncle played/coach. It’s never been about me or what sports I wanted my kids involved in. I think it’s important to expose kids to different activities because you never know where their passion may lie

No reason the district should notify the students of school cancellation in advance...These kids need to get their ass up at 530am and patiently watch the ticker at bottom of the screen to see if their school shows up and then they get to go back to bed! #howthingsusedtobe

Hell of a game with dudes from both teams who left it out there. What’s amazing is you never heard a DU coach/player talk abt being short handed or make excuses. Those guys battled their asses off in a tough spot & nvr flinched when adversity hit. 2 best teams in state to watch

Youth basketball has allowed ‘for profit’ organizations to ruin the game. Continuous clock, limited fouls/violations called, full ct press, zone & shooting 2 for 1 foul shots 🤦‍♂️ Solution: Play 3vs3 -diminish the overemphasis of winning tournaments. Adopt USA Basketball Rules!!

Truly mind blowing the high quality basketball goals in driveways/parks that get zero use. Do young kids even know what an individual workout is? Parents/Chaperones should explain the value of self driven players to these kids and get the hell out of their way!

Signing Day is a good reminder of how difficult it is to receive a scholarship at any level. Youth parents should take a look at their local HS to see how many athletes signed “D1”. The reality is they aren’t going “D1” so enjoy the present & the future will take care of itself!

Got my weekly dose of watching youth girls coaches press, foul and continuously run multiple defenders to the ball. You are truly amazing coaches according to your record (or some website ranking you’re proud of) but winning has outweighed the importance of fundamentals. #yousuck

All Youth basketball should be 6 vs 6. Absolute genius concept by the state of IA Girls Union back in the day. Parents wouldn’t like it because Jane /Johnny wld be exclusively on defense for extended time but fundamentals wld improve drastically. Two dribble rule is phenomenal

Provide different opportunities for your youngsters, it’s not about you- your playing days are over (if you ever played). Kids can develop a tremendous amount of discipline and competitiveness in many different sports and it never hurts them to be a role player on various teams.
