Hate to see this. RIP Coach

Chris Reynolds comes top of mind. 

Pat Fitzgerald might have the free time now. 🤢🤮

That Kane dude is not doing bad

Excuse my French, but we really just need to come out and f^@k these boys up. Backyard/parking lot type ass whooping. 
 

Its time.

I don't know if any of you care about girls hoops, but the Noblesville sectional tonight and tomorrow is ridiculous.

#2 ranked Noblesville plays #3 ranked Fishers in the first game followed by

#4 ranked Hamilton Southeastern plays #5 ranked Zionsville

Sounds like my HS football sectional back in the day. #1, 2, 4, and 8 in the state all grouped together. Stupid.

For those of you that like the 7 o'clock tip times, are you hitting the 4 o'clock buffet at the Mall for dinner? 

What mall has a 4pm buffet?

Arent you from Beech Grove? Thought you have said that before. 

You squeezed by us in the morning game of the regional last year. 

No but I have family there. I’m from the east Indy but went a couple years of HS and graduated on the south side. Beech Grove was in the middle. I didn’t even know BG played basketball until last year

Painter in attendance for Brownstown vs North Harrison. 

Forgive my ignorance as I don’t follow HS hoops as much. Is Brownstown pretty good?  Must be with Painter there. 
 

I worked Columbus and Seymour for a decade until this last year. Didn’t really know of Brownstown until I just googled it.

Reminded me of his games against Kofi at UI. He owned TJD until Woody called him out for being scared in the last meeting.

He needs to kick out quicker then resettle for a reentry against those 7 footers. Not bitching but bigger guys have always been a struggle for Jackson-Davis

I think that all is good when we get our NBA guard back. 
 

I also remember Bob Knight losing games in December. 
 

We matchup better next week vs KS. They don’t have a big. 

I like love JHS more and more every game. We have a bad ass PG. I love him on defense better than O. 
 

We’ll be back. Soon. 

Assuming JHS plays:

Concordia have chain link looking fence at the top of their gym? 

Don’t think I ever saw their gym. We were using their outdoor facilities (track and baseball field) and on occasion their weight room at like 6am. We didn’t go in the school very often. 
 

Our first 2.5 weeks of fall ball every year we just went straight to that track and ran to we puked everyday. We’d play our first fall ball game every year and hadn’t even touched a bat, ball, or glove yet. It was horrible. I’ve probably ran a 1,000 poles on that baseball field too.

FW Concordia's Avery Cook sank 3 FTs with no time on the clock to beat Carroll 52-51.  It was Eugene Parker night to dedicate a new basketball court.

Good for them.  Concordia was always good about letting us use their facilities during my college baseball days. Have puked many times on that damn track during fall ball. 

Quick hot takes:

Malik is a beast.

Kopp is Kopp. True per usual. No replacement though.

What player is Hood exactly? He’s not a shooter for sure? He doesn’t get to the rack either.  Bunch of turnovers combined with mediocre defense. Not trying to be too critical…

I think the truth is that Calipari knows 6,000 fans in the PNW probably won't be as much as a factor as 17,000+ who all hate your school. Assembly rattled Anthony Davis and Terrance Jones and it was visible on their faces. There aren't many places in the SEC he has to deal with anything close to that. He lost that game because he couldn't calm his guys down and couldn't communicate with them due to the noise. All calculations to never bring a group of underclassmen to AH again. 

Gonzaga only sits 6,000 people. Who would want to go there?

I grew up with Lance. Used to deliver papers to his parents house 

Tell him I say hello. Hersh is one of the craziest people I’ve ever met. Scared of airplanes, though. He’d get us there, then leave us stranded on the bus. Very true. Sucked because we’d have won one or two with him. Demoralizing although we still performed. The ball goes hella far in Idaho, myself along with many teammates can confirm.

“I recruit GD beer drinkers, not fucking milk drinkers”

Malone at BSU, who I was originally committed to, told Hersh we were “gamers” after hanging 20 on them. Hersh’s response, as I’m sure you can imagine (and I’ll do this in my best raspy voice): “Gamers? The fuck is that supposed to mean? Gamers? You can take gamers and shove it up your ass. Fuck you. We’ll beat your ass in the GD fucking parking lot”.

True story. Our World Series banners are true too. I could fill your day with Hersh stories. Loved him some Bill Russell. Learned a lot about Russell/winning from Hersh.

For the young who didn’t get to witness Bills greatness not just on the court but off it.

A good write up on his life!

21 - 0 in winner take all games.

Nothing I can say to do this man justice. RIP 

Biggest pair of brass balls a sporting arena has ever seen. Dude just refused to lose. Hersh would talk about the heavy favorited Lakers showing him their champagne and Russell saying “fuck that”.  And then, of course, he took that ‘Chip, too. 
 

What a legend. Maybe my favorite. I was just telling my grandkids about Russell/winning last weekend 

Bling, bling. 
 

More rings than fingers. Probably has pinky rings with chips. 
 

One of Lance Hershberger’s favorites. My college baseball coach, and he’d always reference Russell during our 4 World Series trips. 

The world’s greatest winner ever: Bill Russell. Jordan doesn’t even hold that title.

Shout out to the Roncalli softball team. This newspaper in front of me (yes, newspaper) says they’re #1 in the nation. That’s badass 

I think that Cal would be dumb to schedule IU at this point. His seat is already hot enough without losing to IU. On the flip side, if he should win 🤮, then I don’t think it really helps him that much.

The risk/reward balance isn’t favorable for Cal.  Especially considering that Woody will have IU rolling soon.
