That's my basketball team's record. We lost a heartbreaker at the buzzer today, 22-20. With 10 seconds left, we stole the ball, and one of my boys went up for a 3; and got fouled. You get 3 foul shots, he made 2 - tie game. Then with 4.6 seconds left the other team inbounded and their best player (he's actually the best player in the league) ran the court and took an 8 ft jumper with the clock ticking. Nothing but net. Good shot, good win. Hats off to the other team.
In case I never mentioned it, I also coach a clinic team of boys in 1st and 2nd grade. My youngest son is in 2nd, and this is his last year playing at this level. This is a good group of boys, but the level is 100% not organized well - I have 12 boys and 1 assistant coach. Every other team has 10 boys and three coaches total. Rough. As all my teams in hoops, we are Tenacious D, and I don't mean Jack Black's side project. I can't wait until this is finished and we're on to baseball all the time.
I like basketball, don't get me wrong. When I was a lad, I used to attend the Pocono Invitational Basketball Camp annually. But my Irish genes stopped me just short of 6' - so when I got to HS, it was adios, muchacho. In my town, the people running hoops would seem to have agendas. Oh well, I'll survive.
So while I'm on my soapbox - it's time to begin a new blog soon, exposing the unrelenting BS that occurs in my town's government. I'm still mulling it over - but the dominoes are falling.
Tick, tick, tick.
