Coaching YSSS on his 6th grade travel team this season should be fun. These boys won their league championship last season; we added two players to a roster of 12 and we are competing in two leagues this season. Not including the occasional scrimmage or playoffs, we play 30 games. Lots 'O' Hoops!
They played 1st game of season this weekend against a team that had it's issues. We beat them easily; playing D inside the 3-pt arc the whole 2nd half as well as making a minimum of 5 passes before a shot for half the game. Won by 28. Could've been 58 if I was that sort. YSSS finished with 5 pts, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and a blocked shot. No fouls either. Never seen that before. The game was a good opportunity to play boys at the end of the bench if you get my drift.
OSSS is playing for his HS frosh team. Interesting. I have seen a scrimmage and their opener. My opinion is my own; I don't think their coach knows much about basketball. They don't make adjustments (ever) and play a pretty straightforward rec type offense and defense. I hope they get better. OSSS was absent the day before game 1, so he didn't get in until the 2nd half (at least I hope that's the reason...he's better than most of the kids on the team)...finished with 2 pts (1 for 2), 3 assists, 3 rebounds in about 9 minutes on the court. He was one of the more solid players. That's a guy watching basketball talking, not dad.
