HJ has one player who did not begin his 4 year varsity player at HJ. How will that apply to HF next season, or for that matter, this season. As for kids pursuing ( not perusing) a college education, the k-12 education system was not intended to become a road to a college basketball scholarship. You know what the intent and the spirit of the guidelines are. Do you think HF is adhering ( that means following) to them? There is also a rule on this board that an individual can have only one board identity. Do you think everyone is following that rule?

Are you saying that those that you mentioned who "already lived there" have been Hamshire residents for a long time?(as in several years) I strongly suspect the tax rolls, historical school attendance records and county records will say otherwise.

If what you say is correct, that means that HF will do undefeated in district next year, right?

I dont believe making a statement about the virus and the impact it has on ones health speaks to anyone being a liar. I am more than confident that the statement I made in the aforementioned post is correct. Do you disagree with it? If so, please elaborate as I am interested to see if your medical knowledge has the same depth as your knowledge of the Koran.

Wait, no comparisons (aka whatabout) allowed.

Impressive

She doesnt believe there is a need for proof, just like all of the left. They believe if they make a serious allegation, that makes it true. Good example: Donald Trump colluded with the Russians over the presidential election. Muller could find no proof, but they have stated it so many times, to them it is totally true.

UT Alum- is the article provided by Hagar just propaganda?

Deaths do NOT come from the coronavirus. Its simply an upper respiratory issue. Deaths DO come from those with some other existing condition before the virus is acquired. Same thing happens with the flu. If you are a healthy individual, the flu and/or corona virus is very unlikely to cause your death. Every day people with other issues go into the hospital after getting the flu and wind up passing because of pneumonia.

In the final three minutes, HJ also played without their starting post.

Since you are so insightful regarding deficits and debts, can you tell me why Trumps predecessor increased the debt more than all of his predecessors combined? Can you tell me why Trumps predecessor was the only President ever to preside over a debt rating downgrade for the United States.? The market drop doesn't bother me. I have been through it many many times and EVERY time following the drop, the market moves on to new highs.

Only when he thinks it benefits him

Yes he did. His father is a coach for the girls team.

He began his career as a freshman at HJ and will likely finish it there by being in the program four consecutive years. Still very interested for you and/or Magic Johnson to tell me what local basketball schools can say the same.

please name the school who has a good basketball program with less than one "murderer" Your contention of "aau pipeline" is totally disproven with these numbers.

The " discussion" to which you refer involved some Yates fans mocking the coach embracing his senior son who fouled out of his last game. Very long journey for young man whose life was in doubt when he was born. Funny thing about your perception of disrespect. Especially since the kid has never been close to a technical in any high school game he ever played. Another poster on this board, who I do not know, stated that the tech was unnecessary. I was speaking with an official within the athletic dept of HISD after the game and his response was " some refs develop extremely sensitive ears" in games. I was quite close to the player/ref when the tech was called and I have no recollection of any overt action by the player. But, of course, I am an HJ fan and may not have seen something that happened. Just an FYI- the ref who called the technical was the same ref who called the technical on the HJ coach earlier and was the same ref having extended conversations with Mr. Wise before the game. I noticed that if the Yates girls and the HJ girls win their semi-s tonight, they will play tomorrow.

HJ has one player out of 15 varsity players and another 20 sub varsity players who has not been with the program AT LEAST since their freshman years. Just wondering, Magic Johnson, can you say the same about the school with whom you affiliate yourself?

You are correct, you dont know the HJ coach and you have no earthly idea how he deals with technicals. ( this one was the only technical ever given to this player in over 100 varsity and another 50 sub varsity games) The coach, long ago, implemented a policy ( so the players and other interested parties know in advance of the consequences) that results in suspensions from subsequent games. My opinion is that is a better option and teaches a better lesson than screaming and yelling at a player in front of his friends and families. As you said, that is my personal opinion. That policy has been in force and adhered to for a number of years.

yes and yes

We always hear about wage and wealth inequality. The 500 richest people on this earth lost $400 billion this week. How much did those at the opposite end of the spectrum lose? Who was the bigger loser?

So the coach was "pretty much entertained by that"? In what way was he " pretty much entertained"? It was the kids 5th foul and the last game of his career so there was no need to jerk him off the court. The coach has a full minute to determine the substitute and the player is to remain on the floor until his substitute has been selected. He was the coaches son who, at a young age nearly lost his life and it has been a very long journey for the father/son. Hence the embrace which was belittled and mocked by some folks directly behind the HJ bench and the coach took issue with it. I'm sure you would have handled it differently, right?

If its uneven and unfair for everyone, then it is actually even and fair, right?

What player was disrespectful? To whom was he disrespectful? In what manner he display his disrespect? By the way, I happen to know that HJ has a policy that deals a punishment for technicals in subsequent games. That policy is far more effective than some bit of acting on the court to mollify people such as yourself.

So, if you can, why can't I? Oh wait, I think i know. My comments waste space but yours don't?

To what uneveness do you refer?
