And don't allow them to dunk.

I've seen some kids that had this ability.  So far, I've seen a kid that consistantly gets this midrange pullup jumper on fast break transition, and that's C. Williams for Ozen.  I have yet to see him miss it.  Maybe he needs to do it more.

I'm all for a skilled big man, myself.  It makes it soo much easier on the rest of the team when you have one.  Look at Perkins when he was at Ozen.

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1154617" timestamp="1325739554"] [quote author=BMTSoulja1 link=topic=93640.msg1154605#msg1154605 date=1325737766] You say 'some'.  Is it me that you're talking about?  8) 8) [/quote] not just you..  That's why I said "some"...You are the only one I mention it for in the broadcast, because you ask every game about it...I'm sure you don't really care one way or another....i say we agree to disagree [/quote]I really don't have anything against dunking.  My point is that a dunk is worth the same as a layup.  Durring the H-J/Central meeting, I recall some of the posts of H-J players marveling about dunks by H-J.  #10 had multiple dunks and they then started a dunk tracker.  I then mentioned that a kid from Central got a couple as well.  It was meant to be a joke...  a jab in the ribcage, so to speak.  ;D Fans were making the dunk into more than 2 points on the board.  That's why I've been jabbing at H-J a few times. 

Ok, I can play devil's advocate here.  What a dunk CAN do is send a message to a certain player or to the other team.  You dunk in a halfcourt set (at any level of basetball, getting dunked on is the most embarrassing single thing you can experience).  Kid will dunk in the game.  A one handed throw down on a give and go.  The defender didn't jump but saw this kid dunk.  The dunker then runs down court and gives him a quick 'look' (that means when I go to the paint next time, you don't want to try and jump).  And that's what'll happen.  Seeing  how high this kid got, you wouldn't want to risk embarrassment and be the butt of jokes all week throughout the school and town by getting 'posterized'.  and yes, there are players with these kind of 'hops' in this area.  K. Smith from Central and Prudhomme from H-J just to name a few that I've seen.  My point is that you get an uncontested dunk vs a contested layup.  EVERYONE thinks they can block a layup/floater.  That's why you rarely see blocked dunks but you almost always see blocked layups.  How's that for playing both sides of the fence?  8)

When did Stump mention this move was about the money?  I never did read anything about this.

UNLESS you're the H-J basketball team.  8)

I'm with AAW.  It's 2 points.  A reverse dunk is the same as a scoop layup off the glass.

I know that's right!  8)

Central and Nederland are 2-0 in district with the first district meeting on Tuesday.  Possible trap game for either one on Friday?

Way to get it done, Dogs!  It was a rivalry game and you treated it like a regular game...  Now THAT's a good team.

I don't know, Zeek.  No disrespect, but Ozen is not a good gauge for the Bears.
