You forgot to mention Houston Wheatley, Yates, Booker T. Washington, and Elmore. They all kicked those schools butt you just mentioned

And yes, there is a bigger entity driving these devils from the top all the way down through high school. The NBA dictates a lot of basketball related moves and it trickles down thru college, prep schools, high schools, etc.

No argument from me but like you said in so many words, it is what it is.

And there are elements of high school that have not changed with the times which leads to the fact that it has become somewhat of an insignificant rec league flava, just going through the motions.

Yep, both have their pros and cons . The master teacher recognizes this and get both to fit as close as possible to work in their system.

I have never met a college coach who talked about defense. They can teach you that. They want somebody who has the potential to score or create a score.

Same here on my smartphone . But it got better last night

I was offering some friendly advice. PAM basketball have guys who aren't scared to play and will get after you on the field... errr I meant court

It's the devil. Defense is stressed more when the teams play in league play with the shot clock.

PAM football need to come out and watch and learn.

Cy woods? Are you kidding me?

In other words, the kid already had the talent and the coaches taking credit, or did I misread you ?

Hmmm, I can foresee another name change in the making.

I have a remedy against refs and their "so-called" bad calls and how to make their calls a non-factor in the game: Make your free throws, don't turn the ball over, make your LAYUPS, and make the majority of your open shots. That formula takes the ref out of the decision of the game 99.9% of the time.

Last wave? Man, you're naming the 2014 class and they're sophomores in college now.

In basketball, from the fan's point of view, you always want to see the stronger teams compete against each other later in the brackets, especially in weaker tournament play. Helps build up the excitement and the gate.

Yeah isn't that all that matters, the playoffs?

yep, what a concept. But I am hoping for an exciting playoff run

hMMM? You didn't mention Westbrook, I wonder why?

Yep, AAU is the devil

No, I'm saying the bracket wasn't strong only because you had only FOUR, 4, FO, 1111, IV, cuatro teams in it.

Ozen wasn't in a tough bracket

Don't forget that times have changed and most of these kids are use to playing 3 games in day during the summer months. But yes, still brutal on the body for a weekend.
