If they do have a good youth program and something goes amiss in those years(8th-9th), then that is a sad situation, especially for the kids. Hopefully they can find a solution to transition from the younger ages to HS. [/quote]Actually, HF dominates in the pre-9th grade [/quote]I think that may be due to the fact that UOS isnt as dominant at that time.[/quote]I know my older kid was coming home sore from weights and gym work. And trust me, the HF team needs more gym time than weight time.[/quote]Very true for nearly every basketball team that wants to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east texas bb Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 True, you need both, but if you have to sacrifice one it has to be weights. Skills are a must to be successful in basketball. No way around it. The ideal is to do weight lifting appropriate lifts that will increase the skills enhancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east texas bb Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Still got one and the weights to go with it. I hadnt thought about jumping on it anytime soon though! Those angle jumps are a beast. We had a red one and by the time we was done with, the paint was wore off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Your mom would have told you to say "worn off" in lieu of "wore off".Did Coach Hand personally use that machine? When he used to stomp the floor, the boom that was created suggested a very strong leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east texas bb Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Im from East Texas, and "wore off" has a certain ring to it, but yes my mom would have corrected me. Coach Hand had me jump on it but I dont remember him ever getting on it. I think he went out each year and bought the best shoes that would make the best "stomp". What is funny, when I was at Troup the "stomp" was never brought up, or even anything I ever thought of. When I coached at Huntington with him is when I started to recognize his use of "the stomp". One year they had shirts made that had something about "the stomp" on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenash Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have the same recollection. No Troup stomp, but one heck of Huntington stomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
