    First contact is with shoulder, but the contact that displaces Balo is #4’s left elbow to Balo’s right oblique. It’s far more clear on the view from behind. If we are going SUPER letter of the law, it’s a foul on #4. I would never call it unless it was a situation in which I HAD to call...

    Your frames show that balogun was ball-side of the defender and had a right to move his right foot to meet the ball - the same type of play he makes 100 other times during a game when trying to receive a pass. In the second frame, his right foot, the one he was going to trap the ball with, was...

    Watched a few minutes of the Kankakee - East Peoria playoff game. EJ Hazelett from Kankakee kinda stood out. Kid should be Valley all-freshman next season.

    Does one simply "pull up" to catch a basketball game on another continent?

    I feel good about his shooting. There is no rhythm to these FIBA games so far - no need to play the game correctly because the comp is so inferior; ball movement, teammate movement, opposing defender movement is all unpredictable. You get the ball when you don't expect it and vice-versa. He's...

    Lucas Morillo is a multi-read offensive player. He might have an opportunity to be a guy who is allowed to go 1:1 at some point this season. At the very least, he will be encouraged to attack close outs. Ben, on the other hand - seems he was asked to either shoot the basketball or reset...

    Wanted to add - Morillo appears far more likely/ready to contribute than does Ethan Brown. Assessment just from watching some of this game: Brown's team was WAY overmatched. They needed him to be way more assertive for this to be even moderately competitive. Just wasn't that guy on this night...

    I’d never heard of Principia until this year. I looked into their schedule and am surprised they even play in the Missouri association playoffs. Place feels like a La Lumiere, which has two teams - one that plays a national schedule and one that operates as a typical high school team. Principia...

    Louisville being #10 in the AP poll, 18-2 in the ACC and getting an 8-seed in the '25 tourney was BRUTAL. (LOL)

    Dang. Really like all of the potential backcourt adds and think there were enough minutes there. The Vaaks thing makes a ton of sense if we want to play slow again. But I think you need like 73-74 possessions/game (as opposed to 67ish) to try to convince all the guys that they will get shots.

    I need a super cut of the incredible misses we’ve had tonight. It would be like 3:00 long.
