AAU officiating is at an all time worst. The lack of effort, professionalism and desire to do their job is bothersome to me. The only thing they are passionate about is making sure players jerseys are tucked in their shorts.
HS hoopers do y’all understand how much a year of college is right now?
My D1 college is charging 56k a year…what y’all need to start asking yourself…is my work ethic, attitude, skills, and game play ability worth 56k a year.
Be honest with yourself that’s the only way.
Public school organizations have got to do better at showcasing the talented basketball players you have in your schools. All the restrictions and saying no to things that will help them get to college is why so many seek private school opportunities.
A lot of parents are fighting the wrong war. Parents will go to war with a coach over playing time but their kids are walking around with less than a 2.0 gpa. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me Hoops can only take your children so far. Knowledge is Power!!!
Hoop trainers are really trying to teach creativity and instincts, I don’t think that’s possible. Can we get back to having open gym to improve our players, these warehouse gym created players are tough to watch.
Also, not every drive to the basket have to have a euro step.
Let’s get back to teaching the game of basketball correctly in 2022. Let’s stop teaching all these moves and shots that are only good during a game of HORSE. Most of the nonsense these kids learn they won’t be asked to do in a real game nor can they pull it off in a game.
Hoping to get recruited u have to answer these three questions.
1. Why do u want to play in College?
2. What do u have to offer a college program?
3. Are u putting in the work right now that warrants at least 50k a year? Is your work ethic 50k worthy?
@jbetz1738
Damn Klay you never learn rule number one to being a player. Get away from bums!!! Why are u trying to dunk on Danny Green? Bad players will hurt u every time.
There are about 29 D1 schools 2-4 hours from the DMV area. If none of them are contacting you that means you aren’t on that levels radar and you need to keep working on your game. They all can’t be blind to your talent!!!
Until a kid has played major VARSITY minutes everything is hype, and potential. MS, Freshman, And JV Hoops don’t count, they are all one step above hooping at lunch with dudes wearing cargo shorts and skinny jeans.
How to get minutes if you’re on the bench…..
WATCH THE GUY IN YOUR SPOT PLAYING. When he does it right do that, when he mess up do what the coach said for him to do.
Guys on the bench stay on the bench cause they don’t pay attention while on the bench.
Wilson Tigers are DCIAA 2022 UNDEFEATED REGULAR SEASON CHAMPS!! 🐅🐅🐅
Great season so far but basketball is all about the tournament. Enjoy this accomplishment but it’s all or nothing moving forward.
Everyone wants to start and get all the minutes but the most important guys are the guys that maximize their few minutes for the teams benefit. Less is always more...be the guy that knows everything, plays hard, rarely makes negative plays and encourages his teammates.
Hey
@davgking05
congrats on all your success, over the past 3 years I have enjoyed watching you play. That’s rare for me to say but you’re special. Let me be the first to Welcome you to the Hall of fame. In time your plague will hang next to mine. Good luck at the next level.
HS Hoopers stop seeking hype and attention seeking being the best!!!
Let other people hype u, u don’t need to post your stats, especially when your team loss majority of the games.
Let’s get back to establishing What’s special, not everything and everyone is special.
HS Players since u feel you need a trainer remember they work for you. Never be afraid to ask “why” you’re doing something, “what” is the purpose, “How” it’s going to help you.
It’s your money, and time so u should be working with a purpose.
@vettepassby35
Accountability would solve a lot of problems but nobody wants to stand on their nonsense. There is nothing wrong with sayin I messed up but I know better now or I thought that was cool but I know better now. Everyone wants to be a know it all yet can’t handle being wrong.
My HS coach always told me never believe the articles. You’re never as bad as they say and you’re never as good as they say. Now?? Folks are drunk off preseason hype. The Cream always rises to the top and the Frauds will be exposed soon... the season is here!!
#SINKorSWIM
In tonight’s game halfway through the 1st half
@dbuchananjr2
went over 1000 point mark. Going into Sunday’s Championship game he has 1009 points in 3 years, just think if covid didn’t rob him of a JR. Yr.
College announcement tomorrow STAY TUNED!!! I think I know!!!!
School beginning for most and to all the hoopers please get off to a good start, start acting different, start new habits and start winning in the classroom. Winter will be here before u know it. Dont want to be paying $5 to sit in the stands cause your grades are poor.
Kids don’t understand when they are given an offer or accept a scholarship from a university each time u step on the court you have to prove yourself. You have to want to prove yourself, show why you have what u have if not you taking it all for granted and it can be taken away
WILSON TIGERS CHAMPS…AGAIN!!!
Great team win but shout out to
@marvin2BBall
he came to hoop today. Believe he should have been all DCIAA but he a champion.
We finished the mission!!! Now on to STATES!!’
@5678matic
Never understood marriage counseling. If we love each other and We can’t communicate without a third party I really don’t think we should get married in the first place.
Just a thought… the
@HayfieldBball
program has been and will always be an “exclusive” club. To say you’re a Hawk means something!!!
Just a Hall of Famer flexing!!!
Media Day tomorrow!!! My goal is to take better pics this year. Haircut, a few push-ups beforehand and nicer smile hahaha. LETS GO TIGERS!!! Come see about the 3x DCIAA CHAMPS and 2x DCSAA finalist got brewing for 2020!!! 6pm!!
Players go to trainers to learn how to play basketball. All they are working one on one moves to get to the basket.
Funny thing when it’s time to play a real game guys can’t seem to get those dribble moves to work or go by anyone to score consistently
Just an Observation
I just watched both David A Arnold’s Netflix comedy specials recently, his last special with him speaking to his family was touching. Seems like he was just getting his shine at 54 and my daughter loves Lay lay!! RIP gone to soon.
This is what kids do in workouts now… Come off the ball screen, retreat, come off the screen again,snake dribble, step back, behind the back dribble, between the legs, euro, jelly layup.
Hahaha what team is going to allow u to do this and allow u to do it to them.
Hayfield vs Patriot at VCU Friday night!!! I will be there to see the only game worth the entry fee.
Whoever is officiating the please let these team hoops. Nobody is there to see y’all. No more phenom offensive fouls like in the Madison game.
Congrats to
@CoachLosP
and the
@HayfieldBball
squad. Another banner for the wall now it’s off to winning the big one. Don’t see why not go back to back!!!
All this time away from hoops, players and coaches better return to the gym with maximum passion and effort. As a coach I talk about URGENCY...“ go get it now because what if this is your last time to hoop” well this was a sneak peek. Never know when it will all be gone.
A little throw back to when guys competed nightly to prove who was the best. It was really no days off!! The best performed nightly. Iron really sharpens iron cause I would race to the Post to see what other guys did so I could try to match or beat them the next game.
Still trying to understand how a VHSL employee mid game comes to the bench trying to correct players uniform that the officials on the court have allowed. Nobody has done this all season and why not check all uniforms before the game like mma?
Simple summer workout, it’s not hard..
Run 2 miles per day 7-9 minute pace per mile.
5 mins of jump rope
Gym or outside make 500 shots
Find a friend Play 1 on 1, and 3 on 3 with three dribble limit. Play for sprints, or even cash but compete.
Now go get better!
Ok
@HayfieldBball
time to finish the mission. Great win tonight but we got enough regional chips, go do something NOBODY has ever done. Win the last game of the year…great seeing all my teammates and other foundational Hawks in the building.
Always a great game against Philly Pride but
@DC_Premier_
16u pulls out a close 67-66 win this morning.
@rfmari3x
lead the way with 25 big points, game winning free throws, alongs with 6 Rebs and 5 assist
Why 90 percent of drives to the basket the player have to do a euro step? Most of the time it’s not needed, a simple finish is all u need, I wish Manu published a handbook on how to do it!!
Game cancelled tonight!!!! Disappointed is an understatement but there is a lot happening right now. Safety first, we have a lot of basketball to play so let’s rest up…hope to see this through!!!
Hey remember when you had to be consistently good to get someone to write about u as a player? Nobody wanted to attach their name to just anything now everyone is a fan of everyone.
They said Wilson was “REBUILDING” this year...no way!! We have a bunch of young guys that is championship breed and we grinded. Fell a little short last night but our number 1 goal is upon us now!!!
#TigerPride
#WhiteBannersAreBetter
Happy Heavenly Birthday to my dad Ken Miles. Thinking about him today made me think of something he told me when I would tell him my dreams. “CONCEIVE it, BELIEVE it, and ACHIEVE it. “ I have to get back into this practice.
As we get closer to hoop season just a thought for the hoopers…winter time hoop is totally different than AAU and preseason. It’s tougher when the scouting reports roll out. You have to produce when the game plan is designed to stop u. Don’t take the winter off wishing for AAU
Hey Good Luck to my
@HayfieldBball
squad. Don’t really need it y’all winning this thing by a dub. Great team and proud of my teammate and homie
@CoachLosP
on leading the way. If I couldn’t do it, so glad you getting it done. Not a better dude!!!
Back when public school was REAL in northern VA. Yes that is a triple double by me. Everything I try to coach others to do I actually did it on a high level.
A major hurdle was avoided today…THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Let me get ready for Tomorrow WILSON VS. COOLIDGE ….DCIAA BIGGEST GAME. Let’s come in peace, leave the foolishness at home because these young men in both programs have put a lot into this to showcase their talent after
Everyone wants to be a great dribbler but the teams that win are the ones that can PASS!!!
So the better passer you are the better player u will become. Teams have more use for you. Say what u want about Draymond Green he plays because he can PASS.
Hooped tonight…jumper was falling. Young fellas said “all u do is shoot jumpers, drive one time for me”. Hahaha FOR WHAT!!!
If something is working why I got to prove I can do something else? If you can’t stop something why I need to do something else?
Happy Gtown won the chips that’s a great story. Gtown got better by subtracting. Sometimes having guys leave open up opportunities for guys that want to be in those spots.
NCA gets a tough 72-67 win vs John Paul the Great
@MickensKris
went off tonight with a 32pts and 11rebs performance. Just the tip of the iceberg this kid doesn’t know how special he is going to be!!!
@CoachCalT
@TigersWilson
College basketball opens tonight!!!
Guys getting recruited word of advice, the schools you are interested in please recruit them as much as they recruit you. Watch them play a lot and see where u fit. The fit is more important than the name on the front of the jersey.
Great effort this morning but fell a short.
@DC_Premier_
15UAA is one of the best teams in the country hands down. Got to close
#UAFinale
out strong at 3:30 today.
#DARKSIDE
Watching my son practice football is such an delight for me. I have to be honest I didn’t want to come but seeing my guy smile and laugh with his teammates makes today a great day.
Rule
#1
to being a PG:
You have to know EVERYTHING!!! You have to know what all 5 spots are supposed to be doing on offense and defense. PG’s are like the CEO of a company. CEO’s knows every moving part of that company, so when something is off it can be fixed , same w/PG’s
Okay between high school and college I scored around 2700 points give or take. Just hooped everyday! I don’t know how juggling tennis balls and moving cones make you better? Seems Pointless!!! People pay for this nonsense?
NoVa coaches please get your post season award correct.
@davgking05
is clearly POY in the region, no thought needed, nobody is better right now. Don’t rob him like y’all did
@J_Kaiser53
last year. It’s not that hard to do, take your bias away and actual do it for the kids.
Took a tough lost last night to a really good JL3 team but
@DC_Premier_
16u had stellar performances by
@rfmari3x
w/ 21pts, 6 Rebs and 4 assist along with
@AlexTouomou
who had a double -double 12pts 10rebs and 5 blocks.
@TheCBBAcademy
Why is it so hard for young hoopers to figure out who is real and good for their future? So many believe the BS and their career suffers.There is a life lesson these kids are missing. They can’t recognize honesty and truth.
Day is in the book.
@DC_Premier_
16UAA team finish the day 2-0. Two quality wins vs extremely tough competition at
@UANextBHoops
Tomorrow we look to finish our goal for the weekend.
