18-12.

Thanks for the advice, I will pass it along.

I hope to hell she doesn't end up in Atlanta.

She spent most of her internship last year at shipping clients in Mobile, after the first week in Atlanta. It apparently went well, I think she has been given to understand that will be her focus once she starts.

Blair Schaeffer still fine.

Flaujae and Fulwiley can get away with their mercurial nature against 90% of the college opponents But damn if it doesn’t flash neon in these games.

Well stated - that’s what I meant to say!

Older daughter finishing her masters in accounting this spring. She has a job waiting with Deloitte in Birmingham so she will be jumping on that hamster wheel for awhile. I certainly don’t think she plans to do that forever.

People say accounting is doomed with AI but there will always have to be humans in charge. I still think accounting is the best non-STEM degree a person can get.

Younger daughter studying to be a nurse, it is a wide open field, she will always be able to find work.

It'll be unnecessary since he's not coaching at an inferior school like F.A.U. or Ole Piss where he had to rely on trickery to get ahead. At LSU, he'll just steam roll teams into submission.

This. (I hope).

I think he felt in the past like he had to take chances to manufacture a break for his team because they so often were not as talented as the top teams they played.

Hopefully he will not feel the necessity at LSU.

She addressed this on one of the postgame interviews earlier this season.

She said that even if it’s late in the game and they’re up big, those girls in the game who don’t get to play as much want and deserve the same level of coaching and intensity the starters are getting.

And she’s right. I wish my daughter’s high school coach her fresh. and soph. years had felt the same way! Of course he don’t have as many national titles as Kim got.

Geaux Kim!

When I was in 7th-8th grades I had a paper route, the old-fashioned kind riding my bike. There were some dogs on my route that used to come running at me like they were gonna tear my arse up.

Most of them didn't worry me but I was a little scared of a few of them. I went to the Winn-Dixie and bought a big sack of the cheapest dog biscuits they had.

Every time a dog ran at me I would throw them a couple treats.

In a week or so I had smiling friends all over my route.

At that age you can’t expect for the kid to learn the game, or the skills to play it, at rec league practice. Teach the child this now.

You have to work with them yourself. You can help them learn to dribble the ball straight up and down low to the floor with either hand without looking down or losing the ball. Progress from there.

Teach him a simple basic lay-up.

Than start about 3-4 feet in front of the goal and start working on a shot and go backward as the kid is able.

Every youth league/middle school coach I knew is thrilled if they have a couple kids who can do that. The kids who can do those things are the ones who will be out on the court.

I told my daughters that the basic skills were expected to be in place already at practice, team practice was not the time to learn to dribble and shoot.

When work got too busy for me I hired a local lady who had played college ball to work with them. They enjoyed that.

One of them was more naturally athletic and willing to work and the other wasn’t. Not a whole lot you can do about that.
