I can only imagine you are talking about the OP.






No, I'm talking about idiot parents that think 1st graders should win at all costs rather than learn the game and learn their abilities.



Yes that is what I said, you are talking about abysmal, the OP, for encouraging his team to fast break repeatedly despite it being against the rules. IE not following rules and learning fundamentals but trying to win at all costs. No doubt trying to reclaim his youth by doing it.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

for the record...i couldn't tell you the actual score of any game this season other than the 2-1 game...yes, 2 baskets to 1 basket.
HILARIOUS!

and for the record, when i told my kids to break, it was to prove a point to the other coach, NOT to get a win.
hell i think we only scored on one of the two that didn't have a parent stop it.

and ya...north central MA doesn't have many brothers, and they sure aren't playing in a rec league!

be involved with youth sports myself, I can really relate

Coaches are bad, parents are worse


Are there refs?

The Refs are worse than any of them. Everyone knows that.

I coached a little league team for a few years and almost got into a fist fight with an opposing coach, that was fun.

coaches are the refs.
it's been an agreement that we call our own kids.
very few of us will call it that way though.
most of them will cry about the other teams everything and let their kids walk around with the ball.

most of the kids we will correct them, not just turn the ball over though.
