Most high school offenses are too complex for the practice time available to execute them. The answer isn't smarter players. It's a simpler system.

Congrats to Vince Doering for being selected to play in the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Game on June 20 in Salina!! Vince is the first player from Manhattan selected to play in the boys all-star game since Trevor Hudgins in 2017.

INSANE random connection here. Trevor Hudgins is perhaps the best player Ben McCullom has ever coached. The duo produced three DII National Titles, and Hudgins was 2x DII National Player of the Year. Hudgins grew up in Manhattan, Kansas. His third grade teacher? Brad Underwood's wife. Here's the #Illini head coach on McCullom's success in year one with the Hawkeyes: "His teams have always won because they continue to get better." (Video from NCAA) @TrevorHudgins12

Add athletic periods during the school day! Problem solved. Start practice at 2 instead of roughly 3:30.
The Sunday/Wednesday Moratorium is a hot topic this week in Kansas. Here's everything you need to know. How did it to start? Why did it start? Who's in support of the moratorium? Who's against it? @Jason_Alatidd and I break it down: STORY: cjonline.com/story/sports/hi…

The more you watch hundreds and hundreds of passing lane steals, the more and more you see the outside hand steal vs the inside hand. Starting to think this might be the equivalent to camp chest passes vs one handed passes.

40 Years Ago Tonight December 2, 1985 With many members of the undefeated 1972 #Dolphins squad in the house, Miami hands the 12-0 #Bears their first and only loss of the 1985 season, 38-24 on Monday Night Football at the Orange Bowl — preserving the '72 Dolphins as #NFL history's only undefeated team. Miami uses designed roll outs for Dan Marino, as head coach Don Shula outsmarts the "sack happy" Chicago defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan by placing receiver Nat Moore in the slot. Ryan stubbornly stays with linebacker Wilber Marshall covering him until it's too late. #PhinsUp It is the highest-rated, most-watched MNF game ever (46% share, 29.6 rating).
