    Schluter Kerdi-Board? Any of you used it before?

    Have any of you used the stuff before? Thoughts? Worth the extra cost over concrete board and redgard/aquadefense? I'm renovating several rooms, starting with a bathroom part-time on the weekends. Willing to spend some extra money if it comes recommended and will save my back from the weight...

    OT: Favorite Basketball to play with?

    I'm bored. Let's talk favorite basketballs. IMO it's HANDS DOWN the old school TF-1000. They stopped making the good ones years ago, but I stole a few from gyms I would visit as a coach and would leave one of our Evos (Sorry SWHS). My #2 is the Evolution, followed by The Rock and the Molten...

    Do college coaches go to the NBA any more?

    I am scrolling through bios on NBA head coaches. I see TWO total former head D1 coaches: Snyder was at Missouri for 6 years, and of course Billy Donovan was a beast at Florida and UK. There are way more coaches working their way up from player development and the G-league than college coaches...

    Senior Highlights: Get Familiar

    Castle V. Duncanville 12.3.22 Overall: Has a ridiculous scoring package. Making tough 3s left and right. Strong at the rim, but still has finesse. Developing a left hand which we didn’t see a year ago. Good passer, but didn’t show it as much tonight because he was so hot. Live-ball turnovers...

    EYBL Session 3

    Here is where our targets will be playing this weekend for 2024. We'll also likely watch the 2025s that play for Expressions. We've put out a few more offers recently, so who we decide to watch will be telling. You can get the livestreams and livestats here: Nike EYBL EYBL has been way better...

    EYBL/Adidas Weekend 2

    Looks like Dan and Kimani were at Adidas yesterday. Definitely watched Jaiden Glover, but I'm not sure who else... no one we've offered yet. Tom and Luke at EYBL. We watched: Jakhi Howard Ahmad Nowell (who had another ridiculous game) Isaiah Abraham Boogie Fland Joson Sanon and AJ Diyabantsa...

    OT: Missing Mansfield Woman in Japan - GoFundMe

    Mansfield resident (and UConn hoops fans!) Pattie Wu-Murad has been missing in Japan for a week after leaving her Hostel near Osaka. She was an experienced hiker doing a pilgrimage. The Japanese government suspended searches after 3 days, so the family has flown to Osaka to hire a private search...

    Blind player comparison poll

    I'm assuming many of ya'll will be able to figure it out, but after some trash talk earlier this season, I figured I'd send out the poll. Numbers are per 36, and only in the 20 conference games. Both teams in the top half of the conference. Player A: 20.8 PTS 9.7 REB (3.5 offensive) 1.7 AST...

    Karaban Second Matchups

    Karaban mentioned in his presser that he did better in the second matchups vs the premier PFs in the league. I got bored at work and did the math. #s are the average of game between Hopkins, Kaluma, Freemantle, and Prosper--best PFs on the best teams in the league. Opponents Game 1 Average...

    OT: Basketball's Fake Fundamentals

    I'm bored today and sick of the downers on this board, so I figured I'd try to get the 'Yard riled up. I believe that coaches (even very successful coaches) teach some complete and utter garbage to players. This comes from a post @Jaydumo20 put up a few weeks ago in the pro spots board that I...

    Great Teams find a way to win

    Our shooting was abysmal, and we still destroy them in crunch time. This team has too many ways to win. Too many weapons--it's just a matter of finding the right lineup.

    Gampel v. XL Shooting

    People keep claiming that we shoot the 3 better at Gampel than XL. I thought my eye test had it, but it was much more even than I expected. I figured we'd see at least a 3-4 point difference in favor of Gampel. I didn't include the no fans season at Gampel and it's only during Hurley's tenure...

    Tell me how to keep my back from hurting on flights

    Since we're on the topic of pillows and travel, I figured I'd shoot my shot and combine both. You people seem to have opinions on everything. I have a 16-hour flight coming up in a little over a month. Going to South Africa/Zimbabwe/Botswana for a 5 weeks before my new job starts. I'll be doing...

    OT: Romero v Davis--who you got?

    My bold claim: Davis's streak of KOs will be broken tonight. He wins by UD. Feels like Romero shoukd have waited a few years for this one. He's really only had one big-time fight and is now talking a big game about Tank. I can't imagine Davis loses. I would love to see him lose though. Kid...

    OT: CTs William Knight in the UFC Tonight @ 6pm

    I've posted these before--mods delete if it isn't allowed. Will Knight from Manchester is fighting tonight at 6pm. Former 2x state champion wrestler and real-life hulk. Unfortunately he got pushed to the undercard so he'll be on espn+ instead of on ESPN. He has had a few pro grappling events...

    Castle some new highlights

    The kid is good. Really, really good. Amazing sense of pace on offense. Passing is fantastic for a 6’5 or 6’6 player. He really is a PG more than a combo. Great use of jumpstop--Hurley loves to teach that. Has improved SO MUCH since a year ago. Faster improvement than anyone I’ve watched...

    2023 Recruiting: Gavin Griffiths

    stats from the avon old farms game a week ago. Just got around to watching it. Griffiths vs AOF 12.8.21 Overall… not his best game. Not much new to see. Hell of a shooter, limited athletically on defense and rebounding. Dribbling and driving is still growing, but not up to snuff yet. Solid...

    OT: Cheapest streaming service with FS1/FS2

    Cheapest streaming service that has FS1/FS2 that I can get for the next couple months? I can't get to the game tonight, and usually just go watch any other games (+the Celtics) at my buddies house. Not an option tonight because I have meetings from 4:00-8:30. I won't be watching anything but...

    OT: Best free stock market simulator?

    I've been voluntold to teach a personal finance class this year to 14 year olds as an elective, so most of them should at least be mildly into it. 14 kids, 4 days a week. I want to do a semester-long stock market simulator with them with prizes for the winner. Any best options out there? Basic...

    Has 12 points in the first half out of his teams 26. Taking over the game on both ends to give his team the lead. Couple dunks, hit 2 FTs. Got a block and took it end to end for 2. Alleyoop. Looking like a star right now even without the 3 point shot. Passing the rock well. Ripped it out of...

    2022 Recruiting: Peach Jam Stats

    I got the stats from a buddy of mine who keeps them compiled for our 2022 recruits we're still after. Holy smokes please remember it's AAU and these guys are playing glorified playground ball. FG%s being low is kind of par for the course. My overall impression is that Karaban = Can shoot the...

    Best BBQ in CT

    Best BBQ in the state? Mostly thinking brisket and pulled pork. I want to go out somewhere tomorrow to get sone inspiration to use my smoker. Not a fan of eastern carolina pork. Western is A+ though. Bears is overpriced. I like Pig Rig in Wallingford and Taino in Middletown. Any recommendations?

    OT: Brad Stevens Resigns and becomes GM/Ainge Resigning - Potential New Cs HC?

    Sounds like he's taking over as head of operations instead of Ainge. Ainge is resigning as well. I don't follow the NBA enough to know who might be on the Celtics radar. Any ideas? Can we just offer Jay Wright 25 million a year? lol
