This reminds me of the mid 1950s. Wampum High School Pennsylvania. The players would do drill with gloves on. dribble with glasses on that were blacked out on the bottom..(think bifocals ) ..so the player would keep his head up. Drills must have worked. Wampum won a couple state championships producing a prolific players in Don Hennon (MD, LaSalle U) and Richie Allen (MLB Phillies).

Many years ago, my JHS coach made us scrimmage with gloves on. It really forces you to concentrate on your ball handling. It turned out to be fun after you got the hang of it.

Well hopefully the NCAA is easing up on some of their ridiculous rules during this difficult time for some of the players that come from foreign nations that can't fly back to their home country. Like if you or a family member helps out a teammate and you just happen to be an alumni of that school, are you running the risk of providing an extra benefit to that player even though you are doing the right thing by helping a student out.

Who knew playing outdoors in snow was good for ballhandling?

Great signing by Geno. Likely saved us several games this past year. Predict that she will have exception career and the name "Anna" will be remembered for many years.
