OT: You can't spell "SEC" without "Texas"
Dean Smith replied to HuskerFever's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
The Twitter sphere says Kansas has already contacted the B1G -
I would think so. Now you are aware that not everything on Twitter turns out to be true? I just repeated what I saw.

There was a tweet today from his camp about looking into a professional opportunity in Australian basketball.

What will our rotation look like next year?
Dean Smith replied to huskerbill85's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
They have not - Blaise Keita. You take players where you can get players. -
I’ve never seen him play but he seems to duplicate a lot of the same skill set that Kobe Webster brings to the team. He wouldn’t of come if we told him he might not get minutes so I’m sure they see a real role for him.

MLS and Sporting KC - Official Thread

They can’t even move up to USL championship soccer until they get a soccer only facility to play in. -

I don’t see people driving from Des Moines to watch USL soccer. They have their own USL league 2 team now. -

Went to my first on the 3rd. Playing in a baseball field had me worried. I have been to “Wizard” games in that ballpark back when Children’s Mercy Park was being built. That didn’t work. The field was way too narrow condensed play. Corners were ridiculous. And having seats behind one of the goals, I almost lost a young child to an off target shot in warmups. Smashed the seat next to him. Four inches to the right and his hand probably has multiple breaks. The Owl’s field seemed close to the width it was supposed to and sight lines weren’t horrible. Only one corner I couldn’t really see. The atmosphere was tremendous for the crowd size and the support group stayed energized through out. The biggest difference I saw to higher level soccer was the keepers played very, very slow in their distribution and neither team really tried to play out from the back. All in all an enjoyable evening. I’m sure we’ll go back. -

The offense worked well in creating the shots we wanted. The players were very inefficient in making those good shots. -
I was at a couple of Nuggets games during that era - David, Alex English, Dan Issel, and Kiki VanDeWeghe. They could score like you breath. Loved those Spurs teams as well. Didn't every kid from that era have the poster of Gervin sitting on the ice blocks? He was countered inside with Artis GIlmore and Billy Paultz. And Jonny Moore is a lost gem to history. I remember he had a couple of quadruple doubles in his career. And I'm probably combining teams from different years but I know Mike Mitchell was in there somewhere.

I’ve listened to it a couple of times and you’re probably right but I’m still not 100% sure.

Top of the table with two games in hand is bonus. A possible 6 more points and even if you lose both and go even in number of games played, you’re still on top of the table. -
Somewhere around the 12:20 mark Trey says they are both going in the draft after this season.

We created a bunch of chances early. I like that Reyna came out post game and said he should had two (1 for sure), if that early goal goes in it’s a whole different game. Honduras can’t sit 10 guys behind the ball or have guys calling for the stretcher ever 5 minutes. The game opens up and we get three or four goals. Not finishing when we had opportunities was the biggest problem. And yes, Musah should have started and so should the goal scorer who I am not going to try to spell his name. Sargent made a huge contribution with the back header off the line to save a goal but did not do near enough on the other end of the field. Mexico struggled tonight vs Costa Rica - 0-0 shoot o on out victory. Make those two changes to the team plus Tyler Adams if he’s healthy and we got a team. -
I would think it’s different for everyone just like any job. I’m sure some of them stay because they are really good at it and the love doing it, the teaching, the competing, the comradery, and most important for most coaches, the relationships. I’m sure some are still trying to prove something and some really like the money at that level. But to do it right takes a hell of a lot of work and it always comes with certain amount of shit. Maybe I’m naive, but I would think being willing to put up with all that and keep doing it most of them stay for the love of the game and all that comes with it.

Keeping up with the offers/visits
Dean Smith replied to Norm Peterson's topic in Husker Hoops Recruiting
Real Madrid is the New York Yankees of the football world. Only the Yankees don't have a connection to fascism. -
My point was I wouldn't put baseball in but it doesn't matter. If the committee puts it in then its an olympic sport like it or not. We could list lots of sports we don't like, don't understand or feel that are not worthy (see the picture above this post for instance). And regardless of what you or I feel the winner of 3 on 3 basketball will be taking a gold medal home.

They have an Olympic committee that decides what sports are in and what sports are not. When they decide to place a sport in the competition that, by definition, makes it an Olympic sport. I do not particularly like baseball and I did play it in elementary school. It was out, then in, then out, and now its back in. That makes it an olympic sport.
