the healthiest. It is a reminder that families or people need the heart to function. It might be a struggle now to function because Chuck has passed away. The basketball is a good representative of a heart because it is the essential item in a basketball game and you need it to play a game. Symbol Two: The second symbol is the basketball court behind the word trust in the middle of the trailer. The court represents the family. When the whole family is there, as if all of the hoops and…
“Let’s go Sam! Speed it up!” my eighth-grade basketball coach barked at me impatiently. Honestly, I deserved it; I was slow. I had natural athletic ability—I come from a family of athletes—but it only goes so far when you’re carrying around a spare tire on your body. At thirteen, I was pretty fluffy/soft around the edges and had been since my sixth summer. As the family baby, I had stayed behind while my siblings left for camp, quickly replacing “playing up” with them and their friends with…
This year the 2017-2018 season has been a great, but intense year for the University of Arizona’s men’s basketball team. At the beginning of the year, one of the assistant coaches was found guilty for taking bribes from a recruit, so that the recruit could play at the University of Arizona’s basketball team. Later on towards the end of the season, the team was suspected bribing a five star recruit to play for the team. The five star recruit was the seven foot one center from Hillcrest Prep…

I thought I was prepared because I had played aau basketball previously for multiple summers and had known and played multiple times against the guys I was competing with for a spot. Well I thought wrong because during the…

cut down on childhood obesity, an epidemic in The United States of America. As I was folding laundry and watching basketball the idea hit me, dirty clothes basketball. The idea is very simple, put a basketball hoop on a clothes hamper. The hope being if kids start “shooting” their dirty clothes, that basketball fundamental will carry over outside and encourage kids to play basketball rather than sitting inside on an iPad. In the process of encouraging…
We, the university of St. George basketball team staff need a change. We need to get rid of the players that plague our program, in order to recruit quality athletes that will affect our program ethically more than athletically. We have dominated division IV basketball for many years, however overachieving athletes that underachieve academically, ethically and morally have been the reason for our athletic success. Our players have been punks. That is not what this outstanding university was…
