Men tend to focus and rely on these aspects of the game while girls tend to focus on technique, fundamentals and perfecting basketball skills while gaining valuable basketball IQ. Both of these aspects are important to sports and could be deciding factors in…

heading off to college is will you be able to make friends. By pure chance I was assigned to room with a freshman basketball player, we quickly became good friends. I also quickly became friends with the entire basketball team and now find myself living in a suite, apartment style housing located at the North end of campus, composed entirely of basketball players and myself. The basketball team has become my best friends and me one of there’s. People often confuse me for a member of the team,…

The Sparrow On Friday, November 18, 2016, my wife and I saw the 7:30 showing of The Sparrow, a play written by Chris Matthews, Jake Minton, and Nathan Allen. The play is about a high school girl (Emily) returning to her former school after a tragic accident in the second grade, in which she was the only survivor, forced her to move and attend a different school.

deserve a leader as a coach than someone coaching for the money. Another reason I coach the way I do is to teach individuals about the game of basketball and responsibilities that he or she will face outside of the gym.

In both cases, it seems that the administration should have done a better job of…

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…

Pro athletes are the highest paid occupation in the world. For What? For them to run down a field score and touch down or skate down the ice to score a goal, or even stand at base hitting a ball out the park. All though things are what we as kids do growing up, so why do they get paid so much as adults to do things we all did growing up? Athletes get paid too much for what they do, no matter if they play the whole game or are injured; they still get paid the same amount of money. It’s just a…

everyone was extremely hyped. When the other team took the court to warm up we had the shock of our lives. We had heard that they had gotten a player back from injury but we had no idea that it was a six foot tall center! We were all quivereing in our basketball shoes. But our coach timely called us all together and told us these very words. "These guys might be bigger than you but you have to be smarter."
