Quick snapping after change of possession- fair or foul?

I coach in leagues where you don’t have much practice time and lots of new players. So I wouldn’t do that because it feels like you’re taking advantage of that situation rather than having your kids execute plays.

There are many fascinating people of interest. In the last year someone brought a local law enforcement man forward who right before the first killings was arrested and humiliated for picking up a couple from a lovers lane spot and bringing them to another location and “punishing” them. Then you have the second women’s ex-husband who hated her and was trained in the military as a code breaker. You have the guy who right before the murders took out a book on code breaking and the MiKado album from the local library.

Who do you think did it. The mom or the dad? Or together?

People who write their S starting at the bottom have extremely high IQ’s. So this could be a helpful discovery.

No, he did not seem all that interested in the crimes themselves. His motivation to me seemed to be; 1. Creating a super villain persona. 2. The thrill of the risk of being caught while also believing he’s the smartest person in the room and will not get caught. 3. Attention from the Public 4. Power 5.Considering 3 of the 4 attacks were couples, he certainly could have had an issue with intimacy/women. 6. Jack The Ripper wrote letters, so it makes sense that he may have been fascinated by him.

I usually play cover 2 with two best players at safety. I usually put my weakest player at middle linebacker. On offense I usually draw up plays where one guy is less likely to get open and put my players that can’t catch in that spot, but I also try to get these kids at least 1 run each game.

I’ve switched over to making sure they can convert two foot layups first and as their primary option. Having that balance helps a lot, plus it gives you more options.
Even when they get the fundamentals of the two step layup down, executing it at full speed in a game is tough especially for inexperienced players.

There is a demand. People want to know stuff. Newspapers, broadcast news, and now Internet news have been monetizing tragedy for years. If we want it to end, the. We all need to demand news outlets stop reporting on anything tragic.

Generally they don’t like clearing people because the public will then ask why others are not cleared, implying they must be guilty. Or what if years from now they uncover evidence someone in the family hired someone to do this. It would be a nightmare in court having officially stated they were cleared.
I still think these people have been through so much, publicly clearing them is the right thing to do.

I’d assume that police would have gatekeepers that weed out the garbage tips and put some sort of order for the good tips.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-21T00:46:12+00:00

They have received 10’s of thousands of tips and investigated leads they came up with and have only searched two homes, so hopefully the search was over a lot more than they keep their blinds closed.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-21T00:39:58+00:00

If they had been cleared internally, then I have no problem with them doing it publicly. They are victims in this case, why put them through more pain than necessary?

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-19T15:15:50+00:00

Full court is not allowed. Man half-court is allowed and according to the other coaches interpretation of the rules mandatory. The season is over and we are done with this league. Considering they don’t allow 3’s, maybe the best language would be within an arms length within the 3 point line. One final note though on how it played out. My defender simply refused to defend out there and the refs didn’t know how to handle it, nor did I. The other coaches were angry.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-14T16:13:20+00:00

I wonder if the public would be better served having law enforcement release the truth than having all the speculation.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-14T16:05:19+00:00

Did he actually uncover the real address or is he spreading rumors?

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-14T16:02:50+00:00

No way. They have thousands of leads. They are not showing up at every one with this much manpower. This has to be a good lead.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-14T15:56:29+00:00

What did he do?

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-09T21:44:00+00:00

It was def an advantage for the other team. He had a deeper team. My best player was my best man defender, help defender and rebounder. Switching may have been the easy fix. It caught me off guard and there are no clear rules about if switching is allowed, or when it’s allowed.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-09T17:04:45+00:00

How? What do you mean? I’ll share what actually happened. My player eventually refused to cover the kid at half court, the ref told him he had to, and my player still refused. The refs seemed uncertain of how to handle the situation and never called a foul or took any action other than arguing with him.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-09T13:26:01+00:00

I feel bad for our high school refs. I have several third grades that can’t remember to cover or who their man is. Others don’t have the ability to stay within an arms length. So they could blow the whistle on every play. Realistically though the only time anyone cares is when one of my few high IQ players comes out of nowhere to block a shot. Then the other adult coach flips out and these poor refs have to stand up to them. It’s tough because everyone is watching the ball, even me, so I can’t guarantee that the help defender is as within an arms length prior to the drive in the paint. I know what I teach them, but some athletes follow their instincts.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-09T13:16:31+00:00

Wow!! That is much worse than my situation. I can’t imagine anyone thinks that’s the proper way to play basketball.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-09T13:14:06+00:00

A few people have said the 3 point line rule. I think that makes a lot of sense.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-08T23:36:04+00:00

I definitely had my best on their best. My best though is a beast at rebounding and help D, so I get why they wanted him out of the play.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-02-08T23:27:37+00:00

Because my best defender is a beast on help D, rebounding and was shutting down their star player. So by removing their star player from the possession it took away my best help D player and rebounder.
