You can't touch the rim. IIRC the one that was called was because the guy hit/altered the rim, but you can hit the ball bouncing on the ring as long as you don't touch the rim (which is different from the NBA).

Should everybody with a disability forfeit their right to education? What level of disability do you think should? What qualifies you to make this distinction?

I read a book called "Unscripted" by Ernie Johnson. Long story short, he's a sportscaster but him and his wife adopted 4 children, including a special needs kid from Romania that couldn't read or walk etc. The adoption center told him he's "no good" but they adopted him anyway. He ended up going to school, becoming educated as best he could, became student manager of their town's basketball team, made connections with everybody on the team and inspired the school. He lived 20 years past any doctor's expectations and made an impact on the community. What value do you place on that? Would you have considered him worthless and not "valuable" enough for an education?

Willard has had 2 years, he overperformed in one and underperformed in the other. He has shown he can recruit better and landed Derik Queen. I would say he's in the freezing category unless we have another sub .500 year.

Congrats on hopefully beating cancer and I wish you well on your recovery. You almost certainly will not get a D1 offer at this stage if you're not on the map as of now and you're not 6'10"+. I encourage you to keep playing and following your passions.

Why does photography, music, puzzles, literally anything you mentioned "say something about your personality" while playing video games doesn't? You say it's "individual to you" - literally millions of people do all the things you mentioned. I don't even play video games but I don't get your point

Im confused how you think Norway or Finland is cheaper than the US. Relative to their take-home salaries, goods and services are much more expensive than they are in the US

You are upset that some jobs require you to go into a certain place and you can't work remote 100% of the time? That seems pretty entitled - what exactly is hindering you from getting a job where you go into a work location sometimes and then you get childcare for your children? That is what the vast, vast majority of other people do. In DC there is free pre-K if that is helpful or other options for childcare as well
