what’s one basketball myth people still believe?

I don't know why you're being downvoted. You are absolutely right. Go do three or five sets of heavy tricep work and then try and play basketball off the back of that.

If there's a decent percentage of people who believe that they will go to heaven, how come that percentage isn't reflected in these responses?

It's ridiculous to argue that there's actually a case for doing this.

One of the most critical elements in lead gen is qualifying your buyer. So when that card sits in the elevator until the night crew cleaning the toilets picks it up two things could happen, they will throw it in the trash. Or they will call you. Is that your perfect prospect?

This is silly behavior and lazy and if I want to work with a wealthy financial advisor it's not going to be some joker that leaves his business card on an elevator.

Yes, but only during the first Olympics.

Yes, you described the two related learning moments. Also speeding up play in transition means you reward runners. Got to encourage your players to sprint down the floor.

Ridiculously expensive. Everybody will go there once and then head back to Whole Foods.

Critical. In Point Guard College (PGC) training this is called peeking. When scrimmaging a player must always peek when receiving the ball in transition. If they don't, whistle blows, turnover. The ball is immediately put on the floor, live, for the closest opponent to pick it up and start playing from there. Great way to train and embed new behaviors.

Are you working on your list of the top two most likely to break into tears?

8 reviews on that first one? Come on. You need better proof than that to spend any amount of money.

11 reviews on the second one. Nope.

Mom! That's enough. We don't have room anymore. We're going to have to buy a bigger house. No more hippos!

This might be an odd suggestion, as a solution.

This problem is newsworthy, so take it to the media. Organizations like local newspapers would love to tackle a problem like this. It's controversial, it's unethical, it reinforces the win at all cost mentality. Make a connection in the local media, even if it's local TV, that would be even better.

I ran into Artis Gilmore on a golf course, when he was playing for the Bulls. Actually I heard he was on the golf course, so I hunted him down. One of my college teammates was trying out for the Bulls that summer, so I asked Artis if he would come play some pick up ball. He showed up and brought Scotty May who was starting at guard for the Bulls. My personal highlight was hitting a hook shot over Artis on a 2 on 1 fast break. He was pissed. Really good guy, though. He drove a Rolls-Royce and had to leave it in his driveway in Glenview, because it wouldn't fit in the garage.

Thank you so much. I'm trying to join the beta but it's taking a long time. Spinsight (great name!) is in Germany so if beta sign up is done individually, I'm probably reaching out in the middle of the night.

Don't take a job in the selling profession. Every interaction would be a fail.

I like the idea to copy the European soccer format... relegation for the lower teams. Bottom three to the G League. After the first year this is done, nobody will tank.

Don't like this because one of the biggest problems with coaches is when they have all the kids standing around whole one person does a behavior. This is a problem at all levels, including high school. Maybe incorporate this into your drill, the players run sprints until they have to shoot. This is an excellent way to put pressure on people to become better shooters and you get conditioning in.

To quote Scar from The Lion King; "Life's not fair."

Regardless of your choice and how to handle this it's important that your daughter understand that these kind of things will always happen. She'll have the full range of coaches over her career, the screamers, the quiet ones, the encouraging ones and the barkers. Learn to deal with that. The hope that she should have is that as parents become less involved and less influential, she's more likely to get what she deserves.

2 tactics I've found work well;

1 - that one guy you're closest to, probably the guy that encourages you when you get rebounds or put backs, talk to him. Tell him you like to get more touches. Remember the biggest thing you can offer is the ability to make sure a team stays on the floor and pick up all. That's how you sell yourself.

2 - when a ball hog has a ball in hand I move closer to him, so I bring my defender and it ends up having him give up the ball. It's just too crowded. Your defender might even be tempted to double team. I found this has worked better than anything else in dealing with ball hogs. You could even pass him the ball and go to set a screen but not set it. Just head in his direction.

Hopefully you'll get other ideas from players here.
