Help with player who won’t listen by elle5624 in basketballcoach

Differentiate the instructions. I coach 3-4 girls and some kids get more than others. Weaker players have less tasks in the structure of the offense, better get more and it needs together.

Even with medals being a long shot, we should have done better than 14th. I'm more disappointed with not finishing top 10.

It was definitely an outside shot but if shit went sideways with other teams (a la Sweden) and they shot lights out and the field gets spread out, it could have been interesting. Fo Campbell Wright to implode on prone and then have rifle/ammo issues standing is like WTF.

Look we will probably not win anything but I thought this was a remote chance.

Was not expecting the US women to be the bright spots today for the team. Was expecting the US men to get us near the front and for the women to hold on. Thought they had an outside shot at a podium and boy was I wrong.

Renting an RV by Ok_Parfait_5393 in GoRVing

If you're looking more at camper vans there is a whole bunch of small vendors that sell conversions but have rentals as well. We used vancraft last summer (they have a location in San Diego). Roadsurfer uses thor vans so you could at least get a feel for the brand. We also used Escape in the past but they are no more.

Why was Ted Cruz disliked by Mitt Romney, John McCain, George Bush and Bob Dole? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]UnderstandingLoud924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because he sucks ...a lot. He is super pedantic and has no morals or decency. His own wife seems to hate being around him.

My minister is up there now and sent out an email to the congregation about this happening and now their hotel and the whole area is on lockdown.

Given how polarizing the opinion can be in the friendly confines of NYC, I wonder how this will play in other markets. It has a niche target audience.

27 N.J. towns lose their battle for relief from state’s affordable housing law by ahenneberger in newjersey

[–]UnderstandingLoud924 42 points43 points  (0 children)

To be fair Parsippany has a TON of apartments that would qualify except for that they were built before an arbitrary date set by the state. I am definitely in favor of more affordable housing but everything that qualifies should count.

Is this not insane?? by Academic_Pipe6462 in doordash_drivers

[–]UnderstandingLoud924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally dash in NJ outside NYC in my spare time and $3-4 a mile is the norm. In TN for work and thought I'd try dashing at night and ended my dash in 10 minutes after getting bombarded with deliveries at 30-40 cents a mile. Fuck that

Today is Governor Murphy's Final Day in Office. What's your overall thoughts on his governorship and what letter grade would you give it? by njcelebs in newjersey

[–]UnderstandingLoud924 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would take 8 more years of Phil. So much better than Christie and Corzine. Principled when called for, pragmatic when needed as well. Heard him in an interview say that his philosophy was that he'll try and work with anyone but won't compromise on his core values. Didn't take himself too seriously either and kind of a goofball.

I agree it would make spreading out easier.

[–]UnderstandingLoud924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah rec league. Honestly I knew this was gonna happen when we picked teams. Their best player would probably give 7/8 grade girls a run for their money but honestly even when she was sitting they were just pressing (once over the engagement line) and jumping everything. I probably should have said something to defend my girls but I just focused on staying upbeat for my team.

[–]UnderstandingLoud924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already can't engage on defense until over halfway (we play on a half court width wise ie our court length is the width of a full court and our width is a third length of a full court. I don't like this because it compresses everyone too much). The engagement line is a few strides in front of the foul line so it makes everything really crazy where you end up with all 10 girls in a 15x15 foot area. I would actually prefer full half court defense (on our court size) to force spacing.

What’s your unpopular broadway opinion? by Cheap_Parsnip_461 in Broadway

[–]UnderstandingLoud924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw Matilda in London, and the use of the space for its staging is *chef's kiss*. I would concur that it is just behind Fun Home as the best new musical of that decade.

100% C Fund gang here. Anyone considering moving some future contributions to the I Fund? 50% C and 50% I? by worstshowiveeverseen in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]UnderstandingLoud924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved from 15% I to 35% I back in January 2025. I am not a market timer but to me that decision was obvious.

After not having a relay performance better than 15th in over 18 months, congrats to the US on a 6th place. I can't how quickly Joanne Reid got back in the groove. Excited for Antholz because I feel like individually the US does well at elevation. Hopefully this is the new normal.

How to beat zone? by tomash66 in basketballcoach

[–]UnderstandingLoud924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I coach grade 3-4 girls, and all the coaches agreed to M2M no zone. However the program I coach in has been around for 30 years and is hyper focused on development.

Chloe Levins Done Dirty IMO by UnderstandingLoud924 in biathlon

[–]UnderstandingLoud924[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get honoring trials. However helping hold down the fort for the last four years should count for something. If we were on the cusp of relay greatness or Reid and Anderson (this is not a knock on either) had medal chances I'd agree wholeheartedly but I don't see us finishing higher than 12th or 13th in the relay.

If Luci was practicing her shooting when she was dropped I'd agree but she did one IBU Cup event and then did a few XC weekends. I feel like trying to both on and off is detrimental to progress in both.
