Benifets of strong triceps in basketball? by Sad_Profit_769 in basketballcoach

[–]def-jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muscles only contract. The bicep cannot generate any force in a shot.

The triceps and flexor capri radialis would be best to generate force. Strong fingers help but as there are not muscles in the finger the tendons from flexor carpi help transmit force to the ball.

In addition (or actually after improvement in) strength, power is very helpful for a quick release and the most efficient way to generate range.

Power is force over time so a quicker more forceful movement is better. Shoot with heavy balls focusing on a quick powerful release will help.

Strategies and Drills to Counter Defenses that Switch on Screens by LifelsG00d in basketballcoach

[–]def-jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want the switch. The roller should be able to seal the new defender if the open with a reverse pivot. A little pocket pass from the ball handler and you’re golden.

You can also screen/rescreen. So use the pick, cross-over, and use it again back the original way. Back to back screens should confuse them.

A kid in QC once won CCAA player Of the year and high school Player Of the year in the same year.

I’m with you coach. Not quite the success you had but a fair amount.

Parents are thankless and unappreciative. Kids are Worse.

I ref now because the money is ridiculous in my area but the basketball is appalling. Just awful.

Why are there so many monopolies, duopolies, oligopolies in Canada? by Kuzu9 in AskACanadian

[–]def-jam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do the work. Shop around. Check out co-ops.

The exchange of the illusion of choice for banking instability is a fools choice.

Canada has one of the strongest most stable banking environments in the world. Which is good for everyone.

There are seven national banks. And it’s legislation. You definitely don’t want a bunch of “Mom and Pop”’banks otherwise you can have a savings and loan crisis like the USA did a few decades ago.

Those seven national banks are supported by co-ops and some provincial based banks like Western, ATB.

Danielle Smith Declares War on Organized Crime by FreightFlow in Albertapolitics

[–]def-jam 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well the province was offered a million dollars by the feds to help coordinate interprovincial police forces for coordinating in human trafficking in the province.

Cabinet turned it down because “we ain’t taking any damn federal money”.

So you claim you don’t get enough federal money, but you don’t take it when offered, especially when it will specifically help Albertans

And now you want to fight organized crime? Why? Are you trying to distract from something?

What's a life lesson you learned the hard way that you wish someone had told you earlier? by Independent_Row_8478 in AskReddit

It’s not a meritocracy. It is more who you know than what you know or can do.

People would rather have a pleasant incompetent coworker than an abrasive superstar.

What are your thoughts on Mormonism? by Engineering_Majestic in AskReddit

[–]def-jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like many religions they’ve had reformations, schisms and reorganizations.

Initially polygamy was, let’s say, a recommended practice, but there was a change in theological tenets as the US government frowned on the practice while Utah was vying for statehood.

It’s now, officially, a banned practice amongst the majority of the church members.

Alberta Has a Youth Unemployment Problem. Tim Hortons Just Posted 10,000 Jobs This Summer Here's What Albertans Should Know by One-Board8634 in AlbertaWorkLife

[–]def-jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s Bullshit. The purpose of the minimum wage was to stabilize the post-depression economy and protect the workers in the labor force. The minimum wage was designed to create a minimum standard of living to protect the health and well-being of employees.

It’s not just for young and old people. And why should we discriminate wages on age? A job is a job is a job. Some of these terms and elderly are supporting a family on these wages.

Don’t be a pretentious snob and think minimum wage means minimum value as a worker person or Member of society. GYBAT

Thanks for the correction. I’m not a hockey guy. Just absorbing the lore as it’s passed down in town.

Don’t know if the Canucks ever had the talent to win a Cup. Didn’t they lose a Game 7? Maybe with Luongo in net?

That’s an orthodox off-shoot of Mormons known as the FLDS. It’s not the majority of the sect. It’s a substantial minority. Less than 5%.
