    I don’t know as much about basketball as you sportswriters (channeling Bobby Knight), but not jumping only seems to make sense if he was jumping while doing free throws.

    My guess is that HVB’s husband gave up his dream of Nerf football

    “He may be overqualified, but he won’t give you idiotic advice like ’don’t take jump shots’ because he’s actually watched at least one basketball game in his lifetime. So there’s that.”

    “Every time I leave, they pull me back in.” Welcome to Mudlark basketball and all the oddities that go with it Jaquan “The Don” Case. This means HVB is around meddling like Mary Worth and taking up valuable panel space. BAHAWHAWWW!!!

    Well, if he’s overqualified, I’m guessing it’s not HB.

    Maybe it’s “Interim Assistant to the Coach”, much like Dwight K. Schrute was always corrected.

    Shooting without jumping? Didn’t the set shot go out with the era of narrow lanes, no shot clock, and butt-hugging shorts?

    I like the “Our next guest…” approach some of our writers posted today. It reminds me of the time Jay Leno was on(I’m thinking) Letterman before he had hit his own stride. Leno talked about this local podunk morning show he was a guest for and the podunk host intro’s Leno by announcing “Our next guest is a man who claims he was on The Tonight Show.”Leno ended this travesty with “Like I was making it up!!!!!”

    “My next assistant claims he played for a state championship. Fellas, give it up for Bobby Plump.”

    My guess is Jaquan Case the NBA player, who married Hadley V. Baxendale who became a lawyer.

    P1.5: Try Passing the Ball and bouncing it,too!

    P-2.5: Sgt. Pepper!

    P-3.5: Like Luke, in his Wrestling Uni embarrassment, last week, the kids lose it, when the new AIC shows up in 60’s Gym Shorts & US Keds.

    With “over qualified” that leaves out Moon, so probably “the Don!” though it would be fun if it were Bobby Howry and he had amphetamines for everyone!

    Waiting for the strip from the next game, when Leo doesn’t jump to shoot and the ball has to be surgically extracted after having been jammed down his throat.

    No, no, unfortunately the new coach is not me. If it were, the kids wouldn’t be so shocked. I mean, it’s too bad, because who could possibly be better? And speaking of better, you better go over to Mopped Up Thorp right about now.
