You have no fucking clue what you are talking about
In college the guys I ran with were regularly beating teams full of football players. The football players that could ball would play with us instead of their teammates because we always won and the goal was to stay on the court instead of sitting 45 minutes.
We beat dudes that played for UW hoops ... we beat dudes that played in college ... we beat dudes that were playing overseas.
If we played some scrubs we’d junk it up a bit to get a bit of rest ... sometimes it was a stupid passive zone sometimes we’d blatantly cherry pick. If we dumbed it down and still kicked the shit out of who we played then the egg was on your face.
And when we played guys that we couldn’t realistically guard instead of shrugging shoulders and saying shit we are going to lose ... we’d change things up and try to figure out what would give a better chance to win. Sometimes that was a zone ... sometimes it was hard doubles to get the ball out of people’s hands on the perimeters ... sometimes it was me trying to get under 6’10 dudes to push them out a step or two and rely on our bigger guys to come over and either block shots or get rebounds easier.
Idiots that took my highly joking comment about zones out of context are the definition of fucktarded

Why are you doing this to yourself...

Since we are all just telling pointless long IMA basketball stories I wanted to share...
Once I was playing basketball at the IMA.
IT showed up and schooled everyone, he gave my friend a blackeye and dunked on my face for fun. We chatted a bit, was a good guy but definitely not the type you would want your daughter to date.
That night I got drunk and found myself, 2:30 am, outside the Jack in the box (you know which one) vomiting my brains out into a bush. A purple dodge challenger pulls up and rolls down the window and its IT.
He recognized me, laughed, and asked if I was alright, I mumbled "yeah my friends are inside or something". He asked if I wanted a ride, I drunkenly stumbled into his car and tried to tell him where I was living, I distinctly remember him driving on the wrong side of the ave because Im pretty sure he was drunk too and I was thinking it would be funny if I died in a drunken car accident with IT on the ave.
I couldnt find my place so he ended up pulling up to some apartments and Taylor Romar was outside, she let me in, Gant and some other cheerleaders were drinking but it was a very chill relaxed atmosphere, I chatted up some other cheerleader, I ended up disappointing her in the bathroom because the whiskey dick game was too strong that night. But I did obtain the n-word pass for a glorious few hours so not everything was bad.
After the disappointment/failure, sometime after 4am I stumbled home. I got back to my apartment, somehow, I have no idea. I opened the door, surprised I didnt lock it and there was some dude I had never seen before in my apartment. I thought about fighting him for a split second but I was too drunk. He helped me over to the couch and said its cool. I thought it was funny but promptly passed out on the couch.
I woke up a few hours later confused out of my mind. My apartment had different decor and the TV was missing. At first I figured the guy took the TV while I was drunk but when I got up to grab some water and Advil and the contents of my fridge were completely different. Still drunk, standing in the kitchen, I realized I was not in my apartment. I quietly let myself out of apartment #208 and made my way to my apartment #308.
I never saw #208 guy again, despite living there for another 6 months, but he was a chill guy that let me sleep on his couch, and for that he will always be remembered whenever people talk about their IMA basketball glory days. -
Every week at the IMA I would walk by the basketball courts before going to play racquetball and think, "Wow what a bunch of fucking losers."
True Story. -
As a few others have stated here, chasing one and done's is simply not a recipe for success in the college game. This is especially true for a school like Washington, but it even still applies to the "Blue blood programs".
Kentucky is a perfect example of this. Over the last 10 years, Kentucky has never finished lower than #2 in the final recruiting rankings, yet for all those stellar classes, they have but 1 national title to show for it, in the year when they had Anthony Davis who is just a freak, and only three Final 4 appearances, and none of those coming since 2015
Now, don't get me wrong, i'd run over my own mother for Washington to win 1 national title and make 2 other Final 4's in a 10 year span, but the expectations at a place like Kentucky and a place like Washington are a lot different. -
They also had other 5 star freshmen, Terrence Jones as a sophomore, and Darius Miller. I e been harping on it for awhile, one and dones are extremely overrated.WillyRBeek said:As a few others have stated here, chasing one and done's is simply not a recipe for success in the college game.

Zion didn’t win a natty. John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, and DaMarcus Cousins didn’t either.
Duke and Kentucky are the only one and done type schools to win a natty and both also had a couple upperclassmen and multiple lottery/first round picks. -

Playing zone in pick up is a bitch move. You're not playing with any level of competition with that. That's old man with boxers hanging out of their shorts noon ball shit.Tequilla said:
If I stayed on the court 4 hours a day 5 days a week and idiots like you couldn't beat me when we either a) didn't play defense or b) played a soft bitch ass zone ... then who is the soft bitch?PurpleThrobber said:

Before CJ Wilcox he was the best 3 point shooter in school history, hell maybe the best considering he had fewer seasons at UW, I don’t care enough to check. I don’t think that’s saying a lot that he would be an upgrade on a team with only 1 actual shooter, who also happens to be a true freshman playing limited minutes. Apples was a valued piece on one of our best teams. I’d take an Appleby type every year if I could. Teams that can’t shoot suck. This team can’t shoot.PurpleThrobber said:
To put this in perspective, this squad would give its left nut for a Ryan Appleby right now.ThomasFremont said:

50+ new comments!!!!Swaye said:See 54 new posts in the "Hop sucks donkey balls" thread.
Hope all the activity means Hop's been fired.
Read thread.
Remember why I rarely come to the b-ball bored.
Look for bleach and a shot glass.
Here I thought there would be some new take or information about Hop leaving or something, instead its Tommy trying to run Teq's ass and a "discussion" on the local talent UW doesnt recruit
Thread plays out as about the same as the basketball season did; decent start, issues but still some promise, absolute shit show collapse, Roadie trying to carry the thread like Stewart, more collapse, apathy
Think about that. Ryan Fucking Appleby is a value-add to the shit show that Hop has cobbled together.
I mean, I love me some gritty whiteboy guards but when Apples is what you'd plug in right this second as an upgrade, that's just wrong.
Year before - BRoy, Simmons, Nate, Conroy, Jensen.....Sweet 16
But 'historically' the local talent sucks. Right?
Get the fuck out with that take ... that's terrible
CAREER point/rebound/assist totals for those JAGs at Washington
Burmeister: 178/67/44
Wolfinger: 144/56/8
Wallace: 239/207/35
Gasser: 193/124/38
Wolfinger was never on a Sweet 16 team ... I think you're confusing him with Zane Potter
Broy didn't go to Garfield? Simmons? Conroy?
Those squads were built on local kids - fuck off if you can't live with that reality.
Fuck off any way.
A guy that plays zone in pickup and brags about it....scrub indeed. That's rich. Fucking delicious.
I'm talking about your preposterous inclusion of the scrub bench mob as evidence
Getting to the Sweet 16 in hoops is like bragging about going to the Alamo Bowl ... and I'm called out for Coug talking points
I don't brag about playing zone in pickup hoops ... I laugh about it ... get that part straight.
That's a bitch move.
Work smarter not harder bitch

D1 athletes would knock you the fuck out playing zone in pick up ball. Don't run that bullshit.
You have no idea what my basketball background is. Quit embarrassing yourself.

What I do know is that the guys I’ve played with have been on the same court and beat NBA players ... guys I’ve played with regularly played with the UW team over the summer
I’ve spent a lot of time talking with a lot of players in the college/pro caliber back in the day ... the only thing that gets you in trouble is foolishly undercutting someone on purpose.
If you’re playing with idiots ... then just about anything will get you punched -
