First let me say that I've always found 3 on 3 very intriguing....
Coach Cassara, you talking basketball? or whatt....? You make some intriguing comments. Yesterday "safe words", now this?

?The thought has occurred that you may be more off the wall than me.? ?
Yep, played Wally ball with 8-10 guys weekly for 10 years and after blasting into? walls, having my finger split, thumb dislocated, ankle and shoulder sprains, I decided a few years back that skiing and golfing were the two sports I wished to play until I was 125.
We played Wallyball on a racquetball court. It's very fast, very intense and a blast to play. Having good "court sense" (knowing where the ball was all the times) was a huge attribute and made for very good players.
Yes.? I was making up the part about Kansas growing up.? Court sense and playing with the same guys enough to develop a sense of team.? However, I didn't at all expect that our group would be nearly that competitive or over-achieving or active.? I haven't played in 5 years, and I long ago stopped running into walls. (although Lynn's post yesterday admitted that she still runs into trees).
Ron, where were you when I was learning to ski. I needed those crash pads for all of the falling I did (and still do to a lesser degree).
