Good Time in PA

Posted by Barry

Had a really good time Friday evening doing a shooting clinic for Morrisville HS boys. Players paid attention and asked excellent questions. Changed and/or improved shooting techniques significantly. Shout out to Coach Orick Smith and Dave Reither, really caring and good guys. Look to work w/ them again real soon.

Shooting Clinic Today in PA

Posted by Barry

Looking forward to doing shooting clinic tonight for high school kids in Morrrisville,PA. Always fun to get on the court and help players improve their games. Doesn’t matter whether it’s little kids or NBA guys, it’s also great to lace ‘em up, hear b- balls bouncin’ and sneakers squeakin’.

NBA Playoff Schedule/Format

Really dislike playoff format. After every other day of games, the Lakers-Suns series doesn’t start for about a week. Hate 2-3-2 games in Finals.

Times Have Changed $$$

Not complainig but… in 1986 I coached Quinnipiac University to a 25-4 record, ranked 3rd or 4th in USA most of year and NCAA wins. I got $5,000 for the season and had to manage a hot dog joint to make ends meet. They recently signed coach to $1.5 million, 5 yr. deal.

Looking this week to work w/ Patrick Robinson aka Pat Da Roc. You may have seen him on the “And 1″ tour, w/ the Globetrotters or on Youtube. Tremendous balhandler who just came back from tour in China. He wants to work on his shot for an opportunity in NBA. Love working w/ folks try to reach their dream.

Thanks Hubie Brown

Thanks Hubie Brown!!! If it wasn’t for Hubie, I wouldn’t have my daughter. Years back came back to NJ after NCAA’s from Quinnipiac University to rebuild Upsala College’s program. Main reason was that the Knicks practiced at Upsala and opportunity to watch Hubie teach. Met ex-wife and had World’s Best Daughter.

Magic go up 3-0 vs Bobcats

Posted by Barry

Real neat watching end of Magic’s game as Jameer Nelson scores 32 pts. for 2nd time in playoffs. I especially enjoyed the announcers saying the Magic want the ball in Jameer’s hands at end of game as he’s a 85% foul shooting. Wasn’t the case his rookie season when shot 68%. After that season was when he worked w/ me.

Lakers, Cavs Lose at the Line in Playoffs

Posted by Barry

Cavs and Lakers lose due to poor foul shooting. Cavs shoot only 20-31 from the line or 64% losing 108-106. LA goes to the line only 12 times while losing to Thunder who shoot 27-34 or 80%, making 17 more pts from foul line in 101-96 Thunder win. Once again proving the importance of foul shooting.
