Title: Scoop Basketball game
Post by: muphan on January 05, 2011, 11:23:37 AM
I think that it would be fun for scoopers all around the country to organize a local pick up game/games. This would be a good way to see who is all talk and who actually has it. Also a fun way to meet alum and connect with other marquette fans. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Not sure this could gain much traction.  The site's most prolific poster is a tiny, tiny fella.

I'll take all you young punks on.  I still play three days a week.  (And can hardly walk the other four.)

I'm a 6', slow, fat, traditional player that likes to hoist 3s, cherry pick, and plays bad defense.

I'll be a captain.

time and place

Did you type slow on that post.  How can it show up on the board, but yet you still have 0 posts?

Personally, I play best when I have great help defense (meaning I can play great defense on the first step or two, but I need help after that) and the guy defending me is helping out guarding my teammates, leaving me wide open for the three.  With those limitations in addition to my current lung capacity...I'll stick to being the designated towel waver to rev up the huge crowds that will undoubtedly show up to watch these games.

I do a really solid Buzz impression with a buzzed head and a powder blue sports coat when coaching a friend's team.

I call coach.

I'm a 6'1", slow, gettting fat, traditional player that likes to hoist 3s, cherry pick, and plays bad defense.

I'll be the other captain, but I'll give you 1st pick based on my height advantage.

You can not beat me.  2nd place Padre Sierra...beat Quemont Greer's team.  

I don't hold back for old men or kids either.   I'm talking elbows running back if some oldie starts making a few sky hooks.

Teams should be lead by Chicos and Ners.

Ners dressed as Buzz...Chicos dressed as Crean.

Losing team has to post 1 nice thing about the other coach per day in the Superbar.

Whens the draft!?

IN - great idea...so long as the nice thing I have to post each day pertains to the Real Tom Crean - and not Chicos.   ;D  I'd also like to be a player/coach so I could insert myself into the game as needed to ensure that my team wins, and thus Chicos will have to post nice things about Buzz daily.  Wait, he does this already, but for whatever reason I construe them as being largely insincere.

You got yourself a challenge... member of a 3rd Place Padre Sierra team... Still play regularly, also workout regularly... bring it on!

And you lied somewhere in your post... Quement Greer's team won it all in 1997, and he was the tournament MVP...

Unless you were talking about 1996, when Greer was a 7th grader playing in an 8th grade league... then you would have played for St. John Vianney  ... and if that is correct, I am bred to hate you, as you guys were our rival 7-8th grade... Im a few years younger than you, and they were the only team that gave us any bit of trouble in our league schedule.

You guys are completely overrating the Padre Serra.  The Catholic school leagues around the area are not good.

I'd whoop you all up.  Got a good 6 years less of wear and tear on my joints.

Catholic school ball in most areas is now pretty craptastic.  It used to be one of the only ways that kids could play ball outside of the YBA and on the playground, but with the advent of middle school "travel teams," the quality of coaching and play in the Catholic schools has declined rather rapidly. 

Here in Indiana, we had a Catholic school team that went 38-0 a few years ago, and only one of those kids (who are now sophomores or juniors) is playing in high school.

For the most part I would agree with you. The club teams and aau teams have taken the best players away and the milwaukee archdiocese did not allow participation on any other team. But now out of necissity the archidiocese as of last year has allowed palyers to play both on a club team and a school team. They also allow parishioners who go to public school to participate. The quality of players has therefore slightly improved.

Having said that I coached a pretty good team and entered several tournaments with public schools also in the tournament. We always whipped up pretty good on the public school teams as did most decent catholic school teams.

TJ Bray was Padre MVP in 2006, he's done OK.  But I think your right about travelling team influence.

My kids school was looking good for a run @ Padre championship, but one dad had the swell idea that the three best players needed better competition and started a traveling team.  We went to the quaterfinals with what we had left.  Funny thing, only one of the three played varsity basketball (they all could of).  2 of the three play D1 football, one plays d2 football.  One douche nozzle dad had to throw his weight around though.

Played a mean wing on a soft 1-3-1 zone.

St. Alphonsus, my story sounds like your story.

Didn't go to St. Al's, was a CCD kid.

And to those hating the Padre Sierra... my team played in an AAU tournament around the area, we being the only "church" team... we did quite well for ourselves, losing in the championship game.


I still play weekly, especially after basketball season (play pickup games with my high school students after school... show them the ropes - usually 3-4 times a week)

Maybe in honor of Mo Lucas or Hank Raymonds?
