    More and more shooters have no backspin on the ball? They shoot a knuckleball with no rotation. I don’t get it. It may be the wave of the future. Like how straight on kickers evolved into the soccer style kicker.

        I am a Huggins fan but he’s doing a garbage job this year. He bitches and moans about player effort and dedication but his job is to get that effort. Let’s go Hugs! I swear to Christ, if you’re reading this Hugs, you rooster grabber....get the shit together!

              There are no good shooters anymore.

              Sport has changed.

              Ball handling, shooting, passing, all basic fundamentals... everyone sucks at it anymore.

                  ESPN reporting :
                  Bobby "Rooster" Huggins told players to get their shit together or Get the Fook Out at team meeting earlier in the day .

                  Guess he does read SBR

                      I blame the no spin on the beards. Too many beards in the league. They look borderline homeless.

                        Simple: legs power your shot, not arms

                        Today's college players are all 6'3- 6'7 tall skinny lengthy kids with kindling for legs

                        College coaches would be well served to recruit 2 or 3 farm boys that can hit 50% from 3's to put out there w the thourobreds
