I got through my first weekend of JUCO basketball this weekend. The speed and strength of the players was a big adjustment I had to make early, but I felt after the first half game I did a nice job. I think what I liked the most is that the players and especially coaches have a much better understanding of the game and how we see the game. Our last game of the day was a couple of out of state schools and it got really ugly. 3 unsportsmanlike T's, one excessive time out T, and a player ejection in a game that was 2-4 points the whole way. We called a ton of off ball fouls, but the players were just beating the crap out of each other. I'm glad I was working with a really good, experienced JUCO guy in that one. It was great to see how he handled things, the players, and the coaches. I learned alot and hopefully didn't look like the total new guy to that level that I was.
