I remember back in the 1989 Fred Barakat (old supervisor of the ACC) saying that the easiest game in the ACC to work was UNC / Duke. He just needed three guys that could handle (manage) Dean and Coach K
The same applies on all levels..........
Dematha / Gonzaga ( DC Catholic League )
Roman Cath vs. Neumann Goretti ( Philly Cath. League)
Boys & Girls vs. Lincoln ( NYC Pub. League)
These are all easy games to work..... kids can play through more contact and
defend better and there is better coaching.
I was fortunate to work at Slam Dunk at the Beach in Delaware back in the day............... those games were easy compared to your suburban hack fest with 10 white kids who are all 5'11 trying to play like they are 6'2".
The irony is that Stiff may have to make more decisions on this game than on some of the jv games he worked this past year.................
