And this may be my last season period for other reasons which are not basketball related.

My first college game was in 1990. I stopped to coach, started again then stopped cause of day job. Started again...and not sure why I still am at times...
I understand the sentiment. There are a lot of things I miss. Nowadays the game is nothing but a track meet(my games). Very little teamwork etc. I like seeing a motion offense with a back door cut etc. I don't see that in college anymore.
The players I see are much more athletic than in the past but there aren't nearly as many good basketball players IMO. It's the way it is.
