Oh, my, Scrapper1 !

I have no idea what's bothering you, Mick. I specifically wrote: "I'm not talking about an "enforcer", just a kid who doesn't really know what he's doing, except that he's supposed to body-up the other team's big guy."

I'm not saying he's a bad kid. I'm saying there are kids out there who are on the team only to stay in shape and don't really know how to play basketball. That's the kid that was originally called a "game disruptor". I didn't hang that tag on him.

If you're trying to tell me that such kids don't exist, then I'm going to humbly disagree. If you're telling me that I shouldn't pre-judge him and tell him not to bleep up my game, then I completely agree and said as much. Just call the contact that's there.

I'm not "profiling" anybody. I'm not the one who brought up the "game disruptors" in the first place. I'm merely trying to explain what that person originally might have meant. What he meant was "Beware of the bruiser with no basketball skills", because this kid generally comes into the game in a mass substitution in garbage time.
