Thumbs down

I have to tell you, I think the concept of a 1st and 2nd grade travel team is pathetic. Our local rec league starts at 3rd grade and just emphasizes learning fundamentals for the first two years with the objective of kids just having fun.

What happens when a 1st grader commits a turnover? Do his parents scream at him and tell him he just blew his college scholarship? I don't even want to think about what happens if a kid misses a "game winning" shot.

Maybe this is a Sports Illustrated sign that the apocolypse is upon us.

Yes...they travel to the schoolyard and back.

Just to counter and show all is not lost. Last summer Danny Manning brought a team of kids to an MAYB tournament here in Tulsa. He seemed like a great guy. He simply coached and was no trouble at all. I'm thinking he was worth more to his kids than this Allford guy.

Must be tough to be known as Steve Alford's brother. Hey, Barb, I'd like you to meet Mr. & Mrs. Steve Alford's Brother. Doesn't excuse his behavior, but I bet he has quite a complex. Probably brags that he beat his brother in HORSE once.
