Maybe you have it backwards; all the off topic stuff might be the reason there aren't many basketball discussions.

If past off-seasons are an indicator, and I think they are, Scrappy is correct. There has been an increase in off-topic banter this summer, but no decrease in on-topic discussions. Off season just leaves a dirth of posting, and it always picks up about the time meetings start (and fall ball in Michigan).

Thank God for fall basketball in Michigan.

Are there any other states that plays interscholastic basketball in a season other than winter?

I am still trying to figure out how is Michigan special anymore with fall basketball?

Peace

Some MS leagues here in that mitten-shaped state still play girls basketball in the fall. The other day, we played our in-district rival and it felt liek a CYO reunion as 3 or 4 of the other team's players were ones I saw the previous winter playing 6th grade CYO basketball for opposing teams.

Prior to our league's merger with the adjoining league, there was a brainstorm to swap all our fall MS sports with spring sports. But I don't think that will be happening now.

LDUB, that's certainly possible; but I honestly don't think so. JMHO, but there just isn't a lot of basketball to discuss between May and October.
