In that insurance commercial where the youth basketball coach's SUV is robbed and his team's uniforms are stolen, how come the insurance agent couldn't stay with the car while the coach went with his team to the game?
Everybody wanted the insurance agent at the game.
The headline is the bigger question. From my experience as a youth basketball player, it's nearly impossible to play man-to-man defense as a kid. Kids get too lazy on defense. They work better in a zone.
When my 8th grade team played the only team in our league that played a man defense, we lost. And we had a significant height and speed advantage over them. But we couldn't run a halfcourt offense.
And with that there goes LAT's livlihood.
Last week: "He'll be held back for the next few days, but it isn't expected to be an issue for long."
This week: "Anderson apparently will be out longer than originally indicated, as the club is concerned that the flare-up of his surgically repaired right elbow could recur with overuse."
It nice to know some things don't change.
