⛹🏽TSF 111: Proof I once had hair
|
What’s up, internet basketball junkie? For Christmas, my significant other did something wildly thoughtful (and slightly dangerous): she had all of my college game film transferred from dusty old VHS tapes into digital format. Which means you are now officially on notice - you will be forced to watch grainy clips of me “getting buckets” in baggy shorts with long hair from 20 years ago. Long hair that peaked in college and has been in the transfer portal ever since. But the best part wasn’t the nostalgia. It was the group chats. Old teammates, old stories, old laughs - memories I hadn’t touched in years suddenly back in rotation. Funny how basketball does that. Quick reminder: The Junk Defense Toolbox $29 Christmas Special will be pulled from the store Wednesday afternoon - this is your last call.
THE STARTING FIVE🥇 Best of the Week I LOVE throwback basketball systems - but that’s usually a pretty small corner of the internet. So it’s been awesome to see how many people got a rush of memories from remembering "Bob Huggins' Press Virginia":
PG - 📼 Coach - Grind that extra tape, make the extra phone call, double check the practice plan... Grab those little extra edges where you can:
SG - 🔨 When this "hammer" set pops up on one of my college films, you'll get to see it, I promise:
SF - 🐐 Coach Kramer is a GREAT teacher of the game... His line of available products can be FOUND HERE:
PF - ⛹🏽 Press Breaker Warmup Drill: Groups of 5 players execute 5 trips up and down the court using each of our four press breaker entries and a press breaker special. On each inbound the group will reverse the ball one time before hitting the middle or throwing a long scoring pass.

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? First off - thank you for all the birthday love this week. I officially crossed into the “veteran minimum” years of life, and your messages made me feel a lot less creaky than I probably should. Seriously… I appreciate every single one of you. Now onto something Coach Kramer and I are fired up about. We’ve been back in the studio grinding, filming new supplemental video features to elevate a few of our products. These upgrades add clarity, real-game...
