GeorgeC 1 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 We started out the season well, with two very well executed games. We won our first two pre-season games 17-8 and 19-4. Based on that, we were assigned to the upper division. Note: YMCA, 3rd grade boys, random selection to make up the team.We got to our first game. I knew the other team was pretty good with a fast PG and a big kid down low. But they only had 4 players and we had all 8 of our players. We started the game anyway, and they scored a quick 2 points. Our kids just looked like they couldn't wake up. It was an 11am Saturday game. Eventually, we were down 2-8. Slowly though, our kids made one bucket, then another to bring it to 6-8. Last minute of the game, we called time, set up the play and our PG drilled it at 13 seconds to set the tie. As bad as we played, I was going to be happy to go home with a tie.But, the fat lady hadn't sung yet.At this age, the defense has to retreat back to the half court line. They can only apply defensive pressure once the offense crosses mid. 3 seconds on the clock. The player inbounds by rolling the ball (like bowling) to the PG waiting at half-court. He picks the ball up, takes one step and heaves the ball. That ball went straight through the net. It was a beautiful shot. Great game, but we lost 10-8. No video from anyone though.UPDATE: We found video. It starts at about 6 seconds in to this video: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
