i was going to talk about that issue of curry basketball they're allowing the they won the high school's title or the whatever it's called the city title with seven guys that are ineligible yeah it was a city title yeah they're all in twenty four during the season because they also some of those guys are ruined ruled ineligible ok so why are they playing basketball because basketball in my book is called extra curricular activity which you get to play when you meet all the cried all the credentials that you need to school last tickly first so therefore you should not even be on the floor you should be in the classroom and or getting some type of help afterwards i don't understand why they have this big thing at rainbow push in this is me speaking here it's ridiculous what they should be worrying about is making sure that the kids can read right before we play basketball well apparently they shouldn't have been playing basketball that was why they had to forfeit their whole season i want to stop at curry i'll go to notre dame who had a very good quarterback that took on the national championship and he cheated do have the same they do the same punishments for the regular students as they would for a football player he missed the whole semester he's back he was readmitted now not anybody can be a readmission this yesterday in chicago news and i want to talk about earlier because they're also talking about they don't want their kids to take standardized test that right thing going on right now so here we have some of the lowest test scores in the country and we've got seven guys on a team in their city school that are not eligible all year and the big thing is whether they should be able to play basketball or not is that not part of the problem the big thing should be why are seven kids out of twelve an eligible you're a no no and the plan should be getting kids educated correct and basketball should be the last thing that i would be worrying about of seven of my twelve kids were ineligible now i mean i think it's a problem and it's  you know it's complicated though i mean i don't want to make excuses for kids that are aren't doing the work academically and then are allowed to play but when might they get to learn from the f c c they have a thirteen percent graduation rate right and they won what ten maybe they should have an option now and some kids are not fit for college but yet they're good football players about ballplayers well we're talking about the see right there let's get back to high school hoops we go to class two a you're listening to my c and i'm trying to get him going here is you know if you mike if you ever listen to me to a game i don't really care that they're kids and if they act stupid i call that way and i acted stupid when i was that age so many of those kids will and if they don't know how to play the game of basketball which many do not and they don't want to block out i call it that way if they throw a shot up when they're going to go up against three people and there's two people open on the floor i say they should have passed the ball right and because that's what our coaches used to teach us and i know it's a really tough thing for these kids don't understand the fundamentals of the game but i think it's something that they should learn right but again this gets back to the larger sense of everyone wants to make a top ten play on e s p n right i want to be on the top ten i want to dunk i want to dunk or i want to or i want to shoot a three and that's why we have the style of play that we have which show and you can't blame these kids because that's the only thing that they've seen right these kids that are fifteen sixteen years old they've been watching e s p n soon as they watch t v and it's the top ten hey i want to be on it and sort of i just want to make the proper pass or catch the ball  right way or learn how to pivot learn not to travel with the ball and those are things that you see all day long i think a youtube contributes to some of that play better well some of that style of play at least in basketball and  it's a real difficult you can be difficult for some of these kids to to to know you know who to listen to and how to play sometimes sure and so i think that shows up  i say that all the time that these kids e s p n and a are terrible for our kids and they should be kept away from both of those things i say that eighty you actually is spawn more really more great basketball and more players than ever before i think you have more really good players probably because of a you the fact that you can play year round i think there's a lot of good a you coaches i think there's a lot of good stuff you can do in it you think there's a lot of bad stuff you can do in a you and so part of it is just a matter of you know figure now what part of it's good and what part of it you know doesn't work i mean every single i mean who is a player that you respected over the years that a i'm sure that he did and you know then how do you all know that's why neither him have any knees left robbie home on scott martin can't they can't put two knees together between the four of them right and that's because there's diminishing returns after you don't get any better playing eighty games as opposed to sixty you just don't right and your knee is a tread and these a coach's want to win and they don't care how many games they play i would rather there's nothing wrong with playing all your all year long if you're specializing in a sport you want to go do that for your life but i would i would take that schedule cut the games down and actually bring in someone that teaches them the game of basketball and you can do that by doing drills without going  percent all the time you can learn fundamentals i mean i when i started out at gene camp it pretty and then gene katie and the first thing we did every day was we used to go in and they had all these different different sites that you went to and you had to go to each little stage and you learn something in each stage we kind of hated it but that's how you learn the game they broke the game down into all the different parts of the game and you learn how to play they don't do that anymore i think if you take a guy like robbie home and scott martin and you teach them a little bit more fundamentals and i think they're pretty good players as was each one more you know i think that they would have a better shelf life now you do realize oh let me in the me just say this a lot of the team now these teams can play they play they have team camps or team tournaments during the summer so they have control of their two they're players to a degree now some of the really special players will like for instance iron edwards will do and he plays out of  indianapolis team out and you need you need napa so he he's he's a different case you know he's got a different situation hey it means a top fifty player so i mean you know him so and so some of that you know i mean they are you are working with those players i mean during during the summer now quite frankly the coaches aren't crazy about the high school coaches don't really i think they cept that team stuff but you know it cuts down you know cuts into their summer time their summer hours i don't get paid extra for it it's you know it's an it's i mean there is a lot of craziness that goes on with it and you're listening to the job it's currently seven fifty ten minutes and from we're going to take one short break they will finish up with my cut you can get the post tribune this morning it's on page thirty one we've gone over most of the pics we'll take a short break and we'll finish up with two a in one a but you can read him and he does a nice breakdown and also the post does a good job on page thirty of breaking down each class each sectional when the games are who plays when so also has key players to watch some of the stat lines and gives you the schedule so go on out and catch a game tonight or wednesday or friday and saturday because there should be quite a few will take a short break we come back we'll finish up with my cousin talking about high school hoops and everything that surrounds it
