How many high school teams have every player dunking?

There are a lot of college teams that don't have every player who can dunk on their team. A 'decent' high school boys team is not a high-flying act that makes the State Finals in their division. They are a 15-7 team that does fairly well and maybe makes the regional playoffs. If you want to load up an elite team like Oak Hill and have them playing together with terrific coaches, by all means, go ahead. A decent high school team is NOT beating a WNBA team. The difference between a decent high school team and an all-star high school team is an ocean's worth of difference in athleticism, skill and overall experience playing basketball. ** Edited by hoosnowahokie at 12/4/2024, 1:24:31 PM

Conspiring to freeze the Acc at 5 bids doesn't help...

In the long run people will just stop watching, but that’ll take time

Agree- sad but true. Power ($$$) corrupts, and absolute power ($$$)

It’s hurting gaining young fans, too. My 6th grader

I’d worry more about him following WBB really.

WBB is still a compelling sport

It may be obnoxious to you but not ignorant. Pls be inclusive

The truth you are espousing speaks very poorly

Nope! Very true!**
TOUGH TURKEY • 12/04/24 02:02 PM ET
I'd say it's likely true. That said, I don't think that's a reason to hate

What is really shocking is the inability of our men’s
GreenvilleVT • 12/04/24 02:09 PM ET
Yeah, that's a good example of the disparity in men vs. women in sports.**

The size of a soccer field GREATLY increases
hoosnowahokie • 12/04/24 01:06 PM ET
The difference is even more pronounced in basketball due to spacing

Did you ever play basketball?

I'll have you know I led Thomas Harrison Jr. High in rebounds a mere 15

It's not even remotely true.

Do you know who the women’s coach uses to practice against?

Why are you using soccer to make a point?
hoosnowahokie • 12/04/24 01:13 PM ET
No, it's not anything close to what you're suggesting re: Alabama and NFL.

CKB debacle was sort of the beginning of the end for me also. I naively

College sports is essentially like a strip club.
