Been a While...But I'm still here...

Basketball season pretty much makes me disappear as far as my family and friends are concerned. It's always been a difficult balance for me. We have about 3 weeks left, and it's not that I am looking forward to it being over--I have truly enjoyed this group of girls--it is that it has been a particularly frustrating season.

We are in a league we don't belong in and as a result, our girls have been used as the whipping post for other teams looking to pad their stats or redeem themselves after a loss to someone else.

Seriously...WHY would you still trap my girls as soon as they cross half court, steal the ball, and go down and score a layup...in the fourth quarter when you are up by 50+ and you still have your starting point guard only to take her out when she scored her career high. OR...why would you allow your guard with 3 seconds left--your team is up by 40+--to shoot another 3? HOLD THE BLEEPING BALL!

Frustrating. Coaches who allow their 16 year old girls to humiliate and embarrass other 16 year old girls--??? I can tell you I will never be one of those coaches and if Mads is ever on a team with a coach like that...we will have some issues.

Come on people...win with class.
