How much does Smith weigh? He looks much smaller

He was only 113 last year so if he’s weighing in at 125 he’s probably not cutting much.

The horns set is actually effective when used properly. It should allow for spacing, but the way Pikiell or Brandin Knight teach it, the F and C never seem to cut hard enough for the guard after seeing the screen where the guard either drives or dishes to a cutting big man or pass ro one of our wings for an open look.

Our set always seems to bottleneck and/or the defenders clog the space and the guard just dribbles around looking to pass out of it. Personally, I’ve seen it work to perfection, but not with us. Give me a motion offense like McCaffery any day of the week.

The problem it is literally the only true set we run And the other issue is it’s being run like you say without proper spacing and too far away from the basket. Lending the cutting big man to be in a no man’s land, too far to be effective with an easy dribble lay up and beyond their mid range jumper, and too compact of spacing that doesn’t allow for an attacking dribble drive from the guard. I tell you there have been times where I thought we were risking a backcourt call because the spacing was so poor.

This roster screams for a proper motion offense. 2 dynamic athletes that don’t have a problem creating their own shot and multiple peoples that should be great screeners, 2 additional slashing type guards and multiple that have the ability to pass and hit jumpers with space.

Why do our home refs always allow our opponents to do nothing and not call a stall?

That’s a hell of a performance for Chapman.

He was winning the entire match. Even rode out Ludington for the entire 2nd period. Was up 8-4 and Ludington took over. Hell of a performance. Cranford should be able to win the dual and advance to the state finals.

Serious questions:

1. Would they continue play if it was snowing heavily?

2. If so, do they use an orange ball?

No guarantee, but the Penn - Dartmouth game last March was played in Hanover even though 5 inches came down during the game. Total storm was 10. Turf field they plowed totally before the game and at halftime with a truck. Shovelled the sidelines, goals and faceoff X during timeouts. Things got interesting late in the 2nd almost 3 inches on snow on the field. Orange ball iirc.

Bettman said on WednesdY that next World Cup of hockey won’t have a mishmash team - and only countries represented.

I’d say:
US
Fin
can
Swe
Rus
czech
Slovakia
Germany
Swiss

Will be the next itineration

You have 9 teams listed. Assuming they go with 8, Slovakia or Germany would be the odd man out. Switzerland seems to have passed both of them by.
