Why is it creepy for a coach to promote his pupils? Are all coaches creepy then? Why don't you quit posting comments that make no sense? Keep up the good work Coach Jim.

from the things he's posted on this board so far i highly doubt that. teaching pre-pubescent girls how to shoot a jump shot =/= basketball guru

Not saying you're wrong but I know a lot of them workout w/ Jim too. I know Pixley and I used to coach at Sullivan but we didnt have any girls workout w/ Pix. Maybe they do now.

Jim has been doing nextlevel basketball camp for years, we used to send girls over there during the summer to work on jump shots and ball handling.

On an unrelated note: I really have an issue with "personal trainers" aka AAU/Summer Camp pimps that attach their financial dreams on the backs of young ladies, with hopes that they will make the big money in the WNBA (and kick some money back).

Anyways...

I have a question for Coach Jim. On your website, you list some of your favorite quotes:

quote:
If you wait till you "feel like It" doing it, you probably never will!

Does this quote not apply to you getting a college degree? Or maybe the appropriate quote to young ladies who question Coach Jim's personal commitment to a college education:

quote:
Aim at nothing and you'll hit nothing!

Some girls would ask - Why hasn't the master of the perfect "jump shot" ever been a varsity high school coach?

I might respond with your favorite quote:

quote:
No one plans to fail, they just fail to plan!

Finally, you name drop how you and Pete Maravich "became friends" during his NBA career.

Does the below quote apply to your friendship?

quote:
You are who you associate with!

Are you also a recovering drug and alcohol abuser?

Do you realize the girls that "make it big" in the WNBA make about 50k?

Coach Jim,

We're forming an area rec league team. We play on Tuesday nights (8pm or 10 pm) during the Spring. You want in?

Please pass the invite along to the guy in the camo hat as well.

(Unfortunately, we don't get a lot of 14-17 year old girls come watch us play - I don't know if that will effect your decision.)
