THE GAMES AT AMES
MSB Elite 15U played in the Adidas Midwest Classic in Ames, and went 3-2. MSB Elite had some great shooting out of two particular players: Britanie Olson averaged 15 points per game and Kelsie Ammann of Lakeville North had 4 3’s in one game and 5 3’s in another game.
MSB played two teams twice over the weekend.

COACH TEAS' PET PEEVES
Here are the latest editions of coach Teas' pet peeves. Last week I listed #12-10. You can find the entire list on the right side in the links. Look under the gbbrecruit links 'instruction'

#9: Letting offensive players beat you down the floor. A coach I know well is famous for yelling "Get ahead!"
#8: Not knowing how to switch and recover on screens.
#7: Trying too often to block shots looking for the roar of the crowd. Boys are more guilty of this than girls on this. Bad things happen when you lose your feet: fouls, coming down out of position to block out, mad a fool of by a good ball or head fake.

MORE INSTRUCTION
I came across this on Brian McCormick's site. It is all about ball handling. There is a YouTube video lasting 2:01.

I have updated the scores on the Walker tournament that I posted on Sunday Morning.
