this and the nazt "this...thread...is...locked" are my two personal favorite visual contributions to the new and old communities, respectively
I played basketball in North Carolina. When you play in the mountain conferences, the players aren't dirty but they know how to make sure that you don't get an "And 1." Some of those fouls were just fouls. Yeah the fat kid is probably a meanie to the other little kids on the other team, but if we put every foul that two post players on a team committed in one game back to back out of context on a youtube video, put it in slow motion and labeled it "Dirtiest player in HS basketball" you would probably think those kids were thugs too.
I'm not saying it is not bad, it's just not what you are making it out to be.
It is ironic (or coincidental?) that you say that... I also played HS basketball in NC and happened to have played in one of the 'mountain conferences' - if your username indicates your time at Wake, I was long before your time. I can tell you that when I played there would have been multiple flagrants, ejections and/or fistfights if those types of fouls had occurred.
That kid is not a 'meanie', he is a punk and does not belong on a basketball court.
Sitting here I am chuckling. Racer comes to the thread blustering and attacking me...now that most of the people agree with me in some form, he has stopped the insults.
You know you can say you were wrong and shouldn't immediately attack anything and everything I say.
You could even say,"Yep you do have some experience and contacts in basketball."
Nah that's a bridge too far. I'll be happy with a baby step.

RJ...just so you know...
I (and I'm sure I'm not alone in doing so) tend to avoid threads once you detonate your patented preteen-girl-drama-bombs and single handedly shatter the likelyhood of rational forms of discussion continuing on in the thread.
Do not take Racer's silence as proof that you were right... He probably just found something better to do with his time than read your squabbling; I wish I was that smart.
Umm, what? #5 was atrocious. And #4 isn't bad until the fat bruiser wants to get in the other kid's face. (The one he didn't push halfway across the court.)
