Just wrapped up the 2014 spring season of hoops. So proud of my boys for being crowned the JAM Spring League consolation champs. This achievement really speaks to the commitment, discipline, hard work and positive attitudes they maintained, especially after starting the season 1-4. 

It's not how you start, it's how you finish!

On Shooting – Instead of tracking the amount of TIME spent shooting in the gym, a player should track the NUMBER of game shots taken. If one thinks about the time spent chasing down a ball, socializing, and taking low quality and non-game-like shots (like those half-court heaves), a "one-hour workout" may only result in 15 minutes of actual and beneficial time spent on improving one's shot. Charting 300-400 quality shots, on the other hand, may take 45 minutes or 2 hours. Players should adjust their mindset and shooting plan accordingly if becoming a better shooter, and earning more playing time, are personal goals.

When you see something projected on film, it's like looking at an oil painting versus watercolor...There's a richness to it, including the light of the projector, that you can't get on digital. You can't get a certain type of red or a certain type of orange any other way. They're unique."

–Christopher May, Film Curator and Founder of the International Experimental Cinema Exposition (TIE), a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of and education about a dying film medium, thanks to the ongoing adoption of all things digital, and the visual artistry of analog projection.
