My favorite thing about Austin Ash is when he talked about all the ways he made Garza a better player.

Iron sharpens iron.

I used to play in pickup games at a gym by my office and Tamika Catchings and her twin sister were regulars. Tamika is a HOFer and 6' 1". The talent at this gym was truly awful. Most of the dudes were in their 30s and 40s and I'd guess most never even played HS hoops. Anyway, Tamika could hang but it wasn't like she dominated. Frodes is right. Only way you could narrow the gap would be if you took some small guard from a tiny college and matched him against Candace Parker or Lisa Leslie where there was a big height advantage.

This is a great example of how people are terrible at relatively judging things that can't be compared directly, on multiple levels.

Like yes, Austin Ash sucks, but Austin Ash sucks as a walk on compared to scholarship D1 players. He's 6'3" and at least good enough to walk on at a D1 program. If he played pickup ball at your gym he'd almost certainly be one of the best players on the court. And he would dominate women's basketball.

Probably. Height wise they were even with the boys. They were just out classed physically. Zero explosiveness relative to the boys they were going against. Took them forever to get shots off too.
Their tall blonde girl played softball for me last year. My daughter has played against her in basketball quite a bit over the years. I can’t imagine her gangly mountain of uncoordination trying to compete against 8th grade boys.

Im fuckin pissed
I am too. I expected this from a dipshit like Clete, but anyone else who holds the same position has permanently tarnished their reputation with me. I now side with Doug in his rivalry vs Fletch

there will be ash supporters, and their devotion will be fierce

For the record, I can appreciate someone saying this because they dislike Ash. But to actually believe is something else. Lol.

I think someone likely said this in jest at some point and the retards thought they saw the their bat signal and revealed just how stupid they actually are.

Who told you that and why did you believe them?
I’ll speak for myself.
1. Probably Doug because he’s the loudest and he knows everything.
2. And I believed it because I thought bohannon would be gone and Weiskamp would be back. A more athletic team with better defense and still efficient on offense.

There is a local girls AAU team that is highly regarded nationally and has the top prospect in the class of 2026. Their coach thought it would be fun to enter them in the boys division of a tournament at the end of last season. They played the team my son is on and lost by 40. The top prospect in the country was held to 6 points and had her shot blocked about a dozen times. She basically gave up out of frustration.

It’s just not the same game.

This Clark and Ash stuff reminds me of a few years back when John McEnroe said Serena Williams would be like the 700th ranked mens player. Retards got butt hurt about that too. But McEnroe was right, just like Fro is right. That skinny, retard Ash would destroy Clark. If you believe differently, hit yourself in the fucking head with a hammer.

do you think it’s weird that Fran consistently is the first guy to offer kids who blow up, or how we get in the final 3 for some big time kids but get beat out?
Fran's strength seems to be identifying talent. His weakness seems to be signing it.

Halo needs to sponsor a one-on-one between Ash and Clark, and settle this once and for all.
