This is not a far reaching thought.
AAU plays so many games and so many tournaments, I'm sure it can somehow dilute the thrill of winning or the pain of losing in kids.
The next game is usually that same day, the next tournament the next weekend - no time to be miserable over a loss or celebrate a victory.
Yup. K would have been like, "You can trip, you can flop, you can whine, you can stomp... but you never laugh!"

Briscoe thinks he is better than he is, and Cal wont tell him otherwise. Against good competition, his Jersey style layups dont work, gets it stuffed or alters his shot.
Highly overrated player, cant win with players like that, and dont give me he is a good defender B.S., Jackson lit him up, Adel lit him up, Hubbs lit him up

You make some good points. Early on this season he played really good.
Monk is not toxic. It is dumb to suggest he is. He needs to improve his D, which was actually very good the GA game, and rebounding which he never has in his life...
For every good thing Briscoe does, he does 2 bad things... not a winning/smart player... he'd rather talk **** and lose than keep his mouth shut and focus on winning
I rarely agree with your posts, but...
You are correct... I think great players HATE LOSING, more than they love winning.
This!
The gator board literally has a thread watching the comments here. They are in hysterics over there. Can't fault em...
Funny. This time last year UF fans had no idea basketball season had started. It was a ghost town over there. Now all ten of their fans are making fun of us.
They are such fairweather fans.
Really wish the theatrics would stop after every call that goes against him as well. I think hes stressed about the league and overcompensating. It's hard to kill a kids dreams, but he needs some people to be realistic with him right now because it's hurting the team. He still has potential but needs to become a better shooter and needs to develop a runner/floater desperately which isn't going to happen before the 2017 draft.
I can't believe fans will defend his laughing. It's unreal what Cal has done to the
I don't care if he just won the lottery, which he does in June. Theses guys need to know one thing money won't be able to buy is an NCAA title. They'll never have another chance at one.
Correct. But would it have been better if he flipped them off?
Good grief, he is 19...
Oh, yeah... he should know how to act and handle every situation by that age
Where were all these new Monk haters the UNC game he won by himself?
Or the GA game he won all by himself?
The NBA crap about Monk makes you look like little jealous teenage girls.

Yeah!
I hate fans whose loyalties toward players, coaches and the like change so dramatically with success or failure.
They are the worst.
There is more to basketball than just being a shooter, there is rebounding, defense and taking care of the basketball. hope he can turn into a complete player before he leaves.
Playing a guard who can't shoot is a burden.
The defensive match ups when we don't run a zone hurt us with Briscoe guarding the 3 position as well.
It was very poor form by Munk, considering they were getting their doors blown off. But he apparently wasn't laughing at the game situation but that the crowd was mocking him for it being his birthday. He should already understand every UK player and their actions are under a microscope. So while I think it was not smart on his behalf, I don't think it means he doesn't care about winning. At all. We were all teens at one time and did some very stupid things. But he doesn't need to be buried for it.
Right. What we need is for Briscoe to return to the role of utility player rather trying to do too much. When he tries to do too much, it kills us.
Neither he nor Fox should ever take a jumper longer than 10-12 feet. That's another thing that kills us.
Yep. Most fixable problem with this team in the short term. Replace Briscoe with Mulder and the offense will almost certainly run way smoother.
"I know new era cat will post this as he likes to troll on the Cat's Illustrated basketball forum"
"Willis is in big trouble after this loss, man!"
Where you a 5 star AA? Were you treated the same as Monk? Did you have the same coaches and influences as Monk? Did the opposing student section know your birthday?
Can you see where I am going with this?
I am not belittling or disparaging you for being that mature at 15, and I was also; but vilifying Monk for not being the same person as you or me is wrong.
