[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As my high school's basketball coach used to say, "you can't teach tall." (that said, there were always a couple of players hovering around 5'6-5'8 on the team)[/quote]

Your coach was a washed-up-charity-case-drunk who lived on recycled garbage. Sorry.[/quote]

My kids played basketball all thru high school. I have literally heard at least 10 coaches say this over the years.[/quote]

Still doesn't mean its not losers coasting  on cliches.[/quote]

This is a weird take.

Basketball, out of all sports, clearly gives and advantage to height[/quote]

Yep, basketball for your average build of person is like a 6'8" person getting on an airplane and not being able to put their feet on the floor.

Average people just don't understand when some corner of the world isn't built ideally for them with umpteen different styles of medium shirts in each color.  On the other hand, basketball players are quite familiar with you know like the door frame or sitting in cars even just table chairs.  Just everywhere you go this just doesn't fit.[/quote]
