Practice Saturday, 3 p.m.

(Update, Friday: The practice unis are done. I picked them up from Kelii (Phyxius Sports) this afternoon. They look sweet! See you guys tomorrow.) 

Got the call this afternoon (Friday). Our practice jerseys are ready. So I drive over to Phyxius Sports.

What's in this box?

Woila!

Kelii Silva of Phyxius Sports displays our new practice jersey. It's a first! 

Kelii designed the logo and picked out the font. I like it!

Here's the reverse side. As a coach, this is going to make practice so much more efficient.

Makes me wish I was 15 and still playing organized basketball!

Nice Saturday ahead. My work assignment is in the morning/mid-day, so Saturday afternoon is free. We'll work on basics — shooting, ballhandling — like we did last Saturday. If we have nine guys, we can work on some X's and O's. But primarily, I like Saturdays as a day to refine the basics. It's good enough a routine for the pros. Good enough for the Thunder.

Good workout yesterday. I know it's tempting to automatically cancel when it gets cloudy in town, but when the sun is hitting that court all day, it won't stay wet for long. The rain finally got us, but we got a good hour of work done, guys. I'm happy we had nine despite the weather and having so many of us in spring sports (track, volleyball).

It was the first practice for our newest addition, Wilson MacLeod. Key is for everyone to turn in their registration/waiver forms and a copy of their birth certificate.

Next practice, again, is Saturday 3 p.m. See you guys then!
