Man that was awful. Completely killed my NBA fandom in a way that will never recover. I loved that Hornets team. The Bobcats were the worst possible replacement. -
OK, so this is a bit weird. When I coached at Salisbury High School when I first started teaching, I used to go over to Catawba College to watch film and talk football with their coaches. They were great. Curtis, Jalon's father, I assume, was a LB at Catawba and hired as LB coach by Bennett When Coastal started their program, they hired Catawba's coach Bennett. Bennett must have taken Jalen's father with him to Coastal. I am guessing that is about the time Jalon was born and why he was in Conway. So then his father comes back to Salisbury after Jalen is born and takes the head coaching job. Jalen is a good interview. I love the kid based on this, and I have heard good things from former colleagues of FB. Salibury (when I was there) was a very rough school. Gangs, drugs, etc. To put it in perspective, I was there for 2.5 years and I had four (4) students in my class (at different times) who committed murder during that time. A girl was raped in the gym by a few boys. One night, after a game (there is a road between the coaches offices in the gym and the rest of the school) the coaches watched film until 1 AM or so. When we were leaving to walk to our cars parked across that street, we noticed a car sitting in the middle of the road about 100 yards away with its lights off. The driver took off when we neared the street, so we all hit the ground. As the car passed, we heard about 6 or 7 gunshots. The next day, the van behind where we fell to the ground had 2 bullet holes in it, about 5 feet above the ground. All that to say this: If the young man on the video endured anything like that, I want him to succeed and I found it interesting that he mentioned playing for the Panthers. I am not sold on the player as a fit here based on our needs, but I am sold on the person. Very proud of him for some reason that many may not understand.
