no no - we've had a raft of new guys come on board in the last year and I am sure that they would tell you that the veteran community has been generous and encouraging - so that's what's not a thing at all

as for standing out you certainly do - as the worst case of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome we've seen here in maybe 5 years

I'm not claiming that I know how to win here, so how is it Dunning-Kruger Syndrome?

I do claim that I know a lot more than you and asha-hole about everything there is to know about basketball. First off, being an official for 17 years I'd kill you both on the playing rules. Secondly, have either of you guys ever coached, or even played at a decent level?

I would bet that you both are just number crunching geeks who can barely dribble the ball.

You did claim that you knew how to win here though. When I told you that you should read a few forum posts to learn how to play this game, you literally said "I already know how to win here."

That's a direct quote.

You are also claiming to be better at something without having any idea how good the other person is. How do you know that someone else hasn't played, coached, and reffed at a higher level than you?

I'll take my chances against those 2 numbers crunching geeks. They are like Jonah Hill's character in MONEYBALL.

What does being a number crunching geek have to do with basketball ability?

I don't really get the argument. Real life experience in anything means Jack **** here, and Jack left town. I think just by being here you can consider yourself a stat nerd.

Anyway thinking of ditching this league. Besides, even if I play, The Texas A&M/Texas team is too sweet. Durant, Deandre, and Middleton just to name a few. Its a fair squad too, no complaining there. Not always about winning but with the added baggage this league is accumulating, my interest is fading.

There's not many good athletes who are also number crunching geeks, or vice versa. If you're a good athlete as a kid, the stats usually don't interest you much. If you're a bad athlete, but really like sports, many times you find another way to be involved, like poring into the stats.

This is nonsense. Just using two obvious examples: benhoidal and I are two of the nerdiest most number centric folks on this whole site and we were both college athletes.

Yea, I am out too, sorry.













Unless I get UCLA.

Ok, after going through all 14 pages and reading all the comments I decided I still want to enter a team. Next to baseball, basketball is my favorite team sport. Growing up I remember seeing a freshman basketball player named Lew Alcindor play at UCLA. Since then I have always been a abruin fan. Since I can’t use UCLA I’d like to enter their cross town rivals USC and use a combo team from San Diego State.
