- allocate, on 01/06/2009, -0/+14Wow, a basketball coach ASKED a kid if he could hit layups and he said YES? Shocking.
- badqat, on 01/06/2009, -0/+10Usually, college coaches are trying to recruit and give 12 year old kids a scholarship...any word if this kid has committed yet? :-p
- blaydcor, on 01/07/2009, -0/+9Yes, those classic Dickens novels where 12 year olds are called upon to coach faltering sports teams
- ManUnitdFan, on 01/06/2009, -0/+9Why is the byline to the actual story "12-year-old sparks Raiders"? They were up by 7 at the half, and they won by 14. Sounds like the kid didn't do crap to motivate them.
- ThantiK, on 01/07/2009, -0/+8Dugg for "Can you see yourself in this jersey, unnamed child? I can't, because I don't know what you will look like. But if you get your mother's stare-down, I'm sure we have a spot for you at point guard. Call me!"...
- ru1dt, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4that's what I thought. It sounds more like a Disney movie - unless the coach is also making the kid work 18 hour days in a factory and clean his chimney

- rebo2, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2What Dickens story would that be??!

- Benso87, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Dugg for the part about Billy Donovan and the "unnamed child" at the end.

- alexra, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1this is old news I saw this on yahoo's front page a few days ago, but still pretty funny
- Shogi, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1"Coach calls on 12 year old"
Gee, I wonder if there's a more suggestive title they could have put there. They might as well have said "Coach calls on 12 year old to play ball", or "Coach recruits 12 year old ball handler", maybe even "Coach teaches 12 year old to drive the lane", "Coach gets 'em while they're young" - Spoomeister, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Scrooooge.... Scroooooge... your team suuuucks assss... business? zone deeefense should have been my business... tonight, you will be visited by 3 12-year-olds... (cue pedobear)
- okitasan, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1But can he really?
- syntaxgs, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Just FYI the 12 year old wasnt skilled or anything He really Could not probably hit layups and was Just some random person
- rickyroca, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Sad that he would have gotten a chair thrown at him and told to "Get the f**k outta here you moron!" if he said NO.
- ashishfred, on 01/13/2009, -0/+0Haha!!! i really didnt imagine that texas tech would be in such a conditon.... the players should
be ashamed !!!!!!!!!!!! and why the heck is the coach calling a 12 year old...... he could have
done other things ya know...... and that too in the middle of the game...... man that was pure
stupidity for you!!! the news is gud!! :D - GonFreaccs, on 01/07/2009, -0/+0a few days ago isn't that old >_>
