NBA Scouting 101: The Five-Tool Basketball Player (And A Look at Texas’ NBA Prospects)
Basketball can be thought of as live-action chess. Each side has five pieces (ideally) moving in unity with the goal of shooting a ball into a basket. The offense tries to create a situation where a player can get an open look at the basket, while the defense tries to prevent the same...
Inside Texas Basketball
I got some great stuff from a close friend and trusted source who attended the Rick Barnes coaching clinic on Sunday, November 14th. This is a must read if you have any interest in Longhorn basketball. I gleaned myriad insights into the program and feel good about our long term direction under...
Two Games In And Todd Wright Is Your MVP
To start the season two blow out wins are great but keep in mind they came against Navy and Louisiana Tech. Neither one of these teams are worth a flip athletically and each were more than accommodating in their willingness to run with us. I was shocked that both teams agreed to play in our tempo...
Little Things Against Navy
Vasherized did an outstanding job of covering The Big Things, so like Arundhati Roy, I will dedicate this Texas-Navy breakdown to the God Of Small Things. Glad it's basketball season. Not just because football has disappointed, but because college basketball is awesome. And it's rewarding to...
Podcast #26: The One Where Trips Vasherized Run The Mikan Drill
We're lucky to have Kevin under the Barking Carnival Big Top to talk Texas hoops as he knows his hoops inside and out. Kevin has his own college hoops blog at March To March and he's adding contributors there so be sure to check that out as the roundball action heats up. Kevin and Vasherized...
Todd Wright Is The Best In The Business

Texas Longhorns Basketball - Notes from inside Denton Cooley Pavilion
Trips and Hank Dudek have been doing a great job discussing hoops and we're all very excited about this season's squad and their continued excellent analysis and coverage. In an effort to augment some of what they've talked about, I wanted to pass along some paraphrased comments we've received...
Texas Hoops Schedule 2009-10
The schedule was released last week but Trips has been on a transcontinental bender from Hawaii to Winconsin since ipowers rolled into town. Can you blame him? So I'll share a little known fact with you that even Trips doesn't know. A few years ago, Deloss started outsourcing the basketball...
Billy Clyde, Todd Wright, & Ty Lawson
Dude, I can get you a toe If Ty Lawson isn't healthy, the Elite 8 is UNC's best aspiration. For all of the media's Tyler Hansborough love, he isn't the best player on Carolina's basketball team. Without Ty Lawson pushing the break, D'ing up, and dropping 15 points with 8 dimes, UNC is ripe for...
2008 Texas Basketball Preview
It's that time again. The weather is changing, leaves are turning, and I'm only running my A/C during the day. Yep, it's almost basketball season, and the 2008 Texas hoops squad is already mixing it up with some of the country's elite programs with a scrimmage vs. Davidson earlier this week and...
