Did we just have Spring Break?  I feel like I have been at work weeks and today was the first day back.  This week is going to be a busy week full of pee wee basketball, pee wee basketball, and did I mention.... pee wee basketball?

Speaking of pee wee basketball.  What is the opinion?  Is it a priority to win every game by only playing a few players or is it a priority to teach fundamentals and the love of the game and let everyone play?  Let's just say, I can see both points of view.  My heart aches terribly as I watch the ones who never touch the court sit on the bench while others, and I don't think these particular ones practice any harder than the bench warmers, get to play several minutes and demonstrate their NBA potential.  I like to win as much as the next person but is winning all that life is about.  Do we not need to create character in elementary school?  What about being a good sport?  What about recognizing effort?  I just don't know what to say.  Both sides could make a viable argument about their opinion.

Speaking of opinions, when did it become wrong to have an opinion?  Simply having an opinion doesn't denote you as a trouble maker- it just means you see things differently.  Who is to say the opinion opposite is not the one causing the problem? 

Another question that has been brought to my attention is the good basket people.  How does one get into the good basket?  Do they (the good basket people)  go around showing all the marvelous things they have done never daring to mention what and who they threw away to accomplish what they did?  Why is one not allowed to contribute to the conversation and let others know about these good basket people?  Would that be an opinion?  Oh yeah, an opinion gets you into trouble.
