Answer:

Absolutely nothing. But, he may have a basketball under his shirt.

Will the Thrill is playing in an AAU basketball tournament for a high school that he will not go to. He is one of a few "white" kids on his team - the other boys cover the color spectrum. He is also playing for a team that is representing a "west side" school that doesn't necessarily have a great reputation.

The coach of his team is awesome - in a couple short weeks he has been able to mesh 12-15 boys together to form a cohesive team. They really play well together. They won their first game on Wednesday night and got the crap homered out of them in today's game. When no fouls are called on the other team except a mysterous technical foul on their coach with 5 minutes left and our team has enough fouls to put the other team in the double bonus less than 10 minutes into each half - then I smell foul. (ha, that's a pun)

Now - it's not my place to pick on officials - I have never been one - but I have experienced enough poor officiating in my life to know that the way our team was treated today was, unfortunately and pretty obviously because of the status of our school and the dominant color of our boys.

That just isn't fair.

or right..

so stupid.

In spite of it all, the boys persevered and tried really hard. And, my brother and his sweet post moves had an excellent second half. Good job Spartacus! Now if you can figure out how to use two hands to grab a rebound, you'll be unstoppable.
