Playing in the Low Post: Tiago Splitter

Today we watch a low post move. It’s important because it has to do with the development of Tiago Splitter, the young Brazilian pearl.
Splitter started playing as a pro at a very young age and there hasn’t been a more promising player like him in the Spanish leagues until Riki Rubio appeared. Tiago started playing [...]

Hey! Whatever Happened To Reggie Theus?

At the conclusion of every NBA season, the media carnival comes to town, but this county fair has only one ride, the “coaching carousel”.
In the next few weeks, you’ll see Larry Brown, a Van Gundy, and some other guys’ names spinning around, waiting to get scooped up by a team. What you’ll see often however, [...]

Villa Seven Consortium

By Ryan McNeill
