A Teacher's Life: The Story of Teddy (and Lagniappe)

Among other devices, the Greeks used three powerful tools for influence - ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos represents credibility, expertise, or character. Logos uses facts to construct the argument. But pathos, emotion, renders the most powerful persuasion. 

Coach Bob Starkey shares a memorable Christmas story at HoopThoughts. Relationships make all the difference. 

Lagniappe: Just as we need "go to" half court offense and zone offense, we benefit with reliable BOBs and SLOBs. 

SLOB Special (Golden State). We use the cross-screen to inbound and the serial screen to get the layup. I broke my rule about running stuff we haven't practiced. It worked perfectly, up to the point the second pass went off the 5's leg. Credit to the young players who focused during the time out and did their best to execute. 

Close and Late: Touchdown. The PG to the ball is the decoy for the touchdown throw.
