[SIZE=5]coleman played his best game today, with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block...but more importantly, playing more under control, or in his words, 'not always going 100 miles an hour and not just going up wild and crazy"[/SIZE]

left to right, cole "surfer dude" welle, koko "sweet azz shooting stroke" kurdoghlian, nick "the smartest bear of them all" hamilton, roman "all the way up" davis & dontae "chief noc a homa" coleman

perfect sunny saturday afternoon at haas pavilion attended by true california golden bears fans with palpable love throughout the building...a special shout out to coach martin for remembering the slow & the forgotten, the walk ons nick, koko & cole...we are all rescue walk ons

much love to grant mullins who is back in burlington canada showing respect to his grandmother who has passed on, we are all living on borrowed time here on planet earth & it's imperative that we tell those that we truly love what's in our hearts & live each day with relentless passion pursuing our dreams...travel arrangements will be made for grant to fly from canada's east coast to hawaii if that's what he's ready to do

the most exciting play of the game was charlie's fueled up entry lob pass dime to young ivee that ignited the bears faithful, that magical play is worth more than 2 points as it gets all of ivan's teammates, coaches & staff on their feet along with the fan base screaming from the rooftops...let's continue to look for those opportunities, it's a gameday momentum shifting play

awesome to see cole battling for 6 points on a perfect 3 for 3 field goals plus 3 boards & shooting the aptos pipeline in his 5 minutes & roman scoring his 1st points (3 in total) as a california golden bear, he's got nba athleticism & once his practice shooting work ethic catches up with his elite god given talents davis is gonna be a pretty special player

brandon chauca told me his last cast has been replaced this week with a smaller cast, if he's not ready to roll in the near future, he might blueshirt this season...he's thrilled his parents are gonna be in the islands, he hasn't seen them since july...chauca trivia fact: he used to play the violin back in the day

the team leaves tomorrow at 4:00 pm for honolulu, everybody all aboard the love train

aloha baby

Did anyone think that Charlie was guilty of charging on that play?

Yeah, I thought the same thing at the game. He might have gotten away with one there

taylor & her girlfriend katie were walking with me out of haas pavilion back to our rental car next to the alcorn state team bus parked by the baseball entrance after the game when i skipped up the steps of the bus & had the following brief conversation with true freshman 6'7" 195 lbs tyler carter who got 4 fouls in 4 minutes trying to defend okoroh who finished with 9 boards, 7 points on an efficient 3 of 6 field goals (kingsley, quit trying to use the backboard from 2 feet, slam the ******* basketball next time, ok?), 2 redunkulous blocks & another tallest point guard in the uk assist:

shocky: hey #3, great effort in your competing with our big, he got 6 inches & 70 pounds on you

tyler carter: dude, you got insane energy, you are the greatest fan of all time

shocky: well, thank you, just wanted to know i respect your battling with the king

tyler carter: to be honest with you, i'm just glad i didn't have to try to guard you

yeah, me & my boy charlie "global kitchen" moore are ******* giants

what's in your motor?#:gobears:

I wondered that too at first but the scoreboard replays showed the defender slid laterally under him after he went up. It was a good no-call.

I completely agree 99. If they'd made that call, it would have been a travesty. Good to see the bench (such as it is these days) empty with 5 minutes to go. Condolences out to Grant and his family. Losing a loved one when you aren't there can hurt more IMO. Great time at Haas this pm.

Glad to see you post this HoopDreams...I really liked him getting the minutes necessary to allow for a few mistakes without getting pulled immediately....Coleman can help this team on the offensive end and lord knows we can use all the offensive help we can get...More minutes before conference will pay off in the end IMO....he still had his moments when you say "slow the **** down" but he looked a lot more comfortable this afternoon...

a couple of minutes into the game there's an inbounds play for the bears & i tell young ivee "demand the ball, impose your will, #30 can't guard you, let's do this ivan"

#30 6'7" 265 lbs senior marquis vance looks right at me & says "bull****"...i can tell mrs spieker isn't impressed with mr vance's choice of words

so ivan takes gets the ball off the high low, vance physically puts a body on rabb who probes the middle but there's nothing there so cal's 2017 nba lottery pick spins towards the baseline & cleanly knocks down a 12 footer...2 points for the bears

young ivee scored a career high 26 points on a ridiculous 10-12 fields & a smooth 6-7 free throws along with 7 boards, 2 assists & only 1 turnover

ivan, marquis vance should shut the **** up, what's his resume, he's a male stripper

Shocky, we are so grateful for your tutelage of Ivan. I am sure I also speak for Cuonzo, in recognizing how lost Rabb would be without you.

what up cole?

good news: you scored 6 points this afternoon, looks like coach o'toole's beating the **** out of you with his foam paddleboard is helping you finish thru contact & your flying with your teammates/boyz of summer tomorrow at 4:00 pm to the islands, maybe you'll show them how surf at waimea beach, summer is never out of reach

and mike williams has agreed to a limited collector's edition release of 10,000 cole welle personally inscribed bobbleheads to be given away at the recently scheduled game for february 29th at uc santa cruz vs them banana slugs




bad news: some **** from high school is never gonna go away but no worries if you give me 50 bucks in a simple white manilla sealed envelope addressed to "shocky" left this goes away forever, just leave it by the 7th tee box at seascape golf club tonite at midnite

ucla bruins (9-0) still don't play much d but upset (good for the pac 12 rpi) coach cal's monster class #1 ranked kentucky wildcats 97-92 in lexington...cal only plays ucla once (unless they meet during the pac 12 tournament) this season on january 5th in westwood

stanford cardinals (6-3) one man stud team reid travis scored 29 points including 19 of 22 free throws along with 9 boards got rock chalked 89-74 by the kansas jayhawks...it's not known if jerod haase displayed his man boobs to his former fans in lawrence or not, maybe he'll get some gift cards for victoria secret or something from his secret santa

#6 ranked virginia cavaliers (7-1) revealed a weakness in the paint by their bigs for a 2nd game in a row in getting boot camped 66-57 by the west virginia mountaineers on their home court in charlottesville...bears gotta gameplan to attack the paint with young ivee & the king against the cavs

arizona wildcats (6-2) shot a crooked azz 12.5% (1 of 8) on 3 pointers & also missed 9 free throws in losing 69-62 to the tampering gonzaga bulldogs...maybe more of the wildcats should take allonzo trier's asthma medication, it's not like chance comanche's gpa could get any worse...yeah the donut boy of tuscon can't be too happy about his squad's selfish only 7 assists

the corrupt oregon ducks basketball organization (7-2) looted 128-59 the savannah state tigers

jordan mclaughlin scored 24 points with 6 boards & 4 assists as the usc trojans (8-0) stayed unbeaten in kicking to the curb 91-84 the byu cougars

washington state cougars (4-4) got out rebounded +14 in getting courtmartialed 70-54 by the new orleans privateers

oregon state beavers turned the balls over 18 times in getting licked (again) 69-66 by the charlotte 49ers

shannon evans scored a season high 28 points as the asu sun devils (5-3) pole danced 97-73 the unlv rebels

colorado buffaloes (6-2) went on the road to dominate the boards again +10 in emergency landing 76-63 the portland pilots at voodoo donuts arena

south dakota state jackrabbits (4-6) lettuced 77-68 the umkc kangaroos

wyoming cowboys (5-2) broke back mountained 81-73 the unsuspecting northern iowa panthers...cal's win vs wyoming could be a ncca resume building win at the end of this season

the wildly inconsistent san diego aztecs (4-2) shot only 3 free throws (made 2 of them) in getting truck stopped 65-59 by the chicago ramblers in freezing azz chi town...not a good outcome for the bears

louisiana tech bulldogs (4-3) took the southeastern louisiana lions (5-4) to the no kill shelter 88-59, don't be surprised if tech don't compete for conference usa title

uc davis aggies (5-4) got agricultured 68-66 at the buzzer by a layup by them sneaky idaho vandals...ron gould dnp

cal poly mustangs (5-4) shot a lights out 50% (14 of 28) 3 pointers in kicking off the barge in morro bay 82-70 the texas a&m/corpus christi islanders...bears gotta scheme to close out the mustangs 3 pointers which is about everybody on their roster

Oh Shocky, how could you.

Disillusionment, doubt, uncertainty clouds my mind, why Great Golden Grammar Bear WHY?!

Send forth your NSFW brunettes to cleanse this travesty of internet.

the princeton motion originally schemed by the legendary pete carril is a unique college offense to defend/scheme against, the more you play against it the better chance of understanding its concepts/principles


hopefully grant mullins will be emotionally ready to fly from canada to rejoin his teammates at the hilton hawaiian village waikiki beach resort, he got a lot of gameday experience again princeton during his 3 years at princeton including the following 2 solid performances last season:

*****february 14th: 19 points on 6 of 13 field goals with 12 boards (trust me, j mat never fought for 12 boards at any point during his cal career), 2 assists & zero turnovers
*****february 26th: 14 points with 4 assists, 2 boards & 2 turnovers

what's really amazing is that grant did all that with only 1 leg, can you believe that ****?



cal's monster class (2013) & cal's doses & mimosas class (2014) that i recruited also got experience against the princeton weave during our december 13, 2014 late comeback 67-57 rally victory vs the lions in berkeley:

"that's one of those styles that's hard to duplicate in practice, the speed of it, the back cuts...they had us on our heels...we did a better job in the second half setting down, getting those guys off the line and containing the dribble"
-coach martin

"once i better understood the princeton schemes, i was better able to direct the cal defense during the second half on my side of the court at haas pavillion, not to take anything away from coach martin but he did a poor job (compared to me) of yelling out the lions schemes during the 1st half on his side of the court but that's ok i'm not passing judgment on him or anything"
-shocky

"in the first half the zone caught me off guard...even tho we shot the ball well, we were not crisp attacking the zone...in the second half we just needed to be more aggressive and turn it up"

princeton tigers (2-3) held the lead for much of their road game in richmond due to a scorching 47.1% (8 of 17) on 3 pointers but the 19 turnovers & only 26 rebounds caught up to them in getting head butted 81-70 by the vcu rams...the bears gotta gameplan to play disciplined d to prevent the backdoor cuts, close out on the tigers 3 point shooters & own the boards vs the smaller princeton squad in hawaii...in a perfect world (and trust me cal basketball is not linear) none of the bears starters would play more than 25 minutes & would get fresh legs for them seton hall pirates the next day

cal plays princeton in the opening game of the pearl harbor classic on tuesday december 6th at 2:15 pm local time...that's perfect, i'll be the 1st guy out in the morning for a brisk walking 18 holes at waialae country club (the diamond head classic unfortunately doesn't have much seth raynor architectural features anymore due to the pga tour's constant tinkering but the views & aesthetics are stunning), get to the bears game early for warm ups/review with coach martin the gameplan & then after the game dine on bigeye tuna sashimi salad with matsuhusia dressing & teriyaki waygu beef with caviar at nobu waikiki...no way i'm gonna go to a boring azz loo al unless cole, brandon & nicky ham promise to volunteer for the fire breathing thing with torches & **** like that

Said assistance means:
They told the recruits, [COLOR="#0000CD"][SIZE=3]"Now, if you sign with us, you must be aware of one particular fan who is going to sit courtside and yell at you during the game, who is going to publicly post photos of you and your girlfriends (or any girl for that matter, typically those scantily dressed, associating you and your dating habits in the minds of readers, whether accurate or not), who is going to dish on happenstance and habits or your daily college life (remember, you're just 18, but a "Public Figure" now). So, if you accept this mission, please sign on the dotted line."[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Gotta properly prepare those Cal Bear recruits (and their families who read this site) for what being a Cal Bear truly means.
Note: Marcus Lee tells me we ain't got nothing on UK and their courtside fans, their nosebleed fans, their endlessly invasive fans.

Trivia Time: Who can tell me the name of the first stud athlete who declined the NBA because he didn't want to be famous and subject to such public discourse?
Hint: he didn't become a national rugby star, though I know they DO live like the rest of us despite getting to still compete on an elite level.

*****cole welle's development is fun to watch, he's earned some more playing time down the road...a big that can finish under control is an asset to this team along with being a great teammate

*****koko kurdoghlian got a pure steve/nick kerr shooting stroke, he shot 87% on free throws in high school...during his time on the court vs alcorn state the team was running the 53 motion, he opted to attack the basket vs letting it fly from behind the 3 point line, he might make a different decision next time...both of koko's parents are from armenia, he's traveled the middle east & would like to do business there sometime down the road...dude is mentally tough

*****kingsley okoroh gotta not try to use the backboard when he's a foot or two from the basket, the king has gotta flex/bend his needs & fiercely dunk the basketball like a ******* bad azz
