Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, May 27, 2006

In the pay-only section of Full Court, Clay dissects the junior national (USA under-20) team now being assembled for international play.

Past junior teams have steamrolled the competition, since we have (1) a big country and (2) the college game. This time, few of the players at the tryouts have international experience: can Jolene Anderson, Essence Carson, and the Paris twins anchor coach McCallie's team? (Of course they can.)

USC's Camille LeNoir: "There's not that many point guards this year, so I feel like I have a greater chance of making the team. I'm having fun with all the girls that I know from the Pac-10." (Also from the Pac-10: assistant Joanne Boyle, head coach at Cal-Berkeley.)
