I'D LIKE THIS BACK IF IT APPLIES

A little girl went
to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet.


She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three
times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes.


Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she
slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with
the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for
the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment.
Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat
with the most disgusting soun d she could muster. No good Finally she took a
quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!


'And what do you want?' the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of
voice. I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages,' he
said without waiting for a reply to his question.

'Well, I want to talk
to you about my brother,' Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. 'He's
really, really sick...and I want to buy a miracle.'

'I beg your pardon?'
said the pharmacist.

'His name is Andrew and he has something bad
growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now So how
much does a miracle cost?'

'We don't sell miracles here, little girl.
I'm sorry but I can't help you,' the pharmacist said, softening a little.


'Listen, I ha v e the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get
the rest. Just tell me ho w much it costs..'

The pharmacist's brother was
a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, 'What kind of a
miracle does your brother need?'

' I don't know,' Tess replied with her
eyes welling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an
operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.'


'How much do you have?' asked the man from Chicago

'One dollar
and eleven cents,' Tess answered barely audibly.

'And it's all the money
I have, but I can get some more if I need to.'

'Well, what a
coincidence,' smiled the man. 'A dollar and eleven cents---the exact price of a
miracle for little brothers. '

He took her money in one hand and with
t he other hand he grasped her mitten and said 'Take me to where you live. I want
to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you
need.'

That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon,
specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it
wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mom and Dad were
happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.


'That surgery,' her Mom whispered. 'was a real miracle. I wonder how
much it would have cost?'

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a
miracle cost..one dollar and eleven cents....plus the faith of a little child..


In our lives, we never know how many miracles we will need.

A
miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operati on of a higher law.
I know you'll keep the ball moving!

Here it goes. Throw it back to
someone who means something to you!

A ball is a circle, no beginning, no
end. It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends. But the treasure inside
for you to see is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.

Today
I pass the friendship ball to you.

Pass it on to someone who is a friend
to you.

MY OATH TO YOU...

When you are sad....I will dry your
tears.

When you are scared.....I will comfort your fears.

When
you are worried.....I will give you hope.

When you are confused.....I
will help you cope.

And when you are lost....And can't see the light, I
shall be your beacon....Shining ever so bright.

This is my oath......I
pledge till the end.

W hy you may ask?....Because you're my friend.


Signed: GOD

I know Gillispie is a big advocate of it but if you're only going with a 9-man rotation why do you need 20+ guys?

I know it gives you more options but it's bound to make kids unhappy with lack of playing time.

Our teams have been really thin of late but 20+ guys seems like a lot to me.

Posts: 5,030 Easy..practice. Lots and lots of competent bodies for intense, grueling practices. More competition, more fresh legs, and more realistic simulations of opponents.

Practice, practice, practice. All we're talking about here is practice, to the dismay of Mr. Iverson.

Posts: 15,518 Two things, I think.

1. Big practices. Gillispie likes maelstrom practices where there are guys all over the court, around the court, guys clapping and cheering and diving on the floor and getting raspberries on their palms and knees. The assistant coaches dress and participate; the graduate assistants; some of the support staff. It's like a dogfight. If you've only got 10 or 12 on the roster, that ain't a dogfight. Not enough chaos.

2. Competition for PT. If you've got one guy behind you, that's one thing. You beat that guy and get complacent; you think, "I've got it made now." If you've got three other guys behind that one, pushing you in practice, making you fight, there's never any rest. The job is never secure, and I think that's exactly the way Gillispie wants it.

Posts: 2,473 Yeah...it makes sense.

I'm sure you could have some pretty intense practices with 20 bodies available. I'm sure it makes for a pretty competitive atmosphere.

After all, it's the way Gillispie goes about practice that will translate to wins on the court.

Posts: 1,755 John wooden was an advocate of a long bench of players. Injuries are somewhat covered.
He, reportedly, used Pell Grant extensively.

Whatever Coach G wants is good enough for this Wildcat fan.

Posts: 34 After this year, BCG will have been here longer than anyplace as a head coach. I would imagine that had a lot to do with his bench and his rotation. Basketballwise, they were a lot smaller universities as well. I would say this translates to the promise he made when he first got here. (Loosely) He said," I want the other team to go in at halftime and beg their coach to not come back out for the second half." To me that says that he is planning on running the other team into the ground. Not running to just be running, but wearing the other team completely down.
