Hey Sky Fans! I’m back! What a great trip!

OK. I tweeted out a picture from one of the arenas I was in the other night @BBbyJeffHouse

If you can tell me:
1. The name of the arena and/or the name of the university
2. At least 3 of the names of the five (5) potential WNBA draft picks playing in the game

And be the first person to email me at jhouse@chicagosky.net with the correct answers, you will win two of my game tickets for a Chicago Sky home game during the 2012 season!

You have to get both parts correct! Arena / university and players. Hurry! Email me first… then read the rest of my BLOG!

Sky Hoops with House

January 26, 2012

Hey Sky Fans! We are working fast and furious on free agency! This time is such a great time! Tracking our players (and other players) overseas, watching video and putting together all sorts of different scenarios for the roster… we are a little busy. It’s an exercise I call “what if.” Constantly asking the “what if” question leads our coaches to many, many different answers and constantly keeps us thinking. That process has slowed my draft prep travel a little, but I am back on the road early next week. I’ll update you all on that trip when I get back. Make sure to email me your college player ideas (jhouse@chicagosky.net) this week.

Sky Hoops with House

What’s happening Sky Fans! It’s been a fantastic week watching NCAA games and working on free agency. Great stuff going on!

I thought I would share some thoughts with you on what every college team is going through right now. The midseason, start of conference play and… LOSING. This is a critical juncture of the college basketball season. The elite teams have finished the “easy” portion of their schedule. Are they ready for the heart of conference play?

Let’s look at HOW TO CHANGE LOSING INTO A POSITIVE and turn around a struggling season into an NCAA tournament run.

We enter our seventh season in the WNBA under the leadership of second-year Head Coach Pokey Chatman and will be led on-court by 2011 Defensive Player of the Year Sylvia Fowles, All-Star Swin Cash and our talented roster.

Today is January 12th That reminds me…. did you wish Piph a Happy Birthday yesterday!?… January 11. Piph turned 24!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIPH!

 

We are wishing Piph the very best of birthday’s this year and want to help lift her spirits, keeping Piph in our thoughts. Piph lost someone very; very close to her with the passing of Exodus AAU and Nazareth (NY) HS coach Apache Paschall. Piph and fellow WNBA player Kia Vaughn have taken it upon themselves to help raise funds for his services. That is leading with the heart and by example. Thank you Piph, be well.

I’ll try to share as many as I can get to as we work through the tournaments.

Many people are using the “HORNS” set this season… there’s nothing better than the pick & roll.  Here’s a “HORNS” variation I like, with a couple of different endings.

Good Luck!
