I used to coach with a dude that moved back to France to coach and he said there are mandatory classes and content based assessments that have to be taken by anyone looking to be a certified coach.

So I think things can be done to ensure the right folks are in front of these children.

It's a different system overseas.

Promising kids enter legit sports academies separate from the regular education system, where their time is split between learning the game and regular education. They have competitions at the neighborhood level, where the academy kids get noticed and recruited. The entire structure is overseen by the government (ministry of sports), and that's the agency that also establishes coaching credentials, which are usually in line with the national/continental/international basketball regulatory bodies.

The French Evolution: How France’s evolving basketball culture is shaping the NBA — The Strickland: A New York Knicks Site Guaranteed To Make 'Em Jump

Nearly 150 years after the creation of the Statue of Liberty, Paris is still sending its tallest defenders to the United States

“It is country-wide that the professional club youth academies or federal youth development centers develop and train such players.” As the fulcrum of France’s population, Paris naturally houses many basketball institutions and eventual professional players. But it is not merely quantity that has allowed Paris to dominate the French basketball scene, as the city’s most notable training ground, INSEP (or France’s national sports school), has developed 16 NBA players alone.

We don't have that kind of structure here at the amateur level, and without it or an equivalent system, you can't easily oversee and certify coaches.

Is that Palumbo, anybody know? Swore it was back at the time, but I don't see any references to it, and doing searches just shows the various parks around town he's showed up at to play various sports.

If he were allowed to carry the ball.

He’d be wasting his money buying a ticket. Cuz ole girl could shoot 10 for 50 in real life. But on Twitter she’d be shooting 10/10 100%.

Played back last decade with an older dude who would shoot 3s like that and make half of em. People who didn't know what to expect would let him get the shot off and I'm like nah, go out there, he will make that

Last I saw him at a court a few years ago right after the pandemic relented, he was missing a bunch of teeth and looked like he was in the clutches of addiction. Hate to see it.
