If anyone else watches this tourney I'd like their thoughts on Coleman's "right hand dominant" play. I've seen him three and his go to moves are almost all left shoulder or right hand drive. Doesn't seem like a particularily difficult set of moves to stop. Seems he gets most of his points out of transition.

More out of curiousity than anything and don't tell me he'll work on it etc. I'm just wondering if it is a trend or an anomaly for the few times I've seen him play.
 

If Minnesota Transitions can play against Burnsville in this tourney...it means they should not be in a small class for the playoffs.
There needs to be 2 or 3 classes in MN high school basketball. There are too many.

MCCRAY stayed with Cooper. They should be 4A.
 

I was able to attend the Best Buy classic they put on this summer, and it was a top notch event. Here are a few more tidbits:

They have a great field with 3 defending Minnesota state champs from last year (Hopkins, St. Paul Johnson and Minnesota Transitions).

They have a handful of the top ranked players in the state such as Gopher commit Joe Coleman and Northern Iowa commit Marvin Singleton of Hopkins and Roosevelt Scott and Estan Tyler from St. Paul Johnson.

Should be a great tourney!

It's games like this that explains why nobody wants to be in a conference with Hopkins Minnetonka Eden prairie and Wayzata. Sibley doesn't have the people to compete and gets beat by 60+, and then people wants to force bloomington Kennedy and Jefferson to play them in football. Have a little class
