affected ball extended fired flow handle kids middle movement panicked passes people zone
They extended their zone (defense) enough that it affected our perimeter people enough because of their experience. And they didn't really know how to handle it. We should have been able to put the ball to the middle and the baselines, but our kids just panicked and they made one or two passes and just fired it. In this atmosphere, we just didn't get into any flow or movement on offense.

ended foul happen playing
It can happen quick. That was a play where we thought there should have been a foul on our end, but it ended up (later) being a foul on us. It's not that we're playing that bad, but it's the little things that are making a big difference.
competition level people played playing teams tells
The level we're playing at is what has people excited. On our schedule, we will have played 15 teams with more than 13 wins. That tells you what kind of competition we're playing.
against difference easy free gets good matter miss point teams three throw
We're just young enough where, against good teams like this, if we miss a free throw and they make a free throw, or if we miss an easy one and they make one on their side, it gets in the kids' heads. Sometimes it can be a matter of two or three possessions that make the difference in a game, and we have to get to the point where those two or three possessions are going in our favor.
