Kelvin, come back!

[MsProudSooner]

It is one basketball court. You can't have anybody else working on their game if the other players are using the court. Every high school in Oklahoma has that much room to practice. If they are running a three on three full court drill their 9 other players standing on the side watching.

If I remember correctly, you can have one court running north to south or 2 courts running east to west. The east-west courts might not be full regulation size. There are very few high schools that have that much room to practice - especially since the men's and women's high school teams share the practice facilities.

There are two full size courts -- the men's side and women's side. But they share during times that are not officially scheduled practice times. Plus the actual Lloyd Noble court is set up the majority of the year...

There are some legends posting in this thread, I’m officially on the record for 100% supporting the OP

Me too. I haven't posted in almost 2 years but I'm fully on board with bringing Kelvin back to Norman. Tell him to bring Kellen with him and hand him the job when Kelvin retires. Let's do it!!!

 

[Eielson]

They already named Kellen HC in waiting.

I know, but that doesn't mean they want him to take over now. I'd be shocked if that were the case.

You remember correctly. They use the full size one which eliminates using the short courts. I know my high school had two full courts that were separated by a skinny court. Also could run six small courts which was 1980.
I can tell you LK didn’t think they were good and when they went to other places they all had more practice area.
As for the poster who said the LNCis setup that is correct. It’s hard for the coach to be coaching in two facilities at once.

It's a nice looking facility. It's not very large, though. Most decent high schools in metro areas have a couple of gyms that essentially work the same way these work, with similar space. We put lipstick on a pig with these upgrades, unfortunately.

we get Ghost of Bud and CoolM to post on here, we might have almost the whole original gang

GoB won’t be back until Kelvin returns in a denim shirt.

Coolm was here until a month ago. Haven’t seen GOB in years. Ireallyloveou is another member of the original gang. SoonerTraveler and SoonerNorm were, too. They left when a handful of trouble makers made life miserable for them. Traveler still posts on the Insider board. I reached out to them by PM but didn’t get a response. I will be thrilled if they come back!

It’s good to see more of you lately, Romulus!

 

[Sooner04]

I hope CoolM is OK. Sometimes I wonder if all the dogs are barking upstairs. I don't even know if you can classify some of those as tangents.

Ghost of Bud. Ha! I'm keeping the light on for bocabull. If Ireallyloveou migrates over here I'm going to start stockpiling weapons.

If Ghost of Bud comes over youre going to have to put your David Godbold black puma back as your profile pic

IIRC, Coolm was in bad health a few years back.

SoonerTraveler and SoonerNorm were, too. They left when a handful of trouble makers made life miserable for them.

Why would anyone make trouble for those 2? I remember Norm used to get into arguments on the womens board with sybarite but that clown argues with anyone who thought Sherri needed to step down. Someone may need to check on syb lol.

this thread has just about run its course ..

Sybarite passed away a few months ago.

Good to see you, Boog!

Sybarite passed away a few months ago.

Oh...wow...I had no idea.

I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope his loved ones are coping with the loss as best they can.

RIP Sybarite.

Yep it's actually been since last June not a few months ago.

I wasn't on here at the beginning but was on the Hale insiders board and did some basketball. It was under John87 at the time.

Glad you're back B.O.B. Last time we hung out, it was at the Big 12 tournament semi when Buddy hit the halfcourt shot....that was a really fun night for about 3 minutes.

Was it even 3 minutes? :ez-roll:

Seems like the euphoria lasted about 30 seconds lol.

It was actually a fun night and good to hang out with other OU fans.
