Alright so here’s my deal.
I was a D1 basketball coach until covid crashed my nervous system. I couldn’t get the proper healthcare or medication I needed to begin my recovery (I’m still currently disabled) because of the current limitations of the private healthcare system.

If billionaires paid their fair share of taxes you wouldn't have been forced to bend your knee to a billionaire for helping you out in your time of need.
Perhaps your fondness of basketball overrode your sense of reason?

I didn’t say there were. But THIS specific billionaire happened to get and my community me access to medicine in a way that disrupted the insurance space and drastically improved my quality of life. And I don’t think i owe you an apology for that.
Billionaires are NOT your savoir.

Hope it does in my life-time.
In the meantime, thank you for CostPlus. You’ve kept me and many others in the longcovid community afloat while facing all sort of insurance denials and prior auths.

I believe wholeheartedly that it is achievable. But not by just wishing it will happen.
To get there we need to
1. Make the big insurance companies divest non ins biz.
2. Complete transparency on pricing, and the documentation behind the pricing.

I’m legit using John Oliver’s piece about this from like 10 years ago in a sports and society course I’m teaching in the spring.
Totally insane that this behavior isn’t illegal.

“We can’t afford players because we’re in debt because we took all the money fans gave us and bought property to enrich ourselves.”
But don’t blame us! Blame the teams that re-invests money the team earns back into the organization via free agency and player development. They are the real villains!

Did you know that some MLB owners take out loans against future season ticket sales and then use that money to buy themselves mansions/yachts etc? With the added bonus of being able to whine to fans that the team is actually carrying a lot of debt?
Last dodger owners did this!

My concern with your use of the word “control” is that it implies doctors in the US get to treat patients how they want, which is not the case with the current private insurance model.
The trade offs are you and or your employer pay 650 more per month in taxes there, or the same amount in premiums here.
Everyone pays in the UK and Canada. It’s not free. And no, just raising taxes on billionaires and companies won’t come close to paying for it.
This way you have control

We need to decouple health insurance from employment! And, companies decide what percentage to pay??!! How is this any better than what we have now?

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Regular families can’t even afford to go to games. These are supposed to be civic institutions that belong to the fans. Without the fans these organizations are worth nothing.

It’s hard for me to pick the worst thing you can do as a recruit. But a recruit never exploring outside of their bubble is definitely up there.
Do not make assumptions about what’s available. The country, and therefore the college basketball landscape is much more vast than you think it is.

Every coach wants their team to play their best basketball in late February and March. Last season, St. Francis actually did it.
SFU won 5 of 7 to enter postseason play, then won 3 straight—each by just 3 points—to punch their first NCAA Tournament ticket in 34 years.

They named a brewery after you as a consolation prize though. How many athletes can say that?
Pretty sure the Rockies meant to pick me at #107, but accidentally said Riley Kelly. It happens. Still a lot of drafting to be done.

The first time I ever saw a basketball crowd cheer for an offensive rebound was at a Knicks game as a kid in the mid 90s.
One thing I’ll always respect abt MSG: Fans respect the hell out of an intensified defensive effort, where you hound a guy into a turnover. Mitch did it there, just like he did against Brown last round. It’s always a very cool response from this crowd

“Recruitment isn’t made, it’s stolen.”
There’s only one way under-the-radar recruits get noticed, they steal attention.
The secret, according to men’s basketball scout Jon Soch, is that there is no secret: deliver against the best competition and the best coaches will notice.

Even with all the key makes, Jalen Brunson has two critical ASSISTS for made 3s that give the Knicks the lead late.
His most significant growth is that he remains a point guard in clutch moments.

Coach Kristen Tullo shares believes the best athletes aren’t always the most skilled. They’re the most resilient; and it’s why they bounce back from mistakes rather than spiral downward.
