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.

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.

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.

Stupid, but that was really fun when you were 16 and found a low rim someplace and got to dunk on your friends.

One of the elementary schools here had a full court 8.5 foot rims and we played after open gym runs in HS. Many broken fingers trying to block dunks.

Agree 100%
Some argue, "Well just don't enter your squad."
Sure, but you know damn well FOMO will kick in.
