Only if you dropped 30+ on them.
I was once given a tech in our staff game for yelling "sit down little boy this is a man's game" in front of 500 people, including the board of ed. I have never, and will never, lose a staff/student game even if it kills me.
Scored 13 (one three and a handful of twos). The dribble drive, pause, mid-range bank shot was my go-to when I was guarded by a good defender. By the end of the game, I was so tired where I settled on playing Huggins Ball: take any shot, follow it and put back the offensive board.
Real close game. Teachers won 35-30, closest game by far. 8th graders have a small group that play, but they have four really good players. Only cohorted teachers with 8th grade were allowed to play, so our team was only five and played four v four. The lower school gym teacher who played PG at Westhill, so we could have used her for sure, not cleared by nurse. The history teacher was a monster in the post (12 points all on put backs and post moves, Mrs. Hey Adrien, the art teacher, scored 7 (including a three!) and the middle school gym teacher hit a prayer 3 with a minute remaining that broke a 30-30 tie.
Our school stops at 8th grade and two of our graduates will play basketball at their new high schools. One girl has the best shot I've seen at our school and I've been there for 11 years. She can easily hit 50% of threes uncovered and her misses are just barely misses. She scored only threes, either 12 or 15 pts. One boy is about 6'1, can drive with either hand and has gotten a lot stronger. Easily the most improved player I've ever coached. Loves basketball. Our best 8th grader recently moved back to England. At 6'2, w/ skills, we would have lost the game if he didn't move.
