Walsh, Young Named Co-Captains
At the team's Friday night (November 19) practice, sixth-graders Casey Walsh and Devin Young were named co-captains for the 2010-2011 Binghamton-6 Travel Basketball season. Coach Jensen made the announcement at the conclusion of practice.
"Casey and Devin have played for me before and they know what to expect, and how to go about things," said Coach Jensen. "Devin learned a lot last year as the only 5th-grader drafted for our strong 6th-grade team. And Casey's played for a number of basketball teams I've coached over the past 5 or 6 years.
"Each of them, through their play and through their demeanor, have exhibited great leadership abilities. Every coach can use a couple extra coaches on the floor, and Casey and Devin fit that role perfectly."

Is Knicks Rookie Landry Fields the Best Player Since Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan?
If you look at a metric developed by Southern Utah University economics professor Dave Berri that shows how a player's statistics correlate to winning, he certainly is.Published in today's Wall Street Journal, the article discusses why a player like Fields, the NBA's 39th draft pick for the 2010-2011 season, is so valuable to his team.
Through Wednesday's games, Fields was on pace this season to have 16.6 "Wins Produced," according to the metric.
"That's easily the best rate among any rookie this year and only behind a handful of drafted rookies—such as Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan—dating back to 1977," says the Wall Street Journal article. "All the other first-year players drafted 39th overall combined to produce about four wins in their first season. Mr. Fields has already produced half that in his first 12 games."
It isn't just the glossy statistics that make a player valuable to his or her team, but instead, some less glamorous facts about a player's game, such as field-goal percentage, offensive-rebound rate and number of turnovers, all of which Fields excels at.
"He's averaging a middle-of-the-road 10.8 points per game, for instance," says the article, "but he's made 58.4 percent of his shots, 10th in the league among starters."
The article isn't long, but it makes great points to which young players should pay close attention.

Did You Know Coach Charles?
Charles Turner was a lot of things to a lot of people, but one thing that seemed to bring those things - and those people - together was athletics.
Coach Charles was born in Delhi, Louisiana, and was raised by his grandparents on their family’s farm. He attended Wood Junior College in Matheson, Mississippi and Mississippi State University. Of course, he played basketball at each stop.
His "salt of the earth" presence was rooted in Southern basics, and that translated to his life after college. Coach Charles always worked in professions that involved helping people. He worked in a group home for developmentally disabled adults in Delhi, and coached Special Olympics. After moving to Las Vegas where he lived for more than 20 years, Charles worked for the State of Nevada in the Department of Mental Health. Charles had a strong sense of fairness and treated everyone equally.
Charles’ sense of justice led him to be President of SEIU Local 1864 in Las Vegas and to later work for SEIU and AFSCME as an organizer. He worked for several years at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas as a skycap, which suited his friendly nature.
In 2004, Charles moved his family to Binghamton, Liza’s hometown, and here is where he found his true home and his calling. He worked as a teaching assistant in the Solution Station at Johnson City Intermediate School, and all the students at JC were "his kids." He always had a hug, a smile and a high-5 for everyone he met. Charles’ smile lit up a room and his laugh could be heard for a country mile.
Coach Charles was involved with Binghamton Travel basketball and YMCA basketball teams, and helped Little League, as well. He was enthusiastic and passed on his love of both sports through his encouragement, stories and example.
The last few years, the annual tune-up tournament has been held as a precursor for the competitive Slim Sylvester AAU/Rage season. This year it has been renamed to honor Coach Charles. The idea came from the YMCA’s youth director, Dan Smith, and was immediately adopted.
