The Richard Gere of youth basketball.

"Stop taking those shots Tony! Take the ball to the basket! Guys we could win every game if we just took better shots!" Riggs voice was deafening as it echoed through the gym at the rec center. It was the last game of the year and his youth basketball team was playing the only undefeated team left in the league.

Rigg' team, the Trojans, were facing the undefeated league champion Lakers in the season finale. They entered the contest as a seven and a half point underdog. No money was on them to cover. Did Riggs have another ace up his sleeve?

"Timeout ref!" Jayball called the quickest timeout in the history of basketball today. "Listen, back in my day we took good basketball shots. The coach would have benched me in a second if I took such a terrible shot. From now on out everyone take the ball to the rim. The next guy who shoots a three is going to be setting next to me. For Christ sake we are a minute and thirty seconds into the game and already down by nine. Get back on defense!"

His team clawed out of their starting hole and ended up trailing by six at half - "Now listen guys. We got off to a slow start but we are now back in it. C.J. I want you to isolate your man on the wing. You look to get to the rim or take that twelve foot floater. Tony, you and Jacob look to transition. They may be bigger but they have cement in their shoes."

Youth leagues are a serious business in Las Vegas so when Jayball and his Trojans knotted the game at forty five midway through the third quarter you could feel an upset brewing. "Way to go guys! See what happens when we play smart basketball." The intensity level from the start of the game til the end of the third quarter had ratcheted up a few knots. The Trojans were holding a narrow lead. "Listen guys, we got these guys on the rope! Keep doing what we're doing and we will win this game!" His team heeded the advice and won by double digits.

As the team gathered around the celebratory pizza party he decided to throw -they decided to make a pact - "Coach Riggs, we want you to be our summer league coach as well." He smiles wide and smirks, "I would be honored to. Besides the rec commission already gave me the job. They say I am the only person who can put up with you clowns."
