PCTI Basketball Training: TyPo

Here is what TP sent for his hoops play:

I have not played a pick up game since my injury last april. My hope is to be back playing mid - may and by game time I should be running games again regularly. Luckily the gym I joined in knoxville runs games 4 days a week, so I definitely have access to as many games as I can handle when Im ready to get back at it. Prior to that I was basically a pick up junkie. I would play any where with anyone at any skill level. I had an in on and "invite only" pick up game in Chattanooga on monday nights that was stiff competition (this is where I got injured). It was mostly people age 22-30. 3/4 played college ball and a few had experience overseas in semi-pro ball. This was by far the best pick up basketball I have been a part of. I also had weekend games in knoxville, my father in law is on the school board in Maryville, so on saturday mornings he would open the gym, and Ben and I would do our best to get some decent players in there. Sometimes it was good sometimes not so much. MOST of the time but not always, Ben and I were the 2 best players in the gym.. probably unconsciously by design... Playing pick up basketball is probably my favorite thing to do and i will play with literally anyone that can get a game together. The good thing is that I feel like I'm good enough to play with really anyone and not be team cancer, but I'm also bad enough to play with anyone if you know what I mean. Only thing I can really say negative about pick up is pointless arguing (court B at the T-rec... ew). 

Editor's Note: This obviously really sucks for TP, but from updates from the BW I get, he seems to be progressing nicely. I fully expect an in depth post from someone in mid to late June with a progress report.
