cruial ass fucking post

Wow. Agreed. Best Post ever.

It aint all about the roster tho. It’s definately how you manage your roster. You can’t have your players in the game too long cause it’s a long season and you want everyone to be able to get in the game and shine because you have to pick a leader. O yea, don’t get yoru roster so that it’s so deep (through your constant recruiting)that you got people on the bench to long. When someone sits on the bench for a grip and gets all those ass splinters, some GM will definately come and try to pry that option away from you. You may not have realized the potential because it was on the bench for so long, but when you see that star shining on the other team…OH BOY!!! Don’t shoot for the coach, be the GM…fuck it the owner. It’s always a team out here trying to get better and cash in on some of your pieces to the puzzle. BUT once you get that point guard who can run your offense, stick with it son. quality point guards come every once in a while. the pg is the distributer and controls the offense ultimately runs through them. I got more, but I’ll holla.

Deep like ll and omar epps. I’ma go examine my roster n make sure i’m within guidelines….lol….Modi u my new relationship counselor..lmao!

best post ever. i’m on your nuts modi. thanks mayne.

actually this could be the best post i’ve ever read on a blog haha its so true. so any chicas who would like to taste a tamale or two please let me know i have enough to go around! vatos locos forever

This whole post is TOO real! Im sittin in the house goin over my roster and looking for loose talent and wondering who needs to go through training camp. When fall comes hopefully I’ll be able to pick up a few rookie phenoms… I think the best thing to take away from all of this is that u gotta have a game plan. I know i’ve made some mistakes by alerting some of my starters to each other… I almost lost my big 3 but i pulled it together last minute. But I’m def. goin over my plays and shit. I’m bout to start goin all or nothin like the patriots… “if u ain’t cheatin, u ain’t tryin…”

This is the thing. I don’t think “the roster” is the best sports analogy we can come up with to describe this. I think of it more like boxing. You have your champion, aka the main joint. Then you have people battling, aka the contenders. It’s not really a roster, cause the contenders change everyday. You could meet some little “ummm bop” on the train or a nice fly joint in Jamba Juice that could rock your world. I guess you could say u picked up a free agent, but then u would have to release someone off the roster to get her in. And what about the Salary Cap?!?!?

The boxing rankings are almost infinite, anyone at any time can make a run for the money.

Plain and simple the roster idea is key to success…while my man did go real extra hard on the analogy…its meaning holds true…lol but like hov said “if there’s beef between the post and the point that puts the ring in jeopardy…” so keep your sh*t tight…

I get bitches by the way.

a lot.

DONT EVER STOP RECRUITING! lol

[...] happy july 4th. i got hate texts for that roster post. [...]

Why you gotta go dissing PF Chang’s and shit!? I will give you props on the Skip Prosser picture, R.I.P. to that man. It’s a good post but the basketball metaphor gets pushed to the point where I can’t do anything but laugh aloud.
So the only post you put your heart and soul into was about how to keep a stable of bitches? Fair enough…

The only way to be on a roster is to be point guard, sometimes referred to as number 1. Any other position is unacceptable. The ball is in your hands because you have great handling skills.That way you control the pace of game, call the plays and decide when and who to pass it to. Everyone else is just on the court to support you they don’t really matter and the bench is just there to give you a break when you need it.

so then find me a PG then.

You find me one and I’ll see what I can do.
I just want to know if the world is ready for women to have “rosters”.

amen

yall do have rosters. don’t even try and play games. i’ve been a back up point guard on so many teams, and i normally can ball better than the starter.

I didn’t say they didn’t do it. I asked if the world was ready. people are quick to give women who DATE (I can’t get down with the roster) titles that they don’t give men.

i agree with Kayla. the double standards are tired. my girls and i talk about this allll the time. but the inconsistency is a whole other topic, whole other post.

this post though, was hilarious as well as insightful. some of my guy friends need this link ASAP!

Duude, I like to consider myself the king of Analogies, seems like i need to cede my title, at least until I can re up with some sicker proposotions. Anyway, women have rosters just like men, this analogy is stretched a bit but works well, its always better to have a deep team over a shallow one, and finally LMAO @ Ben Woodruff Hunt’s final statement. DAMN!

best post. But do you even have a roster right now, modele!? yeah, I’m calling you out. I’m looking like a basketball team…what about you!?

got to hand it to you Modi, you kept it 100. This joint is like a crucial playa’s handbook.

weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

of course women have rosters..until someone comes and buys the team out

i love this..u got eerrrrrrrybodddy up here re-evaluating!

after reading this i just realized i’m not even in the league.

wtf……. love the post my man…. but sory to say im starting a new squadron lol

building a roster? hmmm… very interesting.

[...] the roster. [...]

Man… I miss havin’ a roster… Now all I have is a head coach… lol!

LOL! This is classic.

Clutch post for back to school. Couldn’t have said it any better myself.

LMFAO!
Spygate Modi! Nooo!!!
Did fuckin’ HITCH ghost-write this shit or smthn? This is waaay too indepth to be on the world wide web! Facebook tags! Tat’s the reason my account is deactivated! lol!
“damn. i was doing great work with that squad.” — My life goal.
“want to wow your friends with your ability to bring yet another dime to one of those house parties on 16th street?” Dog you need your own “roster” infomercial. And i was calling it a lineup first. Starting 5 to be exact even though it is rarely any exact number… Good shit broham.

lol this is on point
i need to make some notes of this lol.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it’s back…
and it’s still so true
oh so true
lol

This post is so ill because it has a lot of truth in it. Not sure why there are [few] heads in the comment section writing this off.

To be honest, I was just content living the life with no worries about a “roster” but after this post, I might dab into it.

…If only I can stop being mean.

Awesome drop.

my girl sarah says: sounds like a harem
and then she conceded to “platonic” harem

a classic post, if ever there were one.

You hit it out the park with this one as well Modi.

You always have to be on the lookout for prospects and you always have to know how to manage your roster, otherwise things will go to shit.

classic post.

These are great words you have written on this here internet. It is also important to hold regular coaches meetings with brothers you know and respect. I, myself, believe that the #1 rule of running a successful team is DO NOT BECOME A DREAM PEDDLER. Also, watch who you sign. You might end up with a Ron Artest on your squad. Great all-around game but a damn basket case. Run scrimmages, Sign a 10 day contract if you have doubts. But, alas, I digress. This was a great post. It took me back to my early undergrad days as a young coach in the league. BTW, We definitely pioneered the “coach” analogy way back. We even had coaches meetings and drafts. But, it’s your world, fam. Stay up.

Cee

Great post!

However the term originated in New York (like everything else great). Anywho, New Years (Holiday season period) is a great time to recruit for the Spring/Summer. Everyone is merry! So get off you chair and go make some recruitment visits.

Real Talk!!! I feel like These Girls Be On The Same Shit As Us Guys…LMFAO Its No Secret. “Keep it Player Mane”(Pharrell)

Im recruiting for my spring Roster…Soon As Pro Cred Drops!!!

haha! right
1) real recognize real
2) as a good friend once told me…..everyone has someone (don’t let them fool u)
3) management is key!

this like my 10th time reading this post and i learn something new every time. it’s just too trill. can’t believe you were able to put it in words. coach modi ftw!

great re-up my friend.

questions/food for thought:

1. When is it time to make cuts and trim down the roster?
2. Better to build your team around your solid center or your floor general point guard?
3. Better to have a roster full of savvy veterans or promising rookies?

The roster is crucial to keep your game fresh for when that MVP comes along you know what to do, how to act- your not rusty at all. But there’s a fine line between staying on your toes with occasional to as needed to routine practice sessions. What I’m trying to say is don’t get sloppy and careless just because you aren’t wifed up. Act how you would if your number one pick was watching and remember everyone you come in contact with is connected to you and may surface during a prime opportunity of a new and possible keeper. One bad pick could give the wrong representation of your style of recruiting. A bad decision now could turn out to get in the way of something solid later, so play with you heart and leave it all on the court.

Leone-

well said

LOL! …”Work on the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ communication method, and things should be smooth sailing.”

the roster is crucial. kudos to you modi.. and yes. leone. you’re brilliant.

Hahaha Great! In 2010 I thought I wanted a bf but now I want an Official Roster, lets see if I can make this work. hehe

So much game playing going on these days I tell you. lol I thought this bit was interesting though:

“After all, rosters aren’t permanent or set in stone, and in many situations, they are more of a safety net for those too insecure or unsure of a future with a given guy or girl. So really, the chances of you being on some type of roster are relatively high.”

IMO if you are looking for the certified quality wifey/hubby material and there is a possibility they may be on your team, and you are still thinking like that and entertaining them good luck with trusting your future #1 MVP player one day.
In my opinion, I say cut them until you are ready to deal with all that comes with signing a loyal player. Pursue the relationship from a legit angle. Don’t make the one top player that meshes well with your coaching style just an option because they will always know it and have there agent ready with some numbers on standby once they get wind of it. That’s if they are about something anyway and they will ask to get traded to another team and will be gone like a thief in the night due to “an unstable relationship between coach and player.” At least that’s just me. I won’t fight for a top spot when I know I never miss shots and other teams are in a silent bidding war offering me more endorsement deals if I sign with them. That can be used for both men and women.
Enjoy the perks now of having the starting 5 line-up but just know there is a potentially downside.

I don’t care what anybody says it is hard to get out that way of thinking once you retire that you may be on somebody elses roster especially if you are feeling the individual cause you just never know but then again game recognize game…sometimes.

abcd speaks the truth too…coaches and GM’s should always check themselves for happiness and remind themselves of the bigger picture!

ha. i have no advice for anybody. i just wrote the joint and wanted to see how people took it. i’d say just follow your heart, and try not to hurt anybody in the process. cuz then you’re being real with yourself and other people involved.

Good shit

End of the day it falls on the coach to be honest as well. If you communicate your game plan and how you’re gonna go about it, your roster has your agenda down pat. They cant bear ill feelings because they know what time it is.

And you should subject potentials to draft workouts by screening them.

And yes women have rosters. They’re usually male friends. Lets not act like we dont know what’s going on people.
