Matt Harpring will run his hands-on basketball camps in Utah

If I had a kid that age, I'd surely want Matt to be teaching him. Aggressive offense and defense is the only way to learn this game. Then, nothing will bother you when you play. The whiners are the ones who learn to play the game untouched and with finesse. They can't handle contact. Basketball IS a contact sport--just without pads.

BTW, flailing of arms and hands is the only way refs will notice that you've been fouled when you're such a bigger/stronger physical specimen than the thin guy who's fouling you. Refs don't always see everything, and if you don't look like you've been fouled, they often don't call it. So you negative-minded anti-Harpring types, f'getit! He's not a flopper.

You know, if the other Jazz players (Okur and Boozer particularly) went out and played like Harpring the Jazz make a formidable team. I just appreciate that he is not afraid to get physical with other players on the court.
