You know July is here when...

 after a long Vegas day and a rough night

 Jeff Goodman and Gary Parrish are playfully jabbing one another and a few of the club team coaches. PTW has it on good authority that the antics of JG and GP were not the genesis of "The Hangover."

As for their duel, let's begin with JG:

* Will Gary Parrish break out his Velcro kicks again?
Inquiring minds want to know whether he's finally learned how to tie his sneakers in the past 12 months.

* AAU Coach Watch: Who attracts unwanted attention?
Mitch Malone goes with the double-earpiece look on the sidelines, one guy last year wore a sombrero, Derrick Rose's older brother, Reggie, had to be escorted out of the gym a couple summers ago after getting into it with referees and a writer. You never know what you'll see from some of these guys on the AAU circuit. 
 
From GP:

* Seeing whether the ATM machines in Vegas have upped their daily withdrawal limits
If I had a dollar for every time I had to hand Jeff Goodman $500 because he exceeded his daily withdrawal limit, man, I might have $500. The guy is good at telling you exactly where every transfer is going. But he gambles about as well as Bobby Gonzalez stays composed.

* Bumping into a college coach in a corner booth at the Playboy Club with a 21-year-old model
The major tournaments in Las Vegas bring every staff to Sin City and some of them, well, they're human, and it creates some awkward conversations when you bump into them in awkward situations. Mostly, you just try to look away unless the girl is super hot. Then you just try not to get caught staring.
