    What's wrong with our sport as I see it, and how to correct it.

    When I see some of the crap that DISH avails me of, I am really surprised that a pool channel can't make a go of it. Beyond that I don't see any way to the "big time".

    Cue stolen at pool room - culprit found - what would you do?

    Just ban him, for good. His proclivity for thievery will land him in real trouble soon enough, and you and the pool hall do NOT want to be associated with "street justice".

    You can't help most people get better at pool.

    I agree with Swighey. Many just play for fun, and don't care if they improve. Also, there are some innate traits that contribute to how far a person can progress, just like with any other game or sport. I would like to play college football but I am 155 lbs and slow. People without hand-eye...
