Jim, Those were the most amazing videos - especially the " 'fishy' behaviors" sites. My super-sports-oriented husband was especially impressed by the ball-handling abilities of the fish.

Have you tried the "Rat Olympics" ( it isn't called that because the U of Nebraska was warned by the Olymipic Committee they were violating copyright laws.) but, there some videos showing the student competition on the web. It's not basketball, but........
