You can forgive West Bloomfield’s Davis twins — Indya and Summer — if they think they are trapped inside a Progressive insurance commercial.
It’s the one when someone says something, the other person disagrees and throws the red challenge flag and they go to the video.
That is what happens when their mother, Alicia Young, critiques their play and neither of the twins agrees with mom.
“I think they treat me like any other parent when it comes to not knowing much about basketball,” Young said. “So I started filming every game. Every single one of them. That’s how I learned basketball.”
Make no mistake about it, mom does know ball.

“Oh, yes, she knows basketball,” West Bloomfield coach Darrin McCallister said. “She knows as much as anybody.”
That is not necessarily a good thing for the twins.
“There were things that I could see, which were common sense things to me,” their mother said. “They didn’t have an ear to hear anything from me, so I started saying ‘I’ll show them on film.’ ”
