Practices start today Mon 8/24 !
« on: August 24, 2009, 03:31:42 PM »
Anyone with any reports ?
I assume practices are closed.
Conditioning ?
Do newcomers get to "scrimmage/run" before practice ?
Is everyone 100% ?

Although SJU site saye 4 newcomers cant practice till 1st day of fall semester,
 what if they're taking summer classes (Stith per JJ interview) ?

Not if they started practicing today :)

We always have injuries under Norm. Always.
We'll be without at least 3 players for Canada.

They can't play until the first semester starts for all students.  Not sure why...

Can't blame Norm for injuries.  That is just silly.

At first glance it is silly, but if every year, you're left with gaping holes at key positions
you have to wonder what Roberts has them doing in practice.

Apparently, they practice hard, but when you watch them play, they rarely have idea where they should be on the court.

So our guys are working hard, getting hurt, and they're still lost out there.
For that, I blame Norm.

And ya know what, when the Yankees had a trainer that had players dropping like flies, they told the trainer to put his stuff in a box. I'm sure if it were legal, they would have executed him.

Poison. Always the drama queen. Executed? Geez.  You make a good point and end it with something http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMpsttlXye8&feature=relateded like that.

Joint injuries I'd blame on a trainer/strength coach if they were too frequent. Mase is injury prone. JBs injury was freak. Maliks injury had nothing to do w trainer. Gotta look at the details.

Well said. Injuries happen. Whether its an elbow to the face or somebody stepping on your hand it is a part of the game.

In terms of strength and conditioning. I think the team has made a lot of strides under Pat Dixon whereas when the team was under Jeff Smith the team never saw any growth. Imagine Lamont on the Dele workout routine.

It was a joke. Jeez.

The point is, sure they need to work out, but what they really need is work on their game. Practice playing. I don't care how buff you are, if you're lost on the court it's useless. Coker was buff last year, too. Big deal.

Jokes are supposed to be funny.  Not sure anyone got the humor.  Stick to what you know.

Thanks Pete. Maybe we should bring Iverson in to give the boys a pep talk about practices.

Even though they can't practice they can still do after practice pickup games with the team, right?
