Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Coaches aren't allowed to actually coach the players until Midnight Madness, right? It's also true that your players have been in the gym every week since the season finished in March, right? So what do you do from March until October? How do the players know what to work on? [/ QUOTE ] no, this is incorrect. Once a team's season is over, the coaches cannot coach until the end of the NCAA tournament. When that is finished, we have 4 weeks of "individual" workouts where we can workout 4 players at a time. I believe we are allowed to work with them for 120 minutes/wk for those 4 weeks. During summer, we are not allowed to coach at all. When school starts again, we have individual workouts for a few weeks (120 minutes/wk) and then we can start working with the whole team at the same time about a month into school. Again, each player can only be worked out for 120 minutes per week until the first official day of practice. The players do weights and have open gym in the interim, but none of this can be mandatory. [/ QUOTE ] So what's the significance of Midnight Madness? [/ QUOTE ]It signifies the official start of bball season...that Friday is the first day that teams can hold full practices

Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
How did you get this job? What are you qualifications for a coaching job besides being a player? Have you read " the 7 habits of highly effective people"?

[ QUOTE ] we dont compete with them [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] am currently an assistant coach at a Division 1 University in Texas. [/ QUOTE ] OK [/ QUOTE ] Lol that's just trolling. I played a short stint at a small (basketball program-wise) D1 school and we never played UofI. It's not like the NBA where every team plays every other team. (<-- Cpt. Obv. to the rescue)

Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
As a non-American it seems strange to me that college basketball and American football draw such a big audience, when there are also top level professional leagues in the same games. What is the attraction of these sports when played at college level?
edit: for example, why is there no such following for college baseball?

Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
Is he D1A or AA?
Sorry to [censored] on your thread, but this seems a lot like, "Ask a high school bball coach." The way this particular thread works best is with the details: finances, recruiting tricks, scheduling practices to get around NCAA regs, mentoring kids away from home and into the college environment for the first time, etc. Refusing to say what teams you compete with and giving platitudes like, "Oh, all our players meet academic requirements!" takes all of the wind out of the thread.

[/ QUOTE ] There is no "AA" for basketball. Every team has a chance to win the NCAA tourny that is D1. However it is clear this is a small program. Possibly the Southland , an Independent , or some other small conference that has only one Texas team like the SWAC. I do my absolute best to follow the small conference basketball ( before I had a job a made some really good money following these conferences) and would love to know how a small conference teams does their schedule. How much is the biggest "guanrentee" pay day you've had? Is it hard to find games? What is the atmosphere like in the last few game sbefore the conference tourny? Is the team only looking forward to that since thats their last chance to qualify for the postseason (assuming you are in a conference). I am assuming you don't want to post the team as that would show a link with a gmabling associated site, but I would absolutly love to follow your team this season if you would send a PM with some more info.
