Looking forward to a practice report from Cameron Mills on Wednesday

RUN THEM like Pitino did, no one should be in better cardio shape than us.
Yes, it is…in fact it’s so easy, I can say it too.
“RUN THEM like Pitino did, no one should be in better cardio shape than us.”
Since the only thing I ran was my mouth (figuratively), not really sure the phrase should be “us”, but makes me feel better when I do!
Can't wait, Cam always has some interesting takes and is a great dude.
Except for that one time I ran into him while I was shopping at an Aldi off New Circle Road. He came up to me and reached into my cart, pulling out a package of carving board ham I'd picked up earlier. He asked me point blank if he could have a couple of slices. I politely told him no. He then exaggeratedly starting stamping his feet and in a baby voice started saying "but i'm so hung-wee. pweease mister, Cam needs da hams." When I declined again, he took the package and held it near his butthole, then made one of the loudest, nastiest farts I've ever heard in my life. It was like a rancid combination of battery acid, body odor, and dog vomit. He then put the package up to his face, took a nice, long sniff, and said "that'll do" before tossing the package back into my cart and then literally skipping away like a school girl. I saw him a few minutes later and he was berating some poor cashier for not offering free samples. But still, Comeback Cats, '98 for life. Good dude.

I love this. Pope is going to run them like Rick did. You know who ran on Dunkin.
Half our team are 5th year guys, basically geriatric. Might need to take it easy.
Lol yes it is and I suck at running. But man I loved the way Pitinos teams seemed to NEVER run out of gas.
Coming today (Thursday).
I’m excited to hear what he saw and what he thinks about this team.
I'm looking forward to it. I like Cameron's reports. Doesn't look like he's been doing many wind sprints though.
Believe it or not, he’s actually trim compared to about ten years ago. He was giving Lorenzen a run for his money for a while.
Dude hit that Duke 3 and can get a meal on me anytime we are in the same joint.
and you know that this place is not full of posters within the recommended BMI range.
Is it good or bad there was no mention of how the team was performing ?

Sounds like CMP is holding the players accountable, generally and severally, to him and to each other.
You got that right very instrumental in helping us win that 1998 championship! He’s set for life right here in this great state!
I remember my old coach would say "on the line" at the end of practice. What he did though was to have us shoot free throws. If you hit both nobody ran, hit one and missed one means a sprint, and missed both meant a quarter court (run to foul line and back, then to half court, then to other foul line, then to other base line and back). The whole team ran too. Needless to say, we put in the work on our own to be good free throw shooters to keep from the running.
enjoyed the bonding portion the most, as I believe this age of NIL will cause hard feelings if someone is paid an outrageous amount of $
tensions, for what ever reason, will destroy the chemistry needed to succeed

Mills doesn’t remember or didn’t know, Tubby brought in a sports psychologist once. Whole team was going through a shooting drought including at the charity stripe. Among other things, the guy showed them that the hoop was wide enough two balls could go through it at one time.

Jay Bilas suggested the team go see Brokeback Mountain and have a good cry.
So much talk about this roster all summer.
I'm eager to see if this team can actually perform together.

Having “hell week” before the season starts seems way more beneficial than “camp cal” in the middle of the season.
Captain wiggle fingers is distracting me.
Perhaps holding a mic would help.

I have yet to see a college coach drill free throws in practice using game simulated situations. Namely, have the players run the floor several times, then stop and shoot foul shots. Learn how to calm down their breathing and relax their heart rate. FTs are missed often because the player is still in high BPMs and is suddenly changing to a static activity. Players should practice that transition so they understand how their bodies are affected by it, then they can learn to control it.
I'm not saying no coach does this. I just haven't seen it.
Pope is taking those sprints from Pitino to this team. I like those teams that just wore people down when we threw 9, 10, 11 and 12 players at them who were all in shape pressing full court.
i love the lines final 4 here, banners here.

I remember a SEC opponent when asked when he knew UK ( under prime Pitino) was going to win.
Replied- “watching them in the layup line”
UK was a physically intimidating team in style and practice.
