The strength and conditioning coach was last years scapegoat. Apparently this year's will be Hanson, Hobbs, and Rigot. Who will be the scapegoat next year?

If Patterson and Lucas dont sign -- the scapegoat will be the "fan base" for too much Tubby bashing.

I dont know if this is true, but I heard a rumor from a few people that I know that Coach Hobbs is actually retiring...

Probably one of those ----- Retire or else situations.

Who is to say that is not the case? Who wants to play for a team with fans like that???

If they were that high on UK or Tubby they would have already signed. Patterson knows he would start next year. What is going to change ?

 

I believe he is waiting to see who exactly leaves Florida for the NBA and has always put a different spin on it that is more palatable.

Someone commented on this a few days ago, stating that they could see UK's AD saying "You're who we want!...... but you really need to make some adjustments,.... and well if you don't...."

 

So I could certainly see this as being factual to an extent.

Welcome to yet another excuse. This team just flat out wasn't coached good. Mental toughness is a reflection of leadership. Having no leadership KILLED this team. Noone to guide them through the tough times.

Let's see fire the PA announcer and the assistant coaches. That should fix the problem. I think we a running out of J.D. Barnett disciples to hire.

 

I think Patterson hasn't singed because he isn't convinced that he won't have to play center at UK. Tubby has a history of playing people out of position.

UK had no on court leadership. That's what cost them many close games. As much as you want it to be true, Tubby doesn't have control over that.

I didn't see much improvement in the strength/conditioning capacity, but oh well.

 

Let me fill you guys in on a little about what goes on at the college preparation level. The strength and conditioning coach spends the early part of the off-season lifting heavy weights and running short distances, sprints, etc followed by a regiment of long distance running. As the season nears they spend more time running and a little less lifting. As the season begins and progresses the strength coach is simply that. He is no longer conditioning the players with running as the coach does that during his practice planning. This way he can monitor the team's strength with tiredness and that sort of thing. Mostly they just stretch the players out and make sure that they are prepared for a practice with no injuries and then lift weights either before or after practice whatever the head dog suggests.

 

And by the way, the strength coach worked wonders, example; STEVENSON. He did a super job and Bradley who I dont even like to watch, he had some pipes at the end of the season.

Oh by the way, UKMustang, Great post, cant win without a point guard, this isnt the NBA people.

Reggie Hanson was at the games at Rupp today if that means anything....

Networking for a high school coaching job?

 

This is not out of the question.

I have heard that Rigot & Hanson will be let go for a few months.
