Gillispe Doesn't Believe In Fatigue?

[RamBackstop8]

Did I read that correctly in the Lexington Herald Leader where he stated that fatigue is all in the mind? Does he run along with the players when he is running them to death at practice? No, he just has his personal driver get the cooler ready for the trip home. :jump:

Actually during the Florida game Erin Andrews stated even though Gillispie won't admit it the players said practice has gotten a lot easier since conference play has started, as far as the running goes. But yes, he did state something like that, he said the body will only get fatigued if the mind allows the body to get fatigued. "Mind over matter".

Do you think Billy never played ball? Never had to deal with fatigue?

I Just got from basic and I do believe him fatique is only mentally. Its one of the main things i've learned while I was gone.

Big difference here, Billy G is 47 years old and an alleged drunk. The players are in the prime of their youth. Fatigue should not be an excuse, unless of course you end up playing 3 games in a row or something.

So can you run ALL day long & not get tired since you know that???

I Agree totally, and this is the way you coach players anyway, to keep fighting no matter how tired you are. That way you cant make excuses.

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all"....not sure who coined it, but Pitino often quoted this.

Vince Lombardi or George S. Patton

You get to a point where you don't notice fatigue. It takes a while, but that is what conditioning is for.

Just makes you wonder if UK wins some of those games if they hadn't been pushed so hard early in the season.

 

Doesn't really matter now, next year BG's job will be on the line and we will see if he continues to change his outlook on things or remains stubborn.

I doubt his job will be on the line next year, first of all. And there is NO WAY he is going to change anything. You should know that by now.

I remember hearing Pitino once make a statement that 21-year old boys don't get tired. If it is something they REALLY want to do, they have energy to do it.

A couple of things here:

1. Even if you are in excellent condition (mentally and physically), it doesn't mean that you can perform at your best. After 48 minutes of basketball, can you keep running? Yes. Can you SPRINT back at full speed to prevent a lay-up? Maybe. Can you still perform basketball related skills effectively (in particular, a jump shot) without being effected?

2. NBA players and their coaches talk about cutting back minutes during the season to eliminate fatigue. It's hard to believe that college players are as well conditioned as NBA players. With Patterson, Bradley, and Crawford continuing to log 40, 42, 44, or even 50 minutes it has to have some effect.

3. In the SEC Tournament (if they win one, two, or three games), can those 3 continue to play well if they have to play 160 or more minutes in 4 days? They've made nice comebacks in the last two games only to lose it (run out of gas?) late.

I'm not a Kentucky fan and I understand that fans for any team will overreact and not give a new coach time.

 

With that said, this team comes out next year and continues to make the same stupid mistakes they are making this year. You mean to tell me his job won't be on the line? If he doesn't change or adapt to his players, that could end up being his undoing.
