Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3755925, member: 44"] The famous story of Calhoun being furious after a game and wanting to hold a practice immediately after it comes to mind. He was told that he he couldn't hold a practice the same day, so he kept the team in the gym until midnight and then had them practice. I think that Calhoun's success was less due to "tough practices" though that certainly played a role, and more "holding players accountable." The tough practices were just a way to do that. Speaking of tough practices and Geno, his players often say that games are easier than his practices. He routinely puts them in no win situations (playing 5 on 6 etc.) and keeps them going until they succeed. [/QUOTE]
