[SoFla Steve]

And at away games, too.

He has a lot of ground to make up. He never sent us anyone.

Except his son

I remember hearing that there was some kind of bad blood with Calhoun, but I don't remember the details (if I ever knew them.)

Not true.

I heard the same thing. I also read that he had "UConn drills" at his practices.

 

[The Viking]

They're both tough nosed Irish warriors. I could see it go either way but I'd have to imagine even if there was bad blood for some reason there isn't now.

He does. Teaches it at the coaching clinics he gives with USA basketball.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the rest of the play?

What are "UConn drills"

Everyone gets on the baseline. Then a fairly large man of Irish decent pummels you for 30 seconds while randomly berating you. If you survive, you get a water break before running Suicides. If you fail, you have to do the Husky Drill. You even want to know what Husky Drill is.

What are "UConn drills"

after the drill, the players throw up into a garbage can

I remember hearing the same thing, but I thought somebody mentioned the real reason was something like Bob Hurley thought him and Jim Calhoun had very similar personalities, and Bob felt that he already put his kids through boot camp at St Anthony’s the same way Calhoun would at UConn. Because of that, he felt his players would be better suited playing for a coach that did not have that same type of personality. I don’t know how true that even is, but I just remember reading that on here a while back when it was discussed.

I think it was an urban legend

 

[CL82]

I think it was an urban legend

Could be, but it does explain why we never picked up a kid from him.

 

[Palatine]

Except his son

He didn't send us Danny. Danny like a lot of his players went to Seton Hall. Danny came on his own and dragged the old man along. Check it out. St. Anthony High School, Jersey City (NJ) Basketball Players - RealGM
