New era of transparency emerging?

Some interesting info within...

>>... he didn't like the Shenkman Training Center's gray walls or corporate feel. He wanted it to be a place of energy and inspiration, and a sanctuary for his team.

A couple months later, the inspirational signs are up and the handrails have a fresh coat of red paint. What was a kicker's meeting room has been transformed into a snack station, complete with movie-theater like dispensers on the wall, for players who might like some dried fruit or a few mixed nuts. The windows in the players' lounge have been smoked out to give them more privacy.

There is a hallway decorated with Fathead posters of every rising senior on the team, and the dining hall now has supplement drawers for each player, which will be filled with specific vitamins and nutrient supplements, based on individual blood tests.<<

There seems to be a great similarity between Diaco and Auriemma and their approaches. And we now how successful Auriemma has been and still is.

The program is turning the corner.

Obviously what we do on the field matters, but this is a good sign. In this day and age, the most successful college coaches are extreme micro managers. The day of the "CEO" coach is over.

But what about the kickers?..... :D

Yeah. What about the kickers? I heard there are a handful of new homeless guys pushing shopping carts and living out of lean-too's just off Campus.:rolleyes:
