Calm the masses about what? Hurley has things rolling.

A potential move to a new conference perhaps.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Calm the masses about what? Hurley has things rolling.

The lack of marquee home games?

My wife said her sister's wedding is more important and I can't go see the open practice. Can we start a poll and get me out of this?

If you want sleep on the couch for a few years it’s an option Lol

 

[auror]

I am a huge conspiracy theorist. The timing of this seems suspicious. Maybe it’s a chance for Hurley to calm the masses?

OR

they've just been practicing a bunch more in the summer because of the tour and this is a way to show off a bit before they leave for said tour on the 2nd.

Maybe. But 3 days notice? They knew about their summer schedule for quite some time.

 

[Vancat]

Anyone get any confirmation???

 

[Vuce]

Anyone get any confirmation???

Still no word for me either

 

[ToolzieFan]

Just got my confirmation email, let’s go! I can’t say to see the boys in action again.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Just my confirmation. Should be a fun time.

 

[Vuce]

Just got my email too - I am IN!

 

[Vancat]

Got!

 

[prankster]

How much practice do season ticket holders need?

And just exactly how much better at holding those tickets are they expected to get?

 

[GemParty]

We’re in. Say hello, if you see us wearing….

Like I said. I’m sure we’ll podcast, post practice reaction.

There are So many fans from out of state who can experience the event thur our eyes.

Mike & Joseph

 

[krinklecut]

Got my confirmation. See you weirdos there

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Heard @Ewekon is having a pre-practice get together at his place for anyone interested…

 

[willie99]

I’d pay someone for their pass. DM me if interested.

I just tried, they said they're at full capacity

And I have a lot of points, guess it really was first come first served

If I recall correctly not so long-ago men's D1 basketball teams could not have organized practices with a coach present until October 1st.

Now it seems that every D1 college has coach lead practices throughout the year.

When did the NCAA rule change?

The foreign tour allows for a certain number of summer practices before the tour.

In other years, they're doing mostly informal coach-less practices.

I think they filled up sooner because season ticket holders were allowed to bring guests. Two or three here, two or three there, boom, filled to capacity. I would have done the same though. Next year I'll be quicker. At least we all get to hear from those who do go, their takes on the players and team.

 

[PaulVentrales]

Does anyone have an extra ticket?

Practices don't have coaches. That's how they get around it. When I was playing, we practiced most of the summer. Coaches would give a practice plan to the captains/student managers.

I think what you're seeing is the effect of social media, not any NCAA rule chance.

I thought assistant coaches could help out, just not the head coach, although I played DII so I’m sure no one cared to check. Maybe that was just for pre-season conditioning. Long time ago…

I'm not familiar enough with the rules to say. Long time ago for me too.

Teams can practice in the summer with coaches now, there are just limits on how long (per week and for the whole summer) and how much of the time can be dedicated to on-court skill instruction. Teams doing summer trips also get up to 10 extra allowable practices.

 

[PaulVentrales]

It's frustrating that they're deciding to do this at St. Joseph's with a max capacity of 450 ppl (inclusive of Season ticket holders guests). Why be so limiting? Especially in light of prior open practices for Season ticket holders held at Gampel to capacity. So many are excluded that would otherwise want to go.

Have to assume the court isn't ready at Gampel

Have to assume the court isn't ready at Gampel

I was in Storrs yesterday and there were people bringing in equipment, so you're likely correct.

 

[aburks41]

Can people in attendance take some videos for the rest of us
