'Exclusive Season Ticket Holder Practice' - Saturday 7/29 at Univ of St Joseph

[Son of Robert]

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

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.

Does anyone have an extra ticket?

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?

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.

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

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

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

Also usually the open practices at gampel, at least the ones I went to were closer to the start of the season so they’ll probably still do that and this is extra

I think a trip to Europe and Storrs renovations has twisted schedules this year.

Pretty great idea to do a summer trip to get those extra practices plus game warm ups.

Not to mention it’s going to be a great experience for the guys going out the country. Win-win-win situation.

My biggest concern for this year is that we're too talented and aren't going to be able to get enough playing time for all of the studs on our roster.

It always (always) works itself out.

Good. Difference maker for him as the primary backup at the 2/3 will be shooting, for sure.

Keep the updates coming!
