Ray Allen spoke at today’s practice

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Glad this relationship has been mended over the last few years.

Shout off to Kevin Freeman. Think he does a really good job in his current role. There are always alums at the games.

Geez Samson looks huge.

Does anyone know if Ray is going to be at today’s game?

Does anyone know if Ray is going to be at today’s game?

I suspect many players will be in attendance. Pill Gamble for one.

 

[Dove]

I know I was being slightly sarcastic. My humor is questionable

Rudy there as well with Ray it looks like.

Who are all the kids?

His Gulliver team

Ray: “So when you feel the double you pass to the perimeter for the open three…”
Adama: “I’m sorry, I still don’t understand…”

Can one of the resident sneakerheads identify Ray’s kicks?

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Ray Allen was back home Friday night, so to speak: less than an hour away from where he became a household name playing for UConn and 10 minutes from his crowning achievement in the sport of basketball.

Ray Allen was on the sidelines at Springfield College’s Blake Arena. But he wasn't shooting the deep three-ball. Instead, he was coaching Gulliver Prep, a high school team out of Pinecrest, Florida in the famed Spalding HoopHall Classic.

Ray Allen was the NBA's all-time leader in 3-point shooting for more than a decade before being passed by Steph Curry.

The best way to beat a zone is dribble penetration

Not really. Other than a 1-3-1 zones are pretty much specifically designed to STOP dribble penetration. You beat a zone with shooting, rebounding, and creating plays from the middle of the floor.

Helluva pep talk there, Ray.

They can’t shoot but they can drive. So you think you’d try to clog up the paint and make them shoot it from the perimeter. But instead a 1-3-1 zone where drivers can still create and get into, is what Danny likes. Crazy attempt at adjusting, horrible actually!

Ray was never that vocal leader. We need Coach Calhoun to speak to the team and put some sense into them.

He’s been coaching St Joes into the best in their division. Maybe we can hold out for a comeback? Lol

Nothing says “your coach can’t coach” like bringing in Calhoun to motivate your team.

You’re better off having Calhoun coach, which obviously is completely out of the question.

Since his idol, Ray Allen, stopped by practice, UConn’s Jordan Hawkins has handled the pressure and stepped up his game

The expectations surrounding Jordan Hawkins, who averaged 5.8 points per game in under 15 minutes as a freshman last season, soared as high as the Gampel Pavilion rafters after UConn head coach Dan…

Totally not true

Coach K had Bobby Knight, Larry Brown, Eddie Sutton among others come and talk to his teams. Many coaches do the same at the D1 level.
It's an insecure person who would feel that "your coach can't coach way."
Joe Morrone would bring in many past and contemporary coaches to not only talk to his players but work with them.
I did the same with my teams.

What a great article… I didn’t know Ray Allen was his idol….

HuskyWarrior611; I believe he retired before this season started.
