Sal Alosi (New S&C Coach?)

[Edward Sargent]

Hopefully this guy bans video games. I can’t stand seeing snap stories of the players playing 2k all the damn time

Great article a month or so ago (I think in the Courant) about Robert Gsellman the Mets relief pitcher and how the constant position playing 2K 'ed up his mechanics and completely changed the release point of his pitches.

 

[Chief00]

They brought in the most intense possible person. This guy is tripping players and fighting puff daddy im positive he will extract the most out of these kids.

Can’t wait until he meets Bunkey.

 

[WrenchFan69]

I sort of love that this staff is made up of comeback stories. Hurley essentially quit basketball at Seton Hall, Kimani with the drugs, Alosi with the altercations. All coming together for a comeback from two of the worst years UConn could have possibly had. Might end up poetic

 

[Vancat]

Ooooh, maybe he can trip Bunkey.

You forgot all the players suffering under KO for the last couple of years?

I mean someone, out of a chosen few I believe, would have said it anyway

 

[Mokum]

Of course all the judgemental PC boo hoo types have no mistakes in their past. They're all clean as the new fallen snow. Who cares if he got in a fight in college, or beat up some rapper. Good. The critics in here should have probably gotten into an occasional fight when they were young. This is a great hire.

 

[LIuconn]

Even if this guy flames out or whatever, he's gonna be intense and get the most out of his guys.

Enough #UConnluv, time for tough love

 

[Waquoit]

Talented guys who have made mistakes are good value in the budget.

Well said.

 

[Mokum]

Stop creeping on Snap.

Problem solved.

You are welcome.

Isn't snap chat for little girls who are walking around face buried in cell phone 100% of the time? There are actually grown men on it????!

Damn near every college kid I know is active on snap.

I said grown men. Maybe this guy is a student, I don't know. But I do know spending all your time in cyber space is not good.

Not everybody can live the dream in Amsterdam. Or Baltimore.

Good Christ.

WTNH news just did 30 seconds on the hire.

They teased it going into the commercial like Alosi had murdered the Royal Family twice.

One time a billion years ago 15 yards off the field he tripped a guy who had gone off course like Clyde in Pac Man.

Show some gumption UConn - WVIT gets no credentials until nonsense like that stops.

For once - own the narrative.

Like I said before, maybe all these people passing judgement on this guy should clean out their own closet before cleaning someone elses. As for murdering the royal family, I would give him a medal for that. We don't need royalty in 2018. I live in a country with a royal family, and they make me sick. Working people are struggling here and they live like pigs at our expense.

Yes, by all means, turn it into a bigger story. That’s a good idea.

Besides, the only people who saw the story and cared about it are happy there’s finally someone on campus who can make an open field tackle.

 

[David 76]

This guy is a risk. I have no idea if he is a very small risk or a huge one because I don't know how much he changed.
I assume Hurley does.
But if he is as proud of his past mistakes as some of the posters here are; we are in for trouble.

I assume he put it behind him and that Hurley isn't stupid. There is a big difference between intense and out of control.

 

[husky429]

Ooooh, maybe he can trip Bunkey.

One does not simply trip Bunkey.

Yep just sit back passively and monitor the situation.

The ROI on that approach has been fantastic.

This situation you ignore because no one cares.

Picking a fight with the press and yanking a credential works zero percent of the time. Picking a fight and yanking a credential because you don’t like the teaser about your strength and conditioning coach makes sense if you have the temperament and savvy of a 13-year old girl.

Pulling their credential is obvious hyperbole.

1000 apologies for even thinking to question such accomplished decision makers.

What’s the level of savvy that leads to being the biggest loser in CR and carrying the biggest subsidy in the country?

Sky high for sure.

Pretty much everyone I know in their late 20s has snap chat on their phone. Whether they actively use it or not is a different story. It's pretty amazing how big it got considering it was originally just used to send nudes

I guess I am just to old. Snap chat, twitter, facebook, instagram etc., people constantly on their phone. No one learns to interact one on one, face to face in the 3rd dimension where we live. Had a girl here walk out in front of a trolley car and get killed because she couldn't put the damn thing down long enough to cross the street. I am a man from a different time. I use computers, obviously, because I am on here right now, and it is a great thing. But in my archaic opinion young people spend way to much time on all this social media. Will be interesting to see the results over the next couple decades, although I will most likely be dead and gone.

Punish WVIT for what WTNH did. That'll scare 'em all straight.

Yes. All the Ws. Petition for all to lose their FCC licences.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Picking a fight and yanking a credential... makes sense if you have the temperament and savvy of a 13-year old girl.

...or an almost 72 year old politician with thin skin and mean girl tendencies.

 

[Exit 4]

When will Whaler get his own university and university athletic program to run? What would it look like; Notre Dame + Stanford + Duke + Texas with a large side order of Louisville? We know it wouldn't look like UConn.

Mini-fridges in all administrative offices, for starters.

Yeah, except there would be only one admin office - his, which is respectable. Everyone else would get canned and not replaced.

 

[Travelman6]

ehhhhhh...Not a big fan of the hire considering the history BUT I guess all people turn it around. Perhaps he was able to prove, during the hiring process that he has indeed done so. At least I hope that was a topic that was covered (in a respectable manner of course).
