Somewhat OT- Who is our Strength and Conditioning Coach?

[TerryA88]

Not speaking about the teams wind/ cardio....but I recall UConn hearing about UConn loosing a renowned Kemba era strength coach. I understand the ages the ages (18-21) of the athletes on the squad , but how do athletes like Hamilton gain under 5 pounds in 3 years of college? Did Lamb gain 6 pounds?

Boatright has shown more gains athletically with weight gains than ANY frontcourt player who's been here 2 or more years. . With Brimak / Facey / Nolan / Hamilton in the mix...I'm a little concerned.

It ain't all genetics. Maybe the new NCAA dining rules might help?

We've only had our new strength and conditioning coach for a year. Hopefully he will beef up some of our skinnier guys

edit: I just noticed you said you don't mean the conditioning coach. As far as I know there isn't one coach for conditioning and one coach for strength training. I think Travis Illian does both

Thanks for the post David , I had no idea he's only been here a year. I am impressed with his credentials and more optimistic about the future.
