UConn Men's Basketball team has fired S & C Coach Travis Illian

You can't compare Adams and Purvis in terms of Strength conditioning fairly. Just as human beings, Purvis is a muscular bowling ball with a great vertical, in other words, a freakish athlete. Also from a training standpoint, Purvis had five years worth of conditioning training by the end of this year. I'm sure Adams learned the importance of conditioning from this year, it might be his biggest takeaway, and he'll be better moving forward for it.

Strong, Physical South Carolina Is Muscling Its Way Through the NCAA Tournament

"Justin McKie was sure he was injured. It was the summer of 2013, the morning after his first weightlifting session as a South Carolina freshman, and he’d never felt so sore. “There’s no way I’m supposed to feel like this,” he told Mark Rodger, the team’s athletic trainer. Rodger assured McKie that his body was not broken. “Your muscle is just building,” he said. Three years later, McKie is barrel-chested with sculpted arms—toned, tough and tenacious. The same goes for fellow senior guards Sindarius Thornwell and Duane Notice. Together, they are part of a perimeter group that’s as physically intimidating as any you’ll find in college basketball, the key to a defense that ranks second in the nation in adjusted efficiency... and playing in its first Final Four."

The injury thing blew a hole in his academic theories. Before this year it was you may not think you see big strong guys but your eyes are lying. He believed he improved flexibility and conditioning - not necessarily making you bench more weight and built visible muscles but allowing you to do more reps of moderate weights but more importantly do isolation work on muscles and tendons that are not necessarily usually the focus of traditional strength programs but are important in his academic theories and with his gymnastic background. But, the unfortunate injuries took away that argument even if they weren't his fault.

It's not a gymnastics team.

They do look strong but the trainer has to have players' genetics to work with. Jack LaLane couldn't have bulked up Brimah and Facey as much as they needed to be.
