I know he did it at least once because I was there. Many years ago.Knowing every little detail of the venue is critical when it comes to being an inch away from a baseline to a heel touching the line. Especially at home court. Smart move.
Curious how often Calhoun did this.
I think they actually stayed in hotels close to hartford when they were on breakKnowing every little detail of the venue is critical when it comes to being an inch away from a baseline to a heel touching the line. Especially at home court. Smart move.

Yes. I know the team barber. He would go to their hotel to cut their hair. Sometimes it would be downtown, or at a hotel near Buckland Hills.I think they actually stayed in hotels close to hartford when they were on break
Yup. Can the Hartford crowd please bring it tomorrow? I'll be doing my part.The fans at XL need to be loud and PROACTIVE with the cheering on the team, not just reactive...

Yeah it's up to the team. Against the Johnnies every nice offensive play which began the noise ended because our defense couldn't get stops. It's the reality of the crowd, the team needs to help create the noise.The crowd usually brings it.
The St John’s game was a snoozer tho.
I think the crowd at Gampel has been great this year. Xavier May have been the loudest I’ve ever heard that building. XL not so much. That mostly has to do with the games though - the opponents and how the games have played out.The crowd usually brings it.

That was an ill-timed tech. A la DH. Although, it almost worked. The ladies could have still won. That handoff on the inbounds was a bad missed call. Decided a lot.The women’s crowd brought it at XL this weekend. Screaming, bulls—- chants and one angry old guy even through a bottle on the court during the second half.
Not sure about that - I think someone had recently unearthed that our shooting % the past few years at XL and Gampel were basically the same (and maybe XL was actually a nudge higher but I might be misremembering)?XL seems like it's a really hard place to get jump shots to fall. Even for the home team.
Been that way forever. Practicing there is a great idea!
DOOMED!
We should’ve played it at Gampel we would’ve won.The women’s crowd brought it at XL this weekend. Screaming, bulls—- chants at the refs and one angry old guy even threw a bottle on the court during the second half.

We also should’ve played Xavier at Gampel too, we would’ve definitely won and covered.
