Thanks. Any thing else stand out? Wish they had a scrimmage.
A few things I noticed:
These kids are very likable, they are close and get along together. So much positivity and non verbal, straight up brotherhood.
my wife and I noticed that Cliff and Ralph Agee made a lot of their FTs.
The game pressure on FTs was made when Pike saw too many misses, he would announce that the clock for the drill would go back to the beginning, 2 minutes. He would also call out certain players, so they knew he was watching, to add “pressure” to make the FT. I liked the drill.
Jaden Jones was about 10/11 of what I saw on FTs. He has a sweet stroke.
A lot of time was spent on defensive fundamentals. Hope Greene FIG was there! Numerous closing out drills. Ball you man. Three man perimeter m2m defense. Rebound and outlet. I wouldn’t expect less of Pike and staff.
The bigs did not shoot the pop out to the medium corner, catch and shoot a 15 footer well at all. I saw 9 misses in a row toward the end.
everything was timed and extremely efficient.
there was a lot of clapping and high energy throughout the practice.
Cliff is fast. Cliff is athletic. Cliff is fun. Cliff is a leader.
the managers work their tails off, add a lot of energy and are a part of the practice plan. They know all of the timing and details. Much appreciated, guys!!
Most players pay attention to the details, but some more than others.
I like our team!
