Can you let us know what the team does in practice?
I know some posters on here have been to a practice.
- Thread starter catzfanjim
- Start date
I can tell you what they don't do:
1. Practice defending out of bounds plays
2. Practice running out of bounds plays.
3. Practice playing a zone defense.
4. Practice attacking a zone defense.
5. Evidently, practice defense period.
6. Practice a press defense.
7. Others to numerous to name...

Whoever runs the block-out drill needs to be fired immediately
Bout time to play some dodge ball in practice to take the edge off
I'm convinced Cal gives them books, and they have book clubs over what they read during next "practice."
The out of bounds points discrepancy has to be astronomical during Cals tenure. I bet close to +200 points for the opposing teams. That is where coaching comes in. Pathetic!
It sure ain't defense or defending out of bounds plays.
Probably set and watch Drake videos and practice their autograph signings
Cal just rolls the balls out and then he goes home to play with his dog
Everyone stands around and watches Cal get fatter

The facility is too awful for them to practice in.
You contribute a lot to a discussion. I bet a man making 9 million a year really gives a f—- what you or anyone else says about his weight.
And you’re pissing in the wind. Defend Cal’s coaching and I’ll debate you.
His coaching skills can be summed up just by his total inability to coach us up on inbounds plays. He has seen it happen in person and on tape numerous times and nothing changes. What are we working on in practice and if you can't correct this one simple thing what does that tell about his overall coaching abilities.
Oh I’m not defending him, just stating that with a million things going on with him and the team, you choose to says he’s fat. Who gives a flying f——- about that??
I've said for several years now that I'd pay good money just to be able to sit in on one practice to see WTF we are doing! We get worse as the season progresses!
Cal has them pose in front of his NBA wall of fame.
Then they have Ellen’s brownies and milk.

Nope just trying to figure out why calling Cal fat has any relevance to basketball??? Talk about basketball stuff for Gods sake.
I went to the shoot around the day of the USC game. They actually went over the inbound defense for a good period of time. Worked on the guy coming down the lane, the screens USC sets, and the pass out to the corner for a three.
Then in the game Reed was in a daze on one and didn’t do what they worked on and gave up a dunk. Then another player turned his back on his man and gave up an open corner shot.
Same thing happened last night for 2 dunks and a three. All five guys have to have their heads out of their asses or the D breaks down and is disastrous.
They don’t shoot free throws, Edwards talked about watching film on what UT ran, but they didn’t go over how to stop anything.
You'd think that practice would be more difficult than the game.
I know it can be, you almost start thinking that the team is too special to battle.
Basically we've become soft.

I think it speaks to his lack of work ethic. You can't harp on these kids to be in peak condition while looking like a spokesperson for Dunkin Donuts.
I am at a point that I would rather buy a ticket to practice than one to a game. Just once would be enough. The seem to get worse the more they are "coached". Has happened to several of his teams.
Ever since the three point shooting has improved so much and become such a factor in teams’ offenses, no one zones on baseline inbounds anymore.
I’m being dead serious I think they mainly just scrimmage and run that horn action bs he has ran his whole time here
But, you HAVE TO put your BIG right under the basket!!!!
Then, you run a flex defense to where you either switch or go through screens so as not to give up an easy 3. You make them throw it as far as possible from under the goal.
This is middle school stuff!!!!
I would love to see a serious reply to this thread from somebody that has actually seen the practices and can answer the op's questions with knowledge. I've been wondering the same thing, especially after hearing from Cal recently that they rarely scrimmage. What are they doing in practice to get better on defense? After UT's star got his 2nd easy dunk on an inbounds play, at first I thought my stream had gone into a loop. Then when I realized it had actually happened twice in a row I began to wonder how that could be possible for the guy who should be the #1 focus of the defense. When Cal got here there was plenty to criticize about the offense and lack of defensive variation but he did know how to teach his team to play man to man defense. What has changed? What are they doing in practice?
But Cal slaps their hands if they try to assist him in a game.
Sure you can, look at Rick Majerus and dozens more.
