Why couldn't he make these type gains in 3 years here? I know he was injured so I'll throw out a whole year
He's done this in just a couple months or so and he couldn't do it in 2 whole years here?? Is it Rock's methods?

I believe it is a time conflict . School practice, games. May some muscle building stuff that the NCAA doesn't Allow . Again I am just guessing.
I got this from another forum.
ATTENTION NCAA ATHLETES: Banned Substance Thread
Recently, there have been a number of threads and posts about NCAA banned substances. I know first hand that there is a lot of misconception out there regarding this subject. With this thread I will attempt to clear up as many misconceptions as I can. This thread is meant to be informative, reliable, and helpful. This thread is not meant to be a debate on if a substance should be banned or not, or why it is banned. I obviously have no control over that.
In my opinion the NCAA does a terrible job with their banned substance list. The list is extremely vague and I believe that is what causes so much confusion. The NCAA itself states: "There is not complete list of banned drug examples."
NCAA athletes should stay away from any supplements a banned substance is found in. Penalties for failing an NCAA Drug Test are very severe and the NCAA puts the responsibility on the student-athlete to know what they are using. The NCAA does not care if you didn't know that you were taking something that is banned.
I would recommend to all NCAA athletes that they disclose any supplements they are taking or thinking about taking to their athletic training staff or strength coaches. Unfortunately, many athletic trainers and/or strength coaches are not very knowledgeable about supplements. There is a good chance that they will tell you to stop taking all supplements. Hopefully this thread will be able to help you make informed choices on your own.
For each substance that is banned, I will provide every alternative name to that substance that I know of, types of supplements that it is commonly found in, and specific supplements that it is found in. The following is a list of common banned substances:

-Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids
-Pro-Hormones
-HGH
RESTRICTED SUBSTANCES
Caffeine
The next subject I touch on will be caffeine. This is where most of the uncertainty comes from in regards to the NCAA banned substance list. Caffeine is classified as RESTRICTED by the NCAA, it is NOT banned.
Drugs and Procedures Subject to Restrictions:
a. Blood Doping.
b. Local Anesthetics (under some conditions).
c. Manipulation of Urine Samples.
d. Beta-2 Agonists permitted only by prescription and inhalation.
e. Caffeine if concentrations in urine exceed 15 micrograms/ml.
http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/...ned+drugs+list
It would take an extremely large dose of caffeine to fail an NCAA Drug Test for caffeine.
Caffeine doses above 9 mg/kg can result in urinary caffeine levels that surpass the doping threshold for many sport organizations
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...tool=pmcentrez
For example; I weigh 223lbs/2.2=101kg---->101 x 9mg=909mg - So it would take someone my size around 900mg of caffeine in 5 hours (half life of caffeine) to fail an NCAA Drug Test for caffeine. It's not recommended for anyone to take that much caffeine at once. Obviously the safe amount of caffeine will differ with people that weigh more or less than me, so do your own calculations.

people just dont get that the reality is college is a joke. little to no development actually happens. its mostly guys getting older and get more time while more young kids come in. also too much noise and BS. get up early go to the gym. but you have to cut it short because you have class. then you have study halls. then after that you have go sign some t-shirts. then then "get shots up".
look at his routine now. its a program that is 100% designed for him working with modern professionals. core for 2 hours, skill work for 2 hours, strength for 2 hours, then skill work for 2 hours. plus a custom monitored diet. thats a full 8 hour work day doing nothing but basketball. at college...you can only work out with your coach for 20 hours a week!
First of all, these are world class athletes; and WCS is in the top 1% of even that group athletically. So we're talking THE best of the best.
Secondly in college, they had classes and restriction on coach interaction. So alot of their development is in their hands.
Thirdly, their nutrition gets incredibly better. No more Tolly Ho or fast food. Instead, they have a nutritionist who creates a specialized program just for them. This will result in a huge leap forward in the short term, before it begins to plateau. Maybe the NCAA easing restrictions on food will help the players in this aspect.
Fourthly, I cant help but think Rock is just a subpar strength and conditioning coach. I think his methods are dated, and we need a replacement. Look at Erik Korem's high performance program over on the football team. Incredibly modern and cutting edge. Look at this video: WCS is doing tons of sport specific movements rather than just basic movements, which is the focus of older approaches.
While most of the elements are out of the coaches hands, UK basketball must get modern and upgrade their S&C program. With the resources available to UK basketball, theres no way we shouldnt be doing better in this aspect imo.

Can you at least point out how our men's basketball S&C is lagging behind other top programs?
How do you get that lol? Are you inside the program or did we lose the basketball sprint competition they held after the season...I seem to have forgotten that though.
Like I said in my post, look no further than videos like this or the ones coming from the football teams high performance program. Sport/movement specific training, along with the data collection is the new norm. A few seasons ago, UKMB started the data collection with heartrates, etc; but Iirc Rock didn't have anything to do with that.
Willie did not have many offensive moves around the basket so I can see why there was no time to see if he had a three point shot or not. In college its all about need on the floor. If you don't have an inside game, opponents will spread the floor out on you and stop the outside shooting. As with Davis, you put him in a position where he can win you a championship not where he can try and learn how to be an outside shooter in one year. The NBA improves great players even more quickly because its now a 24/7 job, with no distractions.
He went from a 4 * to a lottery pick maybe even top 10 very good improvement in the time he was here if you ask me.
Maybe the spark got fanned into flame and now it's a raging inferno.. Maybe just his time to step up.
According to several friends of mine with ties to the S&C program, Rock is viewed by many as a subpar strength coach. There's a reason Stoops booted him from the football program when he first got the job. He hired Korem and a new S&C coach.
Pretty sure Rock was accused of a PED when he was with the Bengals as well, although I could have misread that and mistaken it for someone else.
I've long felt that we need to boot Rock and get us a new S&C coach.
