IU Scott Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 1 hour ago, Madison22 said: Didn't think I'd have to explain this, but: I'm just weary of years of look-at-me muscle pics of the IU basketball team . . . and then being horrible shooters during the season. I'd much rather see Tweets about players who hit 95% free throws or 45% 3-pointers. That would be progress. Instead, we get Tweets from our NFL trainer about lifting weights, jumping, and swimming pools. To be clear, I'm impressed with the effort of the players. Not impressed with the results. Last season, Indiana was dead last in conference for 3-point shots made, and free-throw percentage. Last. 14th out of 14 teams. We were 11th in 3-point shooting percentage. Who is in charge of addressing this? How do they spend their time? Do we even have a shooting coach? Shooting is more important to the game than ever. I don't buy the argument that these were Archie's kids, and we need to wait a few years until they're all gone. Some do believe that. But that's a different thread. Totally agree with you, don't need to see pictures of there body getting larger. Show me them getting better at the game if basketball.

So it's being worked on. We also saw during the season some of the players improving their shooting. Then show that kind of stuff over wight lifting which to me isn't as important to producing great basketball players. Two of the best players in Durant and Curry bodies don't look jacked up and that hasn't kept them from being great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue3542 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Are we not going to talk about the "event" that Purdue organized to replace the crossroads classic? They're bringing in powerhouses Ball State, Davidson, and Illinois State for the inaugural Indy Classic Basketball Showcase. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 39 minutes ago, tdhoosier said: Cross training (yoga, swimming, primal movements in sand pits, etc.) is very important because it prevents muscle imbalances. Athletes in every sport perform repeated movements unique to the sport they are competing in. This creates muscle imbalances. Muscle imbalances create injuries. While swimming may not improve their shooting performance, it will increase the chances they’ll be healthy enough to be in games, injury free, so they can shoot the ball. Not to mention, cross-training improves agility so they can stay in front of their opponents defensively. Balance so they can finish after contact. Core strength so they don’t get knocked off of their position, Etc., etc. However, if NCAA basketball consisted only of playing H-O-R-S-E, you’d have an outstanding point. Dude, just let them tweet fun videos to get fans who aren’t as crazy as us excited about this team. Obvious these kinds of things haven't prevented I juries from happening in the past. I keep hearing how much better shape today's athletes are but why are injuries a lot higher today than in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand if you are injured but it seems like players won't play if they aren't 100 percent. That is why the Pacer fans dislike Brogdon so much is because he won't play if he doesn't feel 100 percent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe to you it isn't important but I would rather see videos of them on the court than in the wright room or in the sand out. Yes I am old and think getting better on the court is more important than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endurance and agility are developed JUST as much in the weightroom as not. 😅😅 AND THIS VIDEO WASN'T FROM THE WEIGHT ROOM!!! I think swimmers have decent endurance though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 After a work out. During a workout This was all in the last week. Individuals often post their own Individual workouts. There is also a period called a down period. I'm 90-95% certain where coaches aren't allowed to have workouts with their players. I assume that time for D1 basketball is early june. Maybe 3-4 week time frame. Can work with trainers, not coaches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As, I said, I’d just like to see some good evidence of your claim. something a little more concrete than whatever your perception is. And see @IUFLA’s comment above. Playing through injuries doesn’t mean that they don’t happen. There’s a lot more money in pro sports. The practice of being extra cautious are owner’s protecting their investment and players protecting their value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
