Rabby seems less connected than ever.  I’ve got a few friends on his site and I hear some of this interviews.  On most topics he is vague and hedges, probably because he doesn’t know.  Then when it happens he claims he knew.  I just rarely find him to be insightful.

This is 100% correct. After last season he lost a lot of sources.

Hex is short for hexadecimal. It's a numbering system often used in electronics and computer science/programming since it's base 16 (2 to 4th power) and can be used to represent binary numbers in a format which is much easier to read and write. 

It has 0-9, same as the base 10 number system you're used to, but also uses letters A-F for 10-15.

So 0x1c (hex) = 1(16^1) + 12(16^0) = 28 (decimal) = 0001 1100 (binary) for example. 

There's also an octal numbering system (base 8, 0-7) but it's garbage, imo. Long live hex!

And that is your nerd lesson of the day.

we've jumped the shark... nerded all the way out...

Agreed.  I don’t think Rabjohns is that good.

Bob Knight stated the best opinions on writers many years ago.

Randy ********* Whitman! 
 

It’s 2PM EST, it’s Randy Whitman hour boys and girls!

You don’t find it interesting that Hubie Brown “retired” from TNT just this week?

This has been about 40 pages of pining for Brad Stevens. This is one starved fanbase. 
 

I hope people aren’t sleeping on Dusty May. What he’s doing up in Ann Arbor is pretty impressive. Most schools in our position might not even get a top choice with that kind of profile. And I guess he’s our second choice. 
 

It’ll be interesting to see who UNC zeros in on eventually. I don’t see any more Roy Williams types on the horizon. Good chance they don’t get a coach like May.

He can still tweet out little misleading "teasers" that get people to subscribe for disappointing information.

I am in the camp that believes Marshall has a ton to do with our shooting issues.  When I played in HS our coaches warned us that significant weight lifting would affect our shooting and we would need to put in twice the shooting work to maintain.  Also, it was heavily discourage during season.  Anytime you mess with the shooting motion ratio (including visual, muscle memory and strength) that its is going to affect your percentage/ability until your brain retrains itself and gets the ratio back in sync.  Now, that could be all BS, but I do know I shot worse immediately after nearly every single time, so I believe it from first hand experience.

Absolutely 100% true. The idea is to get to where you want to be and then maintain that as best you can. Changing in muscle mass, up or down, will affect your shooting. Once you're where you want/need to be you put in the reps needed daily to get dialed in.

And….B.S.  points 1508  steals, assists 444, 157 3 pointers 138  26.8 per game (all metro, 3 times all conference, 1st team academic all state, sectional MVP

 

Couldn't help but notice that Brad wore #31, and there is no doubt as to why he chose that number.  It certainly reflects a sense of local pride.

This is why the vast majority of adding muscle is done during the offseason. So the player has time to acclimate through high quality and quantity of shooting drills under new weight. 

Edit: We see this all the time when players struggle upon entering the program. Yogi Ferrell added significant mass and took time to get his shot used to his new muscle. The added mass was necessary for a player his size not to be pushed around. But it takes time and adaptation.

Exactly. Get there in the off season and practice practice practice. I agree completely.

It's why ... "arm days" don't happen for a D1 athlete, well any athlete. 

But, some here are making it seem like they think lifting, even in-season, is a negative. That couldn't be any further from the truth. It's inarguable that "being strong" gives you the best advantage in being a better shooter/basketball player. 

It seems like they think Clif has them doing bench press and barbell curls before a game or something lol

Which makes it even more ridiculous that he took the word of guys within the program with major character flaws and went with the hit piece on a now former assistant coach a few years ago. But that's another story...

It's tough to move on because all the other coaches are coaching their teams right now. Their not available till end of March and the beginning of April. 

In your opinion how long do you think it actually takes him to decide vs when it gets leaked compared to the two week timeline?

Yeah, body part splits are not done at the collegiate level. Hell, they shouldn't even be done at the high school level but many small high schools don't have access to appropriate coaching. Strength training and conditioning are still done in season but to maintain the muscle that was added in the off-season.

small high school here, thankful our head football coach was the real deal in the weight room, we didn't split body parts. Lifted 6 times a week in the offseason though... tough tough program. 

14-15yr olds that are HS FR playing JV/FR football are a little different than the needs of D1 basketball players in a 40-game season, but yes, generally, I agree.
