So my point still stands.


You said 2 or 3 done. Lamb and Jones both fall under that. Or are you just changing it to suit your argument now?

As far as Miller, Gillispie just about broke him. The ground Cal had to make up with him to get him to a point where he could make a NBA roster was pretty steep. But I'm guessing we're not going to count the fact that Cal had him for two whole seasons either.

One again, you said TWO or three done.

I think the kids get much better not through coaching in less than a year than they do by simply playing much better competition and adjusting to that. I find it very hard to believe actual fundamental development by coaching takes place in less than 1 year with a 1 and done. They may pick up a thing or two, but not enough to call it any sort of "development". It truly takes at least 2 possibly 3 years to "develop" a kid from high school.


Like I said, call me when you see a Cal practice before you make that judgement.

Coach Cal somehow develops better fundamentals of top athletes in a year that puts them in a greater position to succeed in the NBA? Come on, now. That's a pretty ridiculous statement/argument.

I know absolutely nothing about coaching basketball and could have coached some of those guys into the first round

You directly quoted me saying beyond sophomore year in your response. So once again, juniors/seniors and I provided a perfectly good example. Your juniors/seniors last season were a big bag of mediocre to suck.

As if other practices are way different? Look, you can believe Cal does some sort of miracle development in simply months all you want, fact is players dont "Develop" that fast. Fact is these kids learn more from playing much better competition that quickly than pickup a simple thing or two. It takes well beyond a semester and a half to have any true development.
