Arkansas Pine Bluff coach calls time out and makes his own team run sprints.  These guys prob didn't get orange slices at halftime.

My high school coach made us do this.  We thought he was fucking nuts.  4 months later we were playing for the State Championship at the FEC.

And that coach's name? Gene Hackman.

who knows, maybe Arkansas Pine Bluff will get their act together and earn a chance to play Duncanville for the title in a few months.

This goes way back but I remember reading about a coach somewhere in the northeast that put thumbtacks in the heels of his kids shoes to make sure that they always played on their toes.

When John Chaney coached at Temple, he used to have practice around 6 am every morning and his reasoning was that at the end of the day, his kids would be too tired to get into any trouble.

Bob Huggins got tired of his kids half-assing it when he made them run sprints, so he bought some treadmills and had them right next to the court on the highest setting.  Your punishment was time in 15 second increments.

Do you know what else sucked? When we were shooting free throws after practice, if anyone missed a shot, all of his teammates had to run sprints while he had to watch. Not a great way to make friends but at the dining hall, you got a table all to yourself.😁

In high school, we were a powerful team but our woefully outgunned rival scored 18 points from the charity stripe to keep a game semi-close.  Post game, we don't even head to the bus for the trip home, coach has us run 18 iron horses in their home gym.
