He's going to positively reinforce the rough ridin' crap out of them

[Pete]

Right in front of our eyes!

"Hey Tay, that was a lazy perimeter pass, but who among us doesn't feel lazy from time to time?  I know I do, sometimes.  It's okay, let's try our hardest next time! You and me, together!"

[Pete]

"Hey Shane, I'll bet you thought that guarded three from 35 feet out was a good idea?  You rascal!  Would it be OK with you if we didn't do those?  Have I ever told you that I love you?  'Cause I do, Shane.  I really do.  Also, box out."

[pissclams]

good thread.  scratch that.  GREAT THREAD. 

[Pete]

"Hey Rodney, guess what, you'll never guess, but guess what?  When you have the ball in your hands and no one is guarding you, you should probably shoot instead of passing it to Tay.  Bet you didn't see that coming.  Who can blame you?   I know I can't.  Let's just agree to have you shoot the basketball more and pass it to basketball-shooting-challenged-guys less.  Did I say "please?" Ooops, I forgot! PLEASE!"

[Pete]

"JO! My big tall, good buddy...when that defender in front of you pump fakes, it's OK to jump into the air and foul the dickens out of him.  That's not "wrong," but another idea would be to stand there, what with you being the tallest person in the state of Kansas, and make him shoot over you. AND, did I mention that you then stay out of foul trouble? I didn't?  LOL, that's on me, JO, that's on me!"

[Panjandrum]

I love it when Pete does stuff like this.

[Rage Against the McKee]

"OK, guys, we're going to scrimmage 5 on 5 and the losers have to buy the chicken nuggets when we all go to Freddy's. I'll buy for the guys on the bench."

[bubbles4ksu]

I love Pete.

agreed.

He's going to scream their first names a lot for no apparent reason and also scream "move" a crap ton.  Well if it were a game that's what he would do.  Plus his face would be all smeared with dry-erase marker by the end.  Looks like a rough ridin' coal miner.  Maybe he'll get a bit more diverse with it being a practice.

Well he can't pronounce their last names, so what do you want him to do?

who would have thought we needed another pointless thread bitching about our head basketball coach? 

[Pete]

"Hey Big Gip, first, I want to tell you that you have a really attractive beard!  Second, I want to tell you to stop taking a hesitation dribble after those boards, and just go right back up with it!  Again, great beard, no hesitation dribble. Also, I am happy to have you as my friend!"

[Rage Against the McKee]

What line do you think they will start from when they play knockout at the open practice? Free throw, 3 point, or half court?

[chum1]

All are legit reasons to legitly love oscar.

[Mr Bread]

Pete is putting in some first class work here.

Do Will now!

[slobber]

Who was Jet's best buds with on the Bball team? Do that person, and reference Jet leaving in a positive way. I would try to do it myself, but I would fail.

[CNS]

"Guys, I want you to know that you are without a doubt the best basketball team I have seen play in person today." 

[catzacker]

"Hey, Will.  I know when they start playing defense tight on you, it gets tough.  But ya know what?  So does life sometimes.  You remember that picture I have behind my desk in my office?  Yeah, the one with the cat hanging onto the branch?  You hang in there, partner, and just pass it to Rod."

[Underdog Wildcat]

Do Will now!

oscar hears the call:

"Another plus has been Will Spradling, who saw his shooting percentages drop from 40 percent to 36 percent overall, and from 37 percent to 34 percent from three-point range between his freshman and sophomore seasons.

“A lot of it was mental with Will, but it’s also like a baseball hitter in a slump,” said Weber. “You get out of a slump by going back to the basics in terms of foot work, placement of the ball and just putting more time in.”

I love it when a coach goes back to the basics.  I love it so hard.

From now on we refer to shane as the rascal.

This reminds me of when Tom Asbury used to do those midnight madness practices on Halloween that weren't really ever at midnight or the actual fist day of practice, and they would open up the doors at 7.00 and all the kids would come in wearing their costumes and they would get candy and then a couple people would stick around and watch the hoops teams hoop it up in the Bram and Joe Leonard would do a Frankenstein impression.  Wish I could remember the name of those things - Spooktacular or Fright Night at the Bram or something.  ksu_FAN would remember.

Right in front of our eyes!

I went to the Asbury pizza student greeting in Ahearn during the camp out during his first year.  I believed.  I really did.
