Hire a Strength Coach already!
Hire him yesterday, it doesn't matter who. As long as he motivates the players to work out, he doesn't need to be any cutting edge, triple certified Ph.D in kinesiology. It doesn't matter if he uses weights or uses body weight exercises. Just someone who can motivate the guys to workout 5 times per week over the summer and not eat Chings everyday.

Just get him in here and get the players working, every day matters.

I recall that Pastner said they had a staff of 4-5 strength coaches. In any event, you're right. They need to start for next season as soon as possible. It would be nice to wear the black unis next season and actually intimidate their opponents even before the game starts.

Can't just hire anybody. This hire might be and probably is the most important hire. The assistant coaching positron is important, but this strength coach is a crucial hire. Must get the right guy and not just anyone

RE: Hire a Strength Coach already!
I think getting the right guy counts. I have never played big time athletics, and while in decent shape for my age and general lack of ability, I am not 100% familiar with what is required out of a strength / conditioning coach for basketball. I assume the main criterion would be:

- Motivator
- Organizationally solid and able to process data about workouts.
- Able to accurately set goals for individual athletes strength goals by position and skill set (ex: all work on leg strength, but bigs might work more on base strength with guards working more on lift?)
- Able to set up a reasonable and effective conditioning regimen that is closely tied to the lifting goals.

It actually to me seems like a more difficult job than ("push! PUSH! One MORE!). But I am admittedly pretty dumb on this one. All I know about basketball specific strength is that leg strength for leaping both in height and quickness of the floor is key.

Anyone got a good idea what the job entails exactly?

Base is too high, probably at expense of leg strength. Likely sacrifices range of motion for unnecessary bulk, hurting ability to move in traffic without fouling and hampering open court speed.

I'll pass 03-wink

The OP sounds like another typical rant instead of any meaningful. They already know that they need a trainer and a good one at that and they are working on it. These things don't happen over night

Patience grasshopper. Grant already addressed the situation this morning with his article. Pastner knows what he is doing.

Pastner said from that day that he wouldn't hire anyone until after the season. The season has been over for a week.

I stole this off the internet somewhere, I was impressed! Joe Jackson if you were wondering.

No, you are being impatient. The timeline was set and has been met at this point. Pastner has a track record of bringing in good people...why don't we give him a chance to do that?
