Sal Alosi (New S&C Coach?)

[UConnNick]

Sal Alosi - "UConn’s basketball history precedes itself."

Well, if we can't overpower 'em with our newfound strength and conditioning, at least we'll be able to baffle 'em with our bu115hit.

This one comes close to qualifying as a Yogi Berra-ism.

Welcome to Husky Nation, Sal!

No more strength and conditioning. He's our Human Performance Coach.
Good thing we only recruit human players.
But all this talk of diet and sleep patterns and stuff kind of brings to mind the guy that came from a ̶b̶a̶l̶l̶e̶t̶ gymnastics program and stressed stuff other than you know, strength.

Love this hire. No, this guy is completely different. He's a psycho, the kids will actually be lifting weights.

Didn't quite stick the landing. S/b of? Edit it and I'll delete this one.

Thanks obviously what I meant and can hardly blame that one on Mac like usual.

 

[nomar]

He made a mistake 8 years ago. And the stuff with Combs doesn't particularly bother me.

I like it.

 

[HawkHusky]

Our bigs need a football guy. Great hire.

Men's Basketball Adds Sal Alosi To Staff
Alosi explained that his plans for the UConn program go far beyond just strength and conditioning.

“We will build a 24-hour wellness program, where the time spent off the court and out of the weight room will be emphasized just as much as the time spent training,” he said. “We will be educating our team about how to eat, how to sleep, how to hydrate, how to recover -- establishing a game plan in all areas that can have a positive impact when it comes to on-court performance. There is a much greater commitment than just running and lifting. Ultimately, the tools we teach our players here will benefit them on and off the court, and long after their time at UConn.”

It's all about nutrition and supplements. He plans on fresh paint in the weight room also.

The Sal Alosi You Don't Know
"Sal had very little patience. When he gave you instructions, you wanted to follow them," Bernstein said. "He also had that Long Island sense of humor. He's brash. He's sarcastic. He's straightforward. He'll tell you when you're out of shape or bringing a s h ¡ t effort."

How can you not love this hire?

It's amazing how lame some of these attempts at humor are.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Lol at people who think a former football coach won’t stress weights.

 

[CL82]

Can't really quantify why, but I feel like the energy level at all the coaching positions has gone up a few notches. That alone has value and should translate to the court.

Just a feeling from the quotes as people come on board.

 

[HuskyAlum012]

I love how every time we hire a new S&C coach, whether its football or basketball, everyone is up in arms about how great the hire is. Then the second we hire a new coach for that sport, their first reaction is "These kids need better conditioning", "These seniors look like freshman", "Their diets are horrible", etc, etc, etc. I will believe its a good hire once I finally start seeing some results.

Good thing we have the funny police on ever vigilant watch.

 

[UconnU]

Great hire!

 

[Cuse Socks]

Pretty sure we’ve said the last two strength coaches are gonna turn things around. Won’t believe the hype until I see results. That being said I like he hire

Carlos Daniel would have I bet, but he left after two months on the job. Really wish we could have gotten some more background info on why he up and left so quickly.

The "trip" jokes suck but at least make it topical if you're going that route. We have a Tripp Doherty on our staff, that would work a little better than Jack Tripper and Monica's stained dress. Be better.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Heard he hit Sean Combs so hard he changed his name again

I'm sure you're right. Droning on and on about what is or isn't funny is a much better contribution to the thread.
