Does Double Xp Work On Coaching Career On Ncaa 14

How many hours a week does an NBA player work during the season?

My best friend worked for the Memphis Grizzlies in player development for 2 seasons so I have spent some time with players day to day. I will give a rough sketch. There is approximately 3 games a week so each game day is a full work day. We will cap it at 10 hours. (This doesn't include flights or travel). On non game days you have walk throughs or practice 90 minute walk throughs and 120 minute practices. Let's say 2 walk throughs. 1 practice. Players also have individual workouts that they do to make sure they are in top physical condition and improve skill set. Let's limit that to 5hrs a week (it's usually more depending on caliber player) In total you're looking at a 40 hour work week. This is the very bare bones time required to be an NBA player. This does not include things that are hard to measure like medical treatments and film sessions. It also doesn't include mandatory charity events or public appearances. Nor does it include travel time, time zone changes (may play Golden State Monday and Orlando Thursday). Also, the time they spend on individuals was measured by the lowest end of the spectrum I could reason. Kobe, Lebron, Harden and superstars spend 5hrs a day 7 days a week on average. I had the opportunity to personally watch parts of Kobe's workout. We got to the gym at 11 to do some pregame setup. Lakers were having walk through. We left at 1 to run around. About 4 players were still shooting. We got back at 2:30. Kobe was the only one left. We left to get ready for the 8pm game around 4. Kobe still working at game pace. We got back to the arena around 6:15ish. Kobe was STILL shooting. At about 6:30 fans started to trickle in so he signed some autographs and headed to the locker room. If a guy works from 11-6 on game day at the age of 34 imagine what "off days" look like.

What is the difference between AA and AAA baseball?

The answer isn’t as obvious as you would think. While the minor league system in baseball is generally hierarchical — Low A is better than rookie ball, High A is better than Low A, AA is better than High A — that hierarchy splits at AA / AAA rather than continuing in sequence.Counter-intuitively, the talent level at AA is at least as good as AAA and likely slightly better than AAA.What? Why? How?In the baseball minor leagues, the most valuable assets (players) are so-called “prospects”. Having the label of prospect means the major league team that owns a player’s rights believes that player’s top-end ceiling (assuming he fully develops) is high enough to produce a major league quality player.Starting with rookie ball, players are generally matched up by age and ability. Players who succeed quickly are often pushed up to play with older and more proven players to see how they perform vs harder competition. Players who languish too long at lower levels can lose that prospect label.So players move up levels as they show they can handle each lower level, increasing the level of competition each step of the way until they get to AA. Then they typically stop at AA, because AA is the level where most of the best prospects for every team play.Why? Because AAA is where older prospects, players who are no longer prospects but still productive against minor league players, and lifelong minor league veterans (think Crash Davis from Bull Durham) play. Teams want their best young prospects to play against other teams’ top young prospects, not against the grown men of AAA who already have topped out as players and may succeed against the young prospects on veteran guile and experience.Sometimes if a top prospect stagnates at AA, you will see them promoted to AAA to see if they can get them jump started by playing against different players or getting different coaching or just getting a change of scenery.Sometimes a top AA prospect will move to AAA because the big league club thinks they are almost ready for the big leagues and just need polishing and practice rather than developmental time in AA, so it is true that you will see some top prospects in AAA. However the best prospects in baseball are usually jumping directly from AA to the majors instead of making a stop at AAA first.Among all of the levels in the minor leagues, it is generally accepted that the transition from High A into AA is the hardest one to make and represents the biggest step up in competition.

Whats your Greatest College Basketball All Alumni Team ?

UCLA Bruins

1. Lew Alcindor/Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (20 years in NBA - Hall of Fame)
2. Bill Walton (15 years in NBA - Hall of Fame)
3. Marques Johnson (13 years in NBA)
4. Reggie Miller (18 years in NBA - will be HOF in 2010)
5. Gail Goodrich (16 years in NBA - Hall of Fame)

Coach - John Wooden (Hall of Fame)

The teams listed by the others are all very good, but who could stop this team? Alcindor and Walton were the two most dominating players in NCAA history. Alcindor won the first Naismith Player of the Year Award in 1969. Walton won it in 1972, 1973 and 1974, and Johnson won it in 1977. If you try to stop the two big guys in the paint, they would kick it out to Goodrich and Miller, who were two of the best long-range shooters ever. Johnson could score from inside or outside. NOBODY could beat this team.

Edit 11/24/07 - Your Georgetown team could beat my team? These big men out of date? Nobody was tall enough? Artis Gilmore (Jacksonville) was 7'2". Tom Burleson (NC State) was 7'4". There were many, many 7 footers back then. UCLA crushed them all. You must be too young to remember. Ewing and Mourning averaged about 14 points a game back then, which led the team for the type of offense Georgetown ran. Kareem used to give Ewing problems in the NBA, and he was 15 years older! Again, NOBODY beats this team. Every computer simulation done through the years pitting great college teams against each other has UCLA winning easily.

Training for the 400m/800m?

By those times right there it seems like youd be able to break 2 minutes in the 800. ( I have no experience with the 600). I agree with the llast person's comment. you have to choose either the 400 or the 800 if your going to be very serious. The training isnt the same at all. Once I hit college you really have to sperate the 2 events. 800 runners need alot of base before indoor (cross country). 400 runners need to be with the sprinters (running short sprints with weight vests and lifting heavy in the legs in the weight room. In HS. I was a 4-8 runner I broke 50 occasionally and i ran 1:58. Coming to college i couldnt keep up running 6-10 miles a day to condition with the 800, 1500, and 3,000 runners. My time peeked at 1:54 which is really mediocre. When i focused just on the 400 after my freshman year my time progresively got shorter from 51s to my PR 2 years ago which was 47.8... Serious Workouts for the 400 change between seasons as we prepared for the NCAA championships but these are are tough workouts.
