[@dwphillips42]

I don't think people get the purpose of this drill.it forces them to run which makes them tired but they must still focus on making layup and catching with both hands.this makes u work on 3 things at once.

[@mlbmoonshots6255]

John thinks he’s smooth putting 4:20 on the clock

[@jameswalsh6654]

Smoothest in the Country!!!

[@paulthompson697]

gotta relate to the players

[@clipsedrag13]

Wow now that I know their secret I'm unstoppable. I'm taking my layup practice drill straight to the CHAMPIONSHIP

[@ryanyep1]

lol every single one of those dudes is traveling at the end of their dribble

[@b1bbscraz3y]

they usually count the first step as a gather when they stop dribbling and not travel

[@kushwizard4207]

ryanyep1 gather step

[@joskimengstrom2853]

No they don't

[@Hi_Im_Genie]

learn the rule book. it's not a travel. they never grab the ball til the very end

[@yourontheair]

my day that`s carryin

[@tlc944]

Great drill

[@avramibarasch2326]

wow that's an amazing drill

[@mikemike1305]

Used to hate this drill because when the kids who couldnt use the the left hand we would always run

[@johneckerle9480]

They're travelling too with just 3/4 dribbles (KJ) 😂

[@swaggysteven1848]

John Eckerle it’s called a gather, you must have never played competitive basketball in your life

[@gregheffley2]

There's no way to not travel unless you're Giannis lol

[@YKIFWN]

Everybody saying this a bad drill. If you can’t finish in transition you not getting in the game 😂😂. No cap

[@joshhumphries5707]

Where is this full stream at?

[@reidoo]

I remember doing this in high school.Our team got like 11mins or something, it was the worstttt

[@gottgaame]

I don’t miss running

[@ferdinandvieira6066]

Interesting tactic!

[@coachbrianhuyler6306]

This drill does what exactly?

[@jaytorr6701]

4.20 on the clock. Cheeky Cal!

[@patriotrepublic8534]

A lesson for the one and done squad. Hows that workin for ya this year.

[@ohlmntt]

i am very familiar with this drill lol

[@joschakouhl6919]

Whats so special about this drill

[@kingkofi919]

Vincenzo Luvineri the dill is called perfection. It’s not perfection like perfect

[@Dat621]

Vincenzo Luvineri cardio. Fitness. Team challenges. accountability. And a great way to start practice to get the guys focused all together.

[@beesknees8296]

Nothing, we did stupid drills like this in high school. It was a good exercise but just a useless drill to make the coach feel good.

[@cdev-kz3lj]

Teaching them that new James Harden Layup Travel

[@michaelsese1485]

Real answer: It's about being efficient with your dribbles and maximising your stride

[@edgarlopez8986]

Greatness

[@AlexanderMoen]

why are they practicing traveling? Don't they still call that in college?

[@b1bbscraz3y]

usually they count the first one as a gather when they stop moving the ball, then they count the 2 steps after

[@jahmarclark6845]

Alex Moen I mean they try to prepare you for the next level 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

[@tannenramey2032]

not a travel

[@TCMixes]

It’s for conditioning

[@gloryboytaj]

You can take steps in between dribbles cause he didn’t discontinue it yet

[@captainmarvel9610]

Best overall coach in game

[@MoeDesigns]

how many layups are they required to make in that amount of time?

[@Mav0011]

MO81 there’s no requirement they just go once or twice on each side

[@Mav0011]

They’re racing the time

[@johnlock0310]

MO81 everyone has to make 1 each on the right and left

[@YvngGoat_]

Which drills give you anxiety to not fuck up in? 🤣

[@colbybeck-watts5953]

This Calimari guy looks like a pretty good coach!

[@Ghostswagg11]

In full speed they wouldn’t be traveling. It would kinda look like John wall or d rose rushing down the court to score.

[@shawnbolden2320]

Exactly. They were both coached by him.

[@AverageKDplayerorslightybelow]

Cail is the best coach of all time

[@jons5658]

Lol, ridiculous. Best recruiter of all time, maybe. A better coach would have at least 5 titles with the players he’s had. They choke almost every year.

[@noitallmanaz]

wow. as a 20 year coach myself, i am supremely impressed. With the fact he has won so many games. This is what you choose to put on a video? geez.

[@well.thy.one.]

lol

[@ldodson99]

Okay

[@bubbawatson1852]

We only hang championship banners, to now saying, na, we only want future nba players ... wheres the banners cal?

[@andydufresne2818]

Perfection is achieved thru NCAA violations ;-)

[@forgive89]

Andy Dufresne What, are you a Louisville fan? Arizona? UNCheat? Kansas? Okie State? You must be talking about them Cuz UK hasn’t had ANY violations with Calipari.....🔵⚪️ #envy #buckets #bbn

[@mattdilullo920]

Mortician_Drummer that we know of

[@lazthegreat10]

What's with the terrible dribbling

[@moniquewrites9046]

Some players are 🧳 🧭 traveling

[@ruthlesscash1929]

Do they know about carry and traveling

[@bhatchett13]

😂😂

[@07blackfx4]

Good way to condone traveling. You can still hustle without taking extra steps...

[@johneckerle9480]

No wonder he chokes in March/April - rudimentary 🏀 teach our boys an OOB's play 😂

[@joshuagavile4775]

Agreed. It shows that only exceptional type of players would perfectly fit his system. 👍🏻

[@jasonvollmuth1025]

They’re not traveling because they don’t pick the ball up until their in their two steps

[@christopherjohnson2193]

you have no idea how many of these are travels

[@Traythekiddo]

What is a duke big blue nation 🔥💯💪🏽

[@ericstevens9108]

COACH CAL, ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT COACHES IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL, NO WONDER WE GAVE HIM A LIFETIME CONTRACT..THE MAN DESERVES IT !

[@briangormley1972]

4:20 really

[@gulletstufferz]

very complex

[@thisissoulo2120]

They are traveling half the time lol

[@Messiah-pv3er]

Not the point of the drill

[@rogerbrodniak5644]

So 90% of the drill teaches "imperfect", lack of fundamentals basketball just to teach the guys to use two hands which is about 10% of the drill?

[@nothinbutms]

I do this by myself. Up the court left, down the court right. Until I make 10.

[@Riceyes]

So carrying and traveling just isn't a thing anymore?

[@jameswalsh6654]

Coach says its a drill to warm-up a running drill. Not focusing on traveling. Getting his guys hot before an intense practice!!

[@CB-ns6sy]

Holy shit that kid was traveling at the end.

[@harpauldagreat]

I love how many people don't know what a travel is lmao.

[@benoliver9429]

Yeet

[@stevez1285]

Just running full court with traveling is just perfection!

[@redeadhead4]

If this is his idea of a tough practice, I see why we lost to Seton Hall. I've seen middle schools practice with more intensity.

[@landonhawkins3615]

poor johnny he got screwed

[@colinsander704]

420!

[@leonid4781]

Who wants to have refs on practise?!? Im all in!! Im even going to donate!

[@calebbecker2332]

239:87

[@tadascibulskas1413]

Giannis would need just two

[@ramansahota1563]

lol

[@thekiddaniel7292]

Tyler heero

[@sargonian12]

Classic drill to make the weaker players constantly run.

[@nathanccole]

Everyone travelled wtf

[@Trisch.]

Wtf Johnny

[@jasonwilkin7471]

U

[@macaylahall6835]

he isn't teaching them how to travel we do this same drill at our practice and if you only have 3 dribbles to get down the court then that's what you get and they aren't trying to go over

[@eerohukka8118]

they didn't even run what's the point of this

[@kgf3279]

Literally nothing special about this guy other than the blank check to back him up

[@b1bbscraz3y]

this drill didn't get them to the final 4 or national championship lmao

[@brandonmcstay6401]

Obviously Cal knows a lot more basketball than anyone commenting but this drill I don’t see the purpose. I rather do a rebound outlet and bigs do a rim run or guard does a pull up from free throw line or 3 point line going opposite side of court. That’s a lot of fundamentals in 1 drill

[@aaronfagerstrom34]

Maybe they can finish by carrying our groceries, since that's what you're teaching. No wonder I dont watch basketball anymore

[@creydadj]

0:55 had his son as the same player but ends up being the bench warmer

[@ericstevens9108]

Cedric R his son is going to be a coach dumbass, he stopped playing in order to learn how to coach

[@derrickjames1840]

How does this teach anything? They're literally just throwing the ball out in front of them and run to grab it. Yeah thats really gonna help in a full court fastbreak with defenders on your hip.

[@ZenuxProduction]

Derrick James Less dribbles the more time on play clock and more efficient

[@jq5548]

I remember this stupid drill in highschool. Literally only teaches you how to fast break dribble and run with the ball but not how to finish nor change directions. As high school kids we couldn't run as fast so anytime someone messes up 1 suicide like wtf

[@emanuelemarchisio3818]

LeBron can do this drill with just one dribble

[@chrisdukefields9868]

I see y he only has 1 title in many years. Wasted energy

[@willowandluka5302]

These are 18-21 year olds. They have plenty of energy

[@cagonzal13]

Traveling

[@gmnboss]

Running and carrying

[@brody3549]

Travel every time

[@emceeodessa5606]

Teaching traveling and carrying...great job ya hack

[@thomassexton9990]

John year is far from perfect

[@theanswerga]

I just wanna play ball, not practice

[@ronalddixon2964]

WELL they did perfect taking a knee. Still not watching anything he does.

[@benfried7100]

Major L if you think they’re traveling

[@JaretVincent]

This didn’t age well.

[@ethanspaulding3757]

Lol Evansville oof

[@scottifypremium118]

Wasn’t so perfect against Evansville🤣🤣

[@skylander5116]

Nobody going to Kentucky anymore 🤣 it's all Duke n North Carolina now🤣

[@stupendous7848]

honestly we need to start going after the guys Virginia, Villanova, Michigan State, Gonzaga, Tx Tech, Tennessee, Purdue and so on are getting. Bc they’ll actually be committed enough to the cause to hang a banner. which is really what it’s all about if you’re a top program.

[@ericstevens9108]

Skylander your dumb, we are fixing to get Johnny JUZANG from California, a five star 6ft6 shooting guard who can shoot like Luke kennard. did at Duke, fixing to land Jalen Johnson for 2020 as well..and also probably going to get 6ft10 n'faly Dante from sunrise Christian academy in Kansas ....now what were you saying about nobody wanting to go to Kentucky?

[@jpdevron7460]

Im not a Kentucky fan and that’s not true.

[@montyjohnson2370]

What the hell. Yes they are lmao

[@mikemcgrath6150]

This guys a clown. He carries himself like hes bobby knight. He runs a minor league program there, not a legit college program.

[@joshfreeman1197]

Most overrated coach in college basketball lmao

[@thomaslibbey5694]

Sooo useless. Imagine following this guys instructions only to lose to Evansville. He was only successful because of HS recruits. Tyler Hero is an exception.

[@aChristian4RonPaul]

"Perfection" drill yet the person starting the drill at 0:53 travels. Third guy carries at 1:04. They go as slow as high school freshman. Carry at 1:07 and 1:07. Carry at 1:23 Carry at 1:34 Carry 1:42 1:43 Carry 1:50 Carry 1:54 Carry 1:56 Carry 2:04 2:05 2:06 2:08 2:09 Carry 2:13 Carry 2:23 The entire time they were SLOW and sloppy. I didn't see any resemblance of perfection.

[@cristianmendoza6301]

Pointless . Terrible with ax’s and O’s. Good with relationships and interpersonal communication

[@BostonHoops]

Not a lot of passing in this drill...2 hand passing is something they taught in the 70s...skilled players pass with 1 hand...his skill is recruiting and substitutions...watch a game and tell me when a player takes the time to make a 2 handed rebound, pivots to make a 2 handed chest pass to the point guard...*thumbs down*....this is painful...encourage creativity and athleticism which he recruits...this is old man booster speech and needs to stop.

[@BsHaDy21]

Drills like this is why you have only won 1 ship while at FluK. Scrubs

[@user-bl3nk6pn4k]

Yeet
