Title: For those on VQ there is a good article on DK and Rod Clark Post by: PirateVOL on March 11, 2024, 02:44:28 EDT It really is more on Clark but it gives a glimpse of what it takes to evaluate players
It also gives a glimpse of the relationship between Clark and DK For those that arrive early for games they see it every game About 90 min before tip Clark and DK come out for a workout It usually goes like this: Free Throws, at least 25 (I've seen him hit all 25) Then he and Clark work on specific things, like fighting off screens. Sometimes they have another manager help as well. Ususally leads to 2nd level jump shots Then he works on step in threes from long ranges, usually on the wings (his three from Farragut in the 1st half vs KY was a good 3 feet longer than he practiced) Then he works on threes around the arc, corner to corner Saturday he added side steps (both ways) to the shot Then a few inside moves, then more FTs Always walks off after a made 3 - these workouts, pregame, and at the buzzer before a half (ZZ and SV are the same) Clark is in his ear the entire workout There is a method and a purpose to the workout, seen the results in games It is said the DK and Shack went after it 1v1 for 2 hours on his visit 2 things came out of that workout: Shack told the staff he is the real deal DK understood that coming to Tennessee would elevate his game The rest is history |
