Pay close attention, you'll see him in the background of a few of the later practice scenes!
One of the extras (a local basketball player that is filling out the team) banged up his knee and spent the rest of the day on the sidelines with an ice-pack on it. The first player in each line would then have to dive for the ball, wrestle it away and get up and dribble.
Then Coach Knight would toss the ball to the floor at around the free throw line. The team is split into two lines on either side of the key, behind the baseline. Knight gives him a withering stare that could peel paint from the wall.Īfter shooting the passing drill, we did a loose ball drill. On this day, Todd Jadlow, a 6'9" center/forward made the mistake of stealing one of Coach Knight's passes. As a Hoosier would get open for a brief moment, Knight would then snap the ball to them. Players would move around the court, weaving through the key. He's been known to hurt guys with the power of these passes. He liked to get on the court and snap the ball to players as they would try to get open off a screen. Knight is famous for demonstrating passing to his players. We started with Knight running passing drills and loose ball drills. As described in John Feinstein's A SEASON ON THE BRINK, Knight frequently lost his temper with the players at practices. It was a chance to see a bit more of the well-known Knight rage. We shot a number of the IU basketball practices and scrimmages today. Today, we returned to the Winnipeg Arena, which has been transformed into Assembly Hall. Winnipeg, Manitoba - It's Tuesday of our second week of shooting in Winnipeg.
