Did anyone else find it a little strange that Jok

stated in a post-game interview on the BTN that he works with a personal trainer who comes down from Minnesota? He said they work and watch film together. I wonder how that goes over with the Iowa staff and is it legal?

Glad his trainer came down, because he played his best game of the year. Someone mentioned maybe a trainer he worked with pre-draft. If comfortable mentioning it on camera, I'm guessing the staff knows and that it's legal (not sure why it wouldn't be.)

The staff only gets so many hours a week with the team. Not out of the ordinary at all for kids to put in time on their own, it's just not cheap.

i was wondering about that too. I guess if the staff doesn't have a problem with it, but seems strange they would go over a game plan. Wouldn't you think that's what the coaches would be doing?

Honestly, I'm surprised what it takes to be truly elite. Lebron still has his own trainers, nutritionists, shot doctors, etc on his personal payroll. The line between being a very good college player and a good NBA player is perilously thin... if you can get a (legal) edge, take it.

Jok's coach, whatever they are, wants him to succeed. Gave him a great game plan, and he's a great student as he was a great passer vs. P.U. He keeps setting up people like that and he will have a better season than Woolridge in '97. That's amazing.

I was so upset that I went outside and started building snow castles...without snow.

I guess there is always one asshole who feels the need to post.

Not the first I've heard of this. Fleming had a guy from somewhere in Missouri I think. It must be ok, and I suppose if it doesn't screw up the real coaching, no big deal.
