He got so angry at the starters that he threw everybody out of practice and for us it was exciting because we're just like , OK , we're really killing these guys right now and we're really preparing them , we're getting better . So for the next practice those guys were ready to go and it was a little bit more of a battle the next day . The atmosphere is always great at creating games our team .
So usually , um , the way I think most teams run in college basketball is that you have the rotation guys which is usually like 1 through 77 guys who are gonna play the majority of the minutes throughout the game . And then kind of the guys at the end of the bench are take on the scout team roles which is preparing um . The actions and the defensive schemes that the opposing team's gonna run against us , so you know that's goes , you know , you got , you have to memorize 20 plays , for example , that's a high level offensive team like the other day we played Nebraska they had like 1819 plays that we had to remember and um you know act out on the court to prepare our rotation guys so that's kind of things that we do um it is a pretty tall task like I said .
You gotta focus on your yourself you gotta focus on what you you do best and what your weaknesses are and everything else will fall in place . So developing yourself and really focusing on your personal development , your athleticism , your conditioning , your shooting ability . Um , taking your daily vitamins , what it means form shooting , ball handling , all those little things will get , get you where you wanna go , um , but if you are constantly worrying about , OK , how am I gonna get there , uh , I wanna do this , this guy is getting an offer here .
The actions and the defensive schemes that the opposing team's gonna run against us , so you know that's goes , you know , you got , you have to memorize 20 plays , for example , that's a high level offensive team like the other day we played Nebraska they had like 1819 plays that we had to remember and um you know act out on the court to prepare our rotation guys so that's kind of things that we do um it is a pretty tall task like I said . Um , but you know it's , it's really fun and it gets you better , um , yeah , so we watch , we watch film , um , of the team , the opposing team , right , and then we have to go 30 minutes before practice , 45 minutes before practice , and run through the opposing team's plays to prepare for , you know , the for the actual practice where we run them against the team we scrimmage as if we are the opposing team , um , against , uh , the rotation guys and it's really fun , especially when you have like a role like a . Um , like a Colin Gillespie is always one of my favorites to run , um , just because he shoots so many threes , so I had the green light that day and running off screens and , you know , yeah , and I feel like that's really developed my game as well because sometimes I have to go crash , sometimes my personnel is go crash the glass , rebound , play super hard , rake rake in the gap , uh , try to get steals sometimes it's just like , OK , he's a softer defender , so give him , uh , he plays a little bit softer , um .
I think this is the first NIL event NIL basketball tournament there's ever been . I think the most important thing is focusing on yourself , um , you know , you could think you could , you could look at it like , OK , I wanna play at this school , I wanna play at that school . The the extrinsic rewards of basketball will come .
