Billy Gillispie/Texas Tech

I never read he held 16 hour workouts. If he did that would be criminal unless a vast majority of it was eating, sleeping, stretching and watching tapes! I can't imagine working out for 16 hours within 2 days. MJ use to do 8 hours a day during the off season but that would include stretching, massages, weight training, cardio and perfecting his game. 16 hours???

This was mentioned in the CBS Sportsline link that DC posted in the second post of this thread:

"We used to go more than four hours all the time," added Nash, who transferred to North Dakota after last season. "I remember that day when we went almost all day. We didn't leave until 9 p.m. or so. It was pretty bad. A lot of guys were really hurt after it. One guy had a stress fracture in both legs."

And then there was this gem:

"If you were hurt, he told you that you had to stay in the training room all day -- from 6 or 7 in the morning until 10 at night," Wagner said. "Stay in there and get treatment over and over and over. We couldn't leave. My mom had to come and bring me food."

Doing the math, 6 in the morning until 10 at night equals 16 hours. Not good if they intend on staying healthy the rest of their lives.

It's an interesting read that shows why so many people despise this guy. I can't see him coming back to Texas Tech, but who knows how desperate the administration is down there.
