Great story. Had no idea of his background and how he came to be Barnes' right-hand man.

Awesome read. Best S&C guy on campus, by far.

Good read.

I think (proper) S&C is too often given short shrift as compared to X's and O's and the like.

I remember reading a story with an interview with Barnes some time ago. Coach was relating how UT's coaching staff across the board in all sports helps out each program individually.

He noted that he would periodically poke his head in the men's swim teams' head coach office (Reese?) and talk conditioning.

A few months later, IIRC during Barnes' first season, Reese attended a home game in which the Horns lost, sagging late. Reese went down to talk to Barnes after the game and told him he thought Barnes was overworking the players --- they were just running out of gas during the games because their practices took too much out of them.

Barnes took corrective action, rested them, and they responded positively.

I'm sure Wright was a part of this story and acted accordingly as well.

Little things some times yield big results.

I've always worried about him leaving, but after reading that I'm not too concerned.

Yes, I worry about Wright leaving as well.

I couldn't care less if Jeff Madden left.

That was a well-written and researched story, and well worth reading.
