The time the men’s team is in the IM building is very, very limited. Like once or twice last year. The women are in there more often. But, yeah, neither team should have to practice on the same floor where 60 year old guys hoop every Tuesday.

Didn’t know that even getting time in Crisler was a problem; DOES suck. But help is on the way.

yeah… i suppose suck was a little harsh, and i get your point about the shadows and stuff but i still think any college player given the option would choose a seperate facility..

Actually, the big problem is that we don’t even get to always practice in Crisler. There are something like six teams that use Crisler, so sometimes the men’s hoops squad is stuck in the Coliseum or IM Building.

No ground broken in on the practice facility. I live in AA and go by there periodically. It is worth mentioning that the U has never met a parking lot the didn’t want to convert into a building of one kind or another. No exception here. ;)

mmccrae – last I had heard was that they are planning on starting a new facility after all the football stuff is done. In the plan that I had heard, it will be built adjacent to Crisler where the parking lot is on the East side.

Just for argument’s sale McCrae: mightn’t there be some advantages in knowing the gym inside out? Tricks of the shadows, etc.?

I know a nice practice facility is a lure for recruits, but as for ‘sucking’. . . ?

Anybody heard any new info on the practice facility? I think it would suck to have to practice in the same gym you play games in, and it would make a difference to me as a recruit. Havent been a2 for a long time so I dont if theyve started or is it still in planning? just wondering…
