Wake Hoops 2019-2020

Would any other program in the country refer to playing as "the grind"?

It's a different connotation than I think you're thinking of. It's not a grind as in a hard thing you don't want to do. It's a grind as in grinding, working hard toward a desired goal. Not sure if that makes sense but there's a distinction.

I "get" it. Could we produce a similar video summarizing the past 5 years? Does anyone listen or care about how hard we work to support this creep show? Better yet, this embarrassment?

Seems like that selection of what to show from practice represents Manning’s philosophy. They just have to hit shots.

To regular people, "the grind" refers to something that is long and drawn out, and is unpleasant and not fun. It is a perfect description of Wake Forest basketball.
 
“Regular people?” Geez.
 
I am resolving to say nothing more about Wellman, so I have nothing to add to this thread beyond the observation, which is obvious, that this will be another very bad year.

There are some great coffee shops with variations of the name “The Grind”
 
Makes me sick to my stomach watching those practice videos knowing full well we could have landed Oates. Danny's practice looks like a fucking middle School practice
 
WFU basketball practice looks identical to what every team does at the ten minute warmup before the game.
 
Guys relax. Those videos were from last year. I'm sure Danny will have the team hitting on all cylinders this time around for summer practice.
 
Sendek used to call it "chopping wood."

The 30 days following those videos weren't too great for someone in the videos...
