I heard somewhere that the team is flying out of Indianapolis.
Just curious as to when they're flying out. Does anyone know?

Saw something that mentioned ccc wanting to fly out the day before so I assume sometime on friday
Cignetti said they were flying out of Indy and that he preferred to do that on Friday.
One would assume that those plans have been in the books for sometime but Cignetti's response makes me wonder.

Probably because, as CCC said, "This is a business trip, not a vacation."
He's teaching these young men to set the right priorities.
In my youth I traveled extensively for work. Up to 70% some years. I've never had a "jet lag" issue going West (spent tons of time in SF, Anaheim, Los Angeles, etc.) In fact. They were very productive trips as I'd wake up and get a great deal of work done prior to the day's agenda. A few times I spent enough time in California to get home and be a little tired.
I like the approach.
Yeah, my issue is only when flying west to east.
I was wondering if they would fly out a day early to try to get acclimated to the time change. Apparently that's not an issue. These guys are young. They can catch up on sleep on the way back if necessary.
Helps it’s a 4:30PM PT start and not something like 7PM PT — that might feel late. May not matter much with young athletes.
The pros do it all the time, basketball & football, nobody seems to make it a big deal.
Why would they go out earlier than Friday? When Indiana played at Oregon however, long ago that was, they left on Friday. They’re not going to Europe.
Cignetti being the sharp manager he is has them arriving in LA later in the day Friday so there's no time available for distractions by adventurous players. Saturday they'll be well occupied with team activities. Keep em focused, he's very sharp, experienced manager.

Next we'll be praising Cignetti for making sure his players get at least 3 healthy meals a day because he's such a sharp head coach.
We're talking some pretty basic stuff here guys. I'm pleased with what I've seen so far too, but the gushing is sort of embarrassing.

ha Exactly what I was thinking. Some grade A glazing going on now-a-days.
Ya, I've noticed you get many accolades on here. Facts are facts both about Cignetti and you.
I'm not sure what your first sentence is about or the need for a, "?".... No one asked a question.... And who's gushing over facts?
The question mark at the end of the sentence indicates that I am asking a question. Let me know if you have any other grammar needs.
I never said or implied that they had a need to go out earlier than Friday... It's clear you have a problem with reading comprehension.
Ha, what?!?! You mean to tell me Coach Cig didn’t invent air travel just for this trip?!?! LOL!
I mean, he's a smart, polished head coach.
Obviously taking care of the basics is something we are unused to.
