CTC was manic! we'd play 11-12 guys in close games and sit guys way too long. I just don't like having a set time for subs and not looking at what is happening on the court. That comes from the NBA and never understood that type of subbing. I use to yell at McMillian with the Pacers because he would lose some games at the start of the 4th quarter. He would wait until about 6 minutes to go in the game before bring his starters back and the other team wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Cannon Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 1 minute ago, IUFLA said: Yes, the ones who transferred were looking for more playing time... particularly Jake and Clifton... And didn't he bring in Joey Brunk? I personally think Joey's injury alone has changed this season quite a bit. If we have him, we CAN play 2 bigs and Jerome together. The way it is now, we can't because Jerome is our only front court depth beside a 6'6 freshman... There’s always a new excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point but think we were pretty good when we won the Big Ten in ‘12-‘13 and ‘15-‘16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are but I have not seen anything this year that guarantees they will be great. Scott! it's like we are one! i hate to say it because everyone seems so high on them, but aren't they all role players other than hopefully Lander and so far he has not been good at all.

Probably could say 5 years since 95 can be called a really good season. One of them was from a cheating scumbag and was ruined by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me in the future if Leal and Galloway are starters then we are in trouble. Those two should be two glue guys who come off the bench for a very good team.

Miller isn't as bad as most in my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosier_exotics Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Personally I think Arch is a good coach... Overly loyal to his players, which in the end will probably cost him his job. I think he's held onto the belief that rob and Al will turn the corner. To me its not about lack of development, it's just two players that have topped out. They are who they are. And they are just good enough to get a coach fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hit a couple of 3's early I knew it was going to be great game and didn't want to come out until I was just to tired or my momentum ended.

Hos worst trait is his stubbornness and not willing to change his philosophy. The best coaches adjust to their players strengths and not try to implement their system no matter what. Everyone talks about Scott Drew and at one time he was mainly a matchup zone coach but he changed to a man to man and now their defense is one of the best in the country. Like I said his out of bounds plays are good and out of time outs are good. The problem is that we have limited timeouts and can't just take the ball out of bounds under our basket on every play.

I am also not blind so I can see that after 4 years his teams has not improved to get us at least in the top 5 of the conference. I love the tournament no matter what but is is funnier when IU is in it and never root for them not to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all watch a ton of basketball, and 95% of all the teams look about the same from a scheme standpoint. who is on the floor playing, makes the coaches look great or mediocre...

Yet you overlook all of the obstacles...the upper classmen in his first 3 years that, beside Juwan, couldn't have led a pack of ants to a picnic. As I said, OUR Ayo is in his second NBA season. We've had injuries and transfers. These are not excuses. They're facts. Couple that with the B1G being ultra tough 2 years in a row, and it's pretty easy to see... So, do YOU think Brunk's injury had any relevance to this season? It came so late in the preseason how could we have compensated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny other teams can over come some obstacles and still win. OSU lost 2 of their top players from last in year in the Wesson brothers but seem to over come it. I think Brunk would have made a slight difference but not enough to think we would be in the top of the league. I remember coming into the season people saying that Brunk minutes needs to go way down and now he is the savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 One thing that is worth noting. Izzo made a statement with some changes to his starting lineup. It appears to have made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look again because I said I don't think Brunk would have made much of a difference in this season. People was hoping his minutes get reduced to about 10 minutes a game and I don't think we would be in the top of the league with him. Funny how now he is not playing he is the savior of this team. The reason we are not winning is Archie's lack of recruiting top guards and that is on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
