Yes you can take a guy and get him descent but the truly great shooters just have the touch. It's all about repetition. Like all skills some have more ability and some have more God given talent but it comes down to doing it a lot correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking the elite shooters and I doubt players like Curry ate great shooters because of a coach. Yes his father coached him up from New born on. A coach is not just the guy on the sideline. I work with lots of kids that could not throw it in the ocean and have turned them into pretty good shooters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son took the curry masterclass, fun class online. He talks about what it took going from a two hand shooter to a one hand. Because of coaching and self determination that transition, which was at a latter duration than many elite shooters helped him out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I’ll just say as a stat guy if you look at the numbers this hire doesn’t really move the needle for me. However, let’s look at recruiting first, additional transfers as a 1b, and then maybe actually see some games first next year before making a final determination. I also wonder if this hire being less flashy means this guy will stay for a few years. That has to be something worth considering as this team not only needs some new offensive blood but maybe someone that if successful might stay a year or two extra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I am amazed at the number of people who were mad about how long it took to make the "official" announcement. People sure enjoy being angry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Watching the introductory press conference. First question, he mentions how he and Coach Allen had to get to know each other. Puts to rest the ignorant criticism that Allen only hires guys he knows. DeBoer, Warren, Bell. These guys were hardly his close buddies. That criticism was always ignorant and just reflects people grasping at straws to attack Allen. The season wasn’t great. But Allen absolutely knows football and has a good football mind. He demands a certain type of personnel and he goes out and gets those guys, and better than we’ve ever done here. He also has a good mind on what schemes he can have success with on both sides of the ball. When he got Bell, he had a certain vision in mind and he executed on it. The criticism of Allen as a bumbling guy is completely stupid and ignorant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criticism of Allen as a bumbling guy is completely stupid and ignorant. I will also add, he won in the personality game. Night and day from past press conferences. Can see where he can be a positive recruiter. Said the correct statements, and was honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 The IU Athletics YouTube channel put up a video of his intro presser and spelled his first name as Wal instead of Walt in the title. 🤪 Just had to add that. It irritates me lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBODY'S getting replaced. This is a disastrous hire. Allen has verified his unwillingness to leave his comfort zone. If Dolson allows this to happen, Allen will justifiably be fired sooner than most had expected. Some owe this dude an apology. lol Pretty spot on.

Bell sucked but the poster was factually incorrect. Allen never coached with Bell prior to IU, which was his false thesis. Like in math, if you show his work, he was way off. No insight there.

DireBump Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 On 12/6/2021 at 3:23 PM, DireBump said: I hope this hire works out, but I really don't like it. I think we could have done better. UMASS was dreadful, and in each of his stops as OC the offense regressed in the 2nd year. Just not sold on this at all. Hopefully I am proved wrong. Fired in his 2nd year. Just disappointing. I want this program to succeed so bad, but this hire has always been questionable. We can do better. I don't care if they have less experience, just find me someone who year after year, has improved an offense. Don't think Rod Carey is necessarily the answer beyond this season either, but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 IU needs continuity…I’d prefer an offensive minded head coach that even if we lose some assistants can still keep things headed in the right direction. Obviously not an Andy Reid but you catch my drift. Lots of assistant coaches under him but the genius stays in the building even if the assistants get promoted elsewhere (which is what you want).

Which has always been the problem and why it would be great for Allen to work out. Who is going to stay at IU as HC after success when the big boys come calling…basically nobody unless they have ties to the state like Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
