i also don't understand why we can't shoot 80%+ from the FT

They aren't. Just my opinion. I like my big's shooting mid range shots with the ability to use both hands around the rim. In my opinion, if you have guards and wings who can shoot 38%+ then you won't have anyone clogging up the lane, they have to respect your shooters, which leads to you big guy with more room to move around the rim. Along with wings having the ability to drive the baseline.

I would rather have guards and wings who can shoot and hit 3 pointers. That would open the lane more than if we have 1 big who can occasionally shoot a 3.

But can he hedge out 35' and recover back to the basket quickly enough. , I kid i kid. Great pickup. We need 4 year role players with heart and motor

Depends on who you are reading. There are alot of those who don't want to lay anything at his feet and there are those who want to blame him for it raining outside. I just think we need to put blame where blame belongs. Doesn't mean we don't want him to succeed or we want the man fired. It just means we want accountability and ownership Just my thoughts though

Not saying you're wrong. Not saying even if we win less games next year but play with passion and fire that CAM will be given a reprieve. I am saying we keep finding ways to keep excuse everything wrong with this team without laying any at the coaches feet. He needs 5 years. He needs to get rid of CTC's players. He needs players that fit his system. He needs players who have drive and passion. Then we will turn around and when these 3 freshman play like freshman and don't bring what everyone wants, we will say, oh they are freshman, they need time to mature and learn the offense. He needs more years to get his culture here. He has only been through one full recruiting cycle. We will go a long way to make an excuse for every reason other than maybe the coach is in over his heard in the deep end of the pool. I am not saying he is or he isn't. But i am done making excuses for him. Good coaches can coach. They can make adjustments. They can discipline their guys while inspiring them. They can adjust their game plan or offense/defense scheme to maximize the talent they have on the floor. They make good decision and stand by them. They do what they say and you see the results, good or bad. At the end of the day, CAM is top guy. The one getting paid. The one who makes all the decisions. Who is accountable for what people are paying for. And if people stop paying for these results, you will see something happen. Start looking at the upper decks if we lose tonight. That will tell you how invested the fan base is. See how many leave early. Listen for boos or if the place just cannot get as loud as it usually is. Who cares what we say on here. Watch the game and the crowd. That right there will tell all you need to know about the fan base Sorry for rambling. I just want to be better. I want to talk about IU with pride again and not have to make excuses about why we do "X". Go Hoosier!!

unfortunately it better translate immediately into an upward trajectory. If it take every class 3/4 years to reach their potential with CAM he won't make it out of his 5th year. Expecting 3 freshman who are not top 50 players to come in and impact immediately, we might be setting our selves up for disappointment

I agree, the kid gets off the floor quick on putback and dunks. I am just surprised he takes as long as he does when taking a jumpshot. I really like this kid and think he is going to be a terror for us

He has a really slow set and release on his jump shots. He will need to improve his release. Looks good though. Like his upside

We should go after the best candidates for the team, regardless of rank or state. If the best 5 who fit our team are 5 stars, go after them, and the next 5 who fit the team and then the 5 after that. You don't have to only have Indiana kids or 3-4 year kids or one and done kids. Its all about who is the best for your type of play and who buys into your plan and who fits the school. Winning cures everything. No one will care if every player on the team was from New Zealand if we won a NC with them.

I have cut the cable about 3 times. Once to Sling, then to DirecTV Now, then back to Sling. Youtube looks interesting nad if i can get my local channels live, i will cut it again over the summer

It was the last time i had it. They must have dropped them. That sucks. DirectTV Now is ok. I have not tried the new YouTube tv but it has BTN

I have tried them all and personally i like Sling the best.

Just use the term Active Shooter. Pretty much everyone knows what that means these days, as sad as that is.
