  2. Coach Mike Woodson Megathread

    I've been sending money to IU every month since I graduated. I finally put a stop to it this morning. COMPLETE CLOWN SHOW. 

    Give Brad a blank check. 

    If he says no. Then just hire Pearl. Woodson is an absolute joke. Least amount of IU Basketball Ive watched in over 20 years. Does Dolson have any balls? I doubt it. He should go as well. 

    Who's Brad?

  3. Is it Woodson or the Players?

    A combination of both.

    The coach stinks and the players he recruited neither play hard or smart. 

    That's never a winning combination. 

    The amount of hustle compared to Northwestern was so stark in contrast it was embarrassing.  My 5 year old asked why Indiana isn't very good at basketball.  I said, they don't pass, they don't move, they don't block out.  Simple stuff he's about to learn at the ymca.  The same stuff every kid learns in pe class as an elementary kid in Indiana.   It's baffling.  We make basketball look hard.

    Just curious to see what everybody thinks...

    IF our starting line-up next year consists of....

    Malik
    Mgbako
    McNeely
    Gallo
    high end PG transfer

    On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you that we will run something that resembles more of a 4 out 1 in scheme? 

    I think I'm at a 4.

     

    Nah, zero%.  Now if Bako and and Reneau keep making big improvements,  which I think they will, it can work.  They just have to be willing to play defense and be held accountable if they aren't.

    Is there an actual emissions law that rates the level of emissions to the size of  a vehicle? According to my sources, its easier for manufacturers to build a bigger heavier vehicle (Big SUV's) than reduce emissions, which then "force's" (some say incentivize) Merikans' to complain about the size of vehicle... 4x4's as an example.

    2 unintended points means nothing

    3 points means a progression, statistically.

    4 points means...................................... there's a pattern. The american gov causes bigger vehicles. .. while forcing electric.. hmmmm

    This started with the question, as a simple trades person, why can't I buy a simple 2 seat truck, on the cheap? I don' need my horoscope, the temp or direction I'm traveling. I need a down scale 1974 work truck, and I can not buy it. Well we now know why. I'm being protected from myself by others that know more about what I need than I do. I'm not OK with that.  

    You have to go to the truck outlets.  There is one on the north side of Indy, 465 and Michigan rd on the nw corner.  I think Chevy gm products.  You can still get the work truck with the plastic like interior and steel wheels.  I was looking at them, actually back in 18 so things may have changed.

    Well it doesn’t hurt that Schertz and ISU have been laying eggs against massively inferior opponents and is coaching ISU out of the tournament, Pearl got ran out of his own gym by UK, and Beard and ol miss is also on the bubble. So woody isn’t alone in underperforming lately.

    C college basketball is crazy.   Auburn beat the #12 team by like 41 earlier in the week.  And Kentucky has been unraveling losing like 4 out of 5.

    That’s actually not true. MM projects to be really good next year regardless of if he is at the 3 or 4. He’s one of the best FR in the B1G. That said the team would likely be better if he’s at the 4. The problem with that is Reneau. Not MM. Reneau wants to be the 4 last I heard. 

    I'm fine with Reneau being a 4 if he trims his fat the same percentage drop he did last season and he starts guarding at an elite level.  

    He should be modeling his game and body to at least look like college Blake Griffin.  He has the build.  Obviously not the hops but man, if he gets that fat completely off and takes one more big jump.  He's a legit POY contender.  Does he realize that?

    Let's say Reneau gets 32, almost all at the 4.  Maybe 5 as the 5.  Bako gets 13 minutes as the 4 and another 19 at the 3.  McNeeley gets 21 at 3 and 9 as a 2.  It can work.  Problem being, who plays the 5 the other 35 minutes.   Can't be Sparks as is.

    People don’t have to gauge things with Banks and Gunn. They’re almost certainly leaving. Reneau is who was being reached out to but I don’t think things went too far. It’s sounding like MM could be back. I still believe Galloway is back as well. 

    I'm still of the belief that with our NIL and clear need of guard minutes, this ship could be righted very quickly.  Galloway is a very good ball player.  Put scorers around him, doesn't matter 5th man or 6th man, same difference.  MM will grow up.  Reneau will contender for player of the year.  McNeeley can ball.  Can do it all.  Just don't try and force him at the 2, MM at the 3, and Reneau at the 4.  Grab some speed, some scoring, and some shooting.  Get back to preaching defense and rebounding.  Be about toughness and business, not instagram and Twitter takes.

  19. IU unveils its alternative jersey

    in General Basketball Discussion

    Posted · Edited by NotIThatLives

    So i took a second and closer look this morning with my wife.  Quite the good laugh in twitter.  

    Anyways.  The presentation is for shock.  I think the model might be a female and also has a long black beard.  If you just focus on the jersey, which one poster likened to a ymca practice jersey, they might not be that bad.

    Not a fan of how they're trying to push the G-League in this Rising Stars game. 

    Having a G-League Team in this takes opportunity away from rookies and "sophomores" that are actually in the NBA. 

    Mathurin punked Ivey, who they were trying to call Indiana's kid.  Lol yeah right.  Indiana's step kid.  Purdue doesn't even like him.
