IU Scott Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I don't think this team will ever learn how to play perimeter defense. One thing I don't understand about coaches not willing to change their philosophy to meet their players strengths. It is obvious these players has no clue how to play this defense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t argue against that. And I feel there’s enough talent on this team to be at least better so I sure hope we get there. If this team and its talent finishes say 7-8th in conference that is straight up a failure of a season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHumanity Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Communication on ball screens needs some help. Wish Woody would use the Ralph Miller approach to ball screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Does our team watch film? Literally the same issues every game and have yet to get better at any of those aspects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodson and others saying it is too much to expect MM to be a stud as a freshman, but most 5 stars are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Coach Woodson is less than pleased giving up 40 in a half... he should try coaching defense then 🤷 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Roster construction is getting exposed and will continue to. Can’t have a bunch of guys who can play the 4/5 and then have little to no one who can create or shoot at the 1/2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUJoe Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Just my opinion…used to enjoy Robbie Hummel, but he seems to have turned into Jay Bilas/Dan Dakich. Turned the sound off and turned on Don. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Maybe we should just go zone again so we don't have players getting lost on screens. Also it always seems when we get going and get up 5 or 6 this team relaxed and can't extend the lead but loses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyHoosier Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Get out and run, play some press, see what happens.

NCHoosier32 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 let's be honest, we're playing a minimum of 12 games that should be tougher than this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
