Yes that’s it. Thanks SF Couldn’t see that slight, horrible, unimaginable really really hard foul from our spot. I’m going to have to watch the full game an additional 2 times now to my already 42 times I promised to watch for coach. Man this basketball thing is complicated 😀
The video is mind boggling .. CoC game crazy foul on the 3pt shot was a huge deal too unfortunately.
Probably not...that one is relegated to the black hole that is FloHoops.
yeah I was sitting behind Spiders bench so a good ways away from the play ... love Grant but the technical at Drake and this play will be unfortunate live game memories that I will always remember.
We clearly were not supposed to foul there and Goose messed up. It was foul, ref got it right, Goose just made an error.
Are you saying we didn't bring Roche in near the end of the game to be a decoy so Bigelow & Nelson could take 3s?
The offense is not designed to have Quinn on the low blocks most of the time rather than on the foul line, at the top of the key, or on the wing. The guards have not been taught or coached to throw high lobs to Quinn when he somehow manages to stumble down to the low blocks. Quinn had eight points in the first half and his last basket three minutes into the second half. I don't know how many shots he had after that but it wasn't many. I think if the millionaire could figure out how to get Quinn down low more often and get the others to get him the ball, things would open up more outside. I find it very interesting that the focus is on making threes instead of looking for shots around the foul line or a couple of steps inside the three point line. If these changes could be made now I think it would help this year's team and next year's team quite a bit. I will, however, not hold my breath.
You said getting the ball to Quinn would get us open looks, but we have had plenty of open looks. Also, Quinn doesn’t always get doubled and doesn't always beat his guy 1 on 1. 16+ footers and shots just inside the 3 line are the worst shots you can possibly take. I don't know too many offenses that would design plays to get these shots.
bro, vt & I have debated as much as anyone. But I do think he knows hoops, he's just tethered to Mooney for whatever reason imo. But what he's right about, is the personal attacks actually come from u. The "watch more basketball" u have used on me too. That's where it came from. & now u bring more of them here. But u get away with it because u have a son on team and r protected by Spiders05 who will delete & edit your posts when u rant uncontrollably. u know this is a fact. I'm sure now that Dji started last night Mooney u now respect again lol.
For the record, I wholeheartedly signed on the petition last year. Would sign, help draft one this year, gleefully at any time if I thought it would make a difference. Second, petition itself didn't have nasty comments, folks who signed could add comments and some of them may have been nasty, not sure, but petition itself was very professional and very factual.
devil's advocate ... if you're Schmidt and Quinn has 8 points in the 1st half and Spiders are throwing up bricks, aren't you going to do exactly what Schmidt did and sag a little making it harder to feed any post and force us to shoot 3's?
and this is why he's struggling in conference. he's much more effective being a component of a multi-pronged offense than being the only threat.
You can just leave it like this. I feel like I could write an entire dissertation on this question.
"Also Dji played well" - I appreciate the love Coach! I need to get back to this game film though...this basketball thing is tough. I don't know how some of y'all do it.
Yep--same play. Not really enough strength to affect anything, but pretty obvious shirt pull. Watching live, it was my "WTF are you doing Goose????" moment that I have every game. Sometimes it's a ridiculous tap on a guy that is in the middle of a dunk to give up a three point play (probably the most common), sometimes it is fouling a three point shooter, sometimes it is missing a wide open layup, sometimes it is an awful, awful turnover, but it is at least one a game.
And if you don't have the needed shooters to run your offense, you need to change your system to fit the roster. Coaching 101.
" The guards have not been taught or coached to throw high lobs to Quinn when he somehow manages to stumble down to the low blocks."
Agreed only saw second half, thought Dji was a bit passive at times. He started as our PG and espicially because our SG is Goose, we need our PG to be looking for his shot more than Dji did. Realize it was his first start and extended play, but just be looking for your shot or opportunities to get to the rack more next game.
Def feel that...I do think the fouls took away some aggressiveness. I can say this w/o any doubt that it was great to see Dji be Dji for the most part and NOT get yanked 2-3 min in. He's just not an effective guy if that happens. But are there really any? He wasn't perfect but clearly anyone can see his ability to help this team if given an opportunity and he was and he did. That TO although dare I say "bad" he was trying to make something happen so I can live with 1 or 2 like that, but that would be it. At the end of the day he doesn't have a ton of court/time experience regardless of how many min he has played to this point. If he remains, I believe we see him get better each game, at least that's my prayer and hope. Also, Gilly sent him a really awesome message after the game that was 1st class.
love to hear that. we definitely have guys who stay emotionally invested after they leave. I think that's important for the program.
Ohhh assuming you are 😂 you know what they say right? I’m the one on here and Twitter and all social media with the real identity my guy…remember that… as well as you are the one that follows me 🫠. Never asked admin to delete anything coach. And before you fire off another 20 posts trying to come for me, at the very least get your facts together. In my AP classes we call that facts based research or evidence based research, you should try it.
The moderators job is keep decorum on this board. The petition was an online petition and don't think anyone could control the comments upon it. Yeah, the comments were probably heated because people are passionate about our program and were tired of it being led by a man who many of us feel is not up the task and further that as fans/alumni that our voices are constantly ignored.
