Every coach has competencies. TJ is very good and knows his limits which is why he hired this staff. It’s a good thing.
TJ is a great coach in the sense that he's a CEO type. He delegates a lot to the assistant coaches; the coach running the offense leaves a lot to be desired
They’re both good defensively but when any team can sag off because a 4 year senior still has no jump shot is tough. I hope Toure develops one while he’s here it’s obviously too late for Lipsey. Again Lipsey is one of the greats and hustles like crazy but if could be a threat from 3 it’d be such a game changer
Correct me if I’m wrong, but early in the season we saw a lot of ball movement and slashers to the bucket. That all disappeared once conference play started. It’s like that game plan was thrown out.
Where did I say in my post that TJ sucks as a coach? I think he’s amazing at putting a roster together and recruiter and an above average in game coach. He for sure isn’t elite in-game or this team wouldn’t be laying this many turds this late in the season.
News for you and @Darius Bieber.....it still CAN BE that kind of season. Disappointing today, yep. Pathetic? No way.
How many times ISU was 3 seed under other ISU coaches? The best Johnny Orr could do was 7 seed.
Funny watching BYU get absolutely worked by UCF then WVU and we completely crumbled against them.
If that’s the case then TJ will also need to self reflect and at some point decide if a shake up is needed. I’m a terrible X and Os guy, so I’m not saying that we do or don’t. I’ll leave that debate to people that know ball better than me.
They got to 59 with meaningless shots at the end...
What it tells you is they don't get shots off turnovers, when shots are below 60 it means they did not turn the opponent over enough to be successful. Which means their shooting percentage will go down as well with less open looks or drives to the hoop.
Kind of a selffulling prophecy thing.
Trap was the difference today. Tech handled it, as most good teams do, and got wide open shots. People make a big deal about 4-5 tough shots they made. The issue is the dunks, layups, and wide open 3s. And that's what good teams are going to do with it. There is a reason it doesn't work in the nba, good players that are well coached, dice it up.
There will be no criticism of Lipsey's lack of offense. I did it 10 games in and was told you can't criticize anyone who has given 4 years to ISU and has the accolades he does. He's an all-american. He's immune from criticism so blame it on someone else
Toure 0-7 from the field, 2 rebounds, 1 assist compared to 1-6 with 0 rebounds and 0 assists from Batemon isn’t much better.
We won’t win many games against anyone in March with those numbers, no matter who starts.
Having to "up the intensity" is a coaching issue. Like I said before TJ's personality means his teams don't panic....
But his teams also don't play with urgency.
They wouldn't be if we could get an offensive rebound or learn to set screens for Milan. He needs to move more or be way off the 3 point line to draw out the defense more.
When JJ goes to the hole they all crash him in the paint. Where is the help?
Matlock is a woman now & it's streamed, so I don't know how to get it on the video scope to watch correctly.
