One coach had a plan, the other coach had a plan to set the screen right at the point where the first coach had instructed his team to foul. Seems like a coaching decision...not execution. Dixon was one step ahead of Prohm, Prohm never expected a screen there, he ignorantly thought they'd just let us foul them.
Oh yeah. So did you give up on the season at that point, or were you gonna hold out for t'nite?
Much better tonight, good effort which is all I want to see from here on our. Prohm struggles to get his teams to play hard every night so just seeing that the rest of the year is important to me. This team is going nowhere so after accepting that I just want to see guys playing hard.
He should have fouled much earlier, played certain guys too much, but whatever. It’s a really limited team overall. A great coach would get this team in the tourney with Halliburton alone but steve just isn’t there yet at this point in his career.
I thought conditt was fantastic. Why it took this long to get him more minutes I have no idea.
It was two below average teams with one great player. K state, ou, Texas, ok state, Tcu...all average at best teams...lot out there so will be a lot of these close ones.

Dixon might be the greatest coach in history to draw up a screen to bank in a near half court 3. He's such a great coach I am surprised he's even in that situation.
Yep, I pretty much gave up. Tonight was stress free. Buckle up, this are going to get ugly Wednesday.
That went 100% how he planned, sorry this stuff goes over your head.
This can’t be where we are at already... as long as they try hard? Yikes
It's easy to coach when your opponent's coach is predictable.
Yes but the players not getting to what the coach wanted happens more than you'd think. I can guarantee it.
There's a story from the 2001 Nebraska/ISU game in Lincoln where Larry drew up some play at the end, and Jamal gathered the guys out in the court and said something like 'I don't know what the **** he just said, but this is what we're going to do' and then he hit Martin Rancik for a game winner.
Loyal Son Forever True....even after 44-years of NuttCup punches; that would bring most men to their knees
I know this is going to be a witch hunt but here's my question on the end of regulation. If I'm Conditt guarding a guy shooting 35% from the line. When he sets a pick at half court I blow the screener up from the side before the ball handler ever gets there.
FBCurt heard the same post game and had a completely different take. I've always trusted his posts over many others on here... No reason for me to change my view.
Disappointed in the loss, but have to say that Tyrese and George are awesome! Bolton and Nixon are quality starters. We’re one THT from being amazing.
Well I shouldn't have said on the in bound, that was more hyperbole. I guess I should have had a drink before I posted. But I certainly wouldn't have waited until half court. As soon as they started dribbling we should have been fouling.
And yes, I know that Prohm did call for a foul, but it seems he got outcoached by Dixon once again.
Larry Sucks! Fire Larry.
I think Larry's plan for the 99-00 team. Hi-low, get it to Marcus often, everyone look to drive to the hoop and get open if you don't have the ball.
Run plays 1 or 2 occasionally.
Defense: stay with your guy, don't let him do ANYTHING or you're sleeping outside.
'Break!'
Obviously exaggerated but having the players makes a difference.
Hollywood Higgins clearly used review to award TCU the ball after seeing the blatant foul.
