I don’t think this gets talked enough about to be honest. He’s supposedly our offensive guru. But for the most part this season last few seasons our offense has looked like complete garbage as in sets and out of bounds plays. Schmidt is in full control in the huddle when drawing up the offense. I trust TJ with all my soul, but when’s enough enough for certain assistants? I’m not even trying to start ****, but it’s a valid question and discussion.

It's TJ's team in the end. I put it on him to fix the offense.

I think by offense you meant pray that Curt Jones can make some incredible shots.

This game was painful because it was a combination of the small things that win close games, that we didn't do and aren't coaches. Like:
  • 12-20 from free throws, plus a couple were front-ends.
  • We committed 18 turnovers and something like 7 on our first 10 possessions. Jefferson had 7.
  • I believe we gave up 10 offensive rebounds in the first half.
Sure coaches matter, but at some point the players have to make plays and execute. Other crazy stats that indicate we were lethargic all night:
  • Points off turnovers: OSU 24 vs. ISU 10
  • Fast break points: OSU 22 vs. ISU 9
  • Paint Points: OSU 36 vs. ISU 28 (it was OSU 18 vs. ISU 6 in the 1st Half.
The reality, this is a 6-6 team since the WVU loss. But I agree with the OP that opposing teams have figured a way to defend against our dribble dominant offense, where much of the scoring action initiates around the top of the key.

That doesn’t show what’s really going on if you actively watch our games in and out.

Well it does show that statistically our offense over the entire season up to today has been pretty good, but there is plenty room for improvement.

Now who gets the most credit for that? Coaches? Players? It’s a combination but I would say it’s mostly the players.

The offensive expectations have to be proportional to players level of talent. So how do you decide that level? Are our players top 5 offensive talent? No way. I would say you are getting offensive production that’s comparable to their talents. How can you ask for more? Well unless you pay more for more skilled/talented players.

Bottom line is you are getting what you pay for. Simple as that.

This is what I’m coming to grips with.

This team is above average-to-average against good competition. And it is shocking and maddening and sad.

I will say it is tough to watch guys pick up their dribble and get stranded on an island 8 feet behind the arc and pray someone presents a passing lane.

And that one possession towards the end where there was good drive and kickback followed by good drive and kickback...someone has to make a decision to do something eventually.
