T. J . Has done an outstanding job since taking over. One thing he is terrible at though is in game adjustments. He and Campbell should get together so he can learn how to do this because matt is great at it. Maybe he could teach matt how to have a team peaking to start the season.

Wish I watched racing. I'm stuck with a long ass MLB season.
8 man rotation over 35 games with max effort on defense, rebounds, with offensive motion is not workable. Excessive Injuries, fatigue, mental lapses, and reserve transfers.
Thanks for all you do Rulzzz. If all our players were as consistent as you we’d still be playing. Next one will be Ireland. Will you do it at midnight Ireland time or Iowa time?
For sure ISU didn't have most athletic Team, especially at end of season. Tough way to go out for a fun Team when at their best
Momcilovic seems to try hard on defense, but his NBA potential seems harder to see with his inconsistency and lack of athleticism. Played great first half of first game, but need that again.
Iowa time
Don't disagree on the injuries take, but like in football, a good coach can scheme players open or to get opportunities & too often our approaches lack more creativity.
Hmmm...let's come back to this next fall because I don't think this is the narrative.
Re looking at the D also. These last handful of games have been Hawkeye level defense.
I’m surprisingly unaffected right now too. Part of it is as I’ve gotten older realizing it’s really not all that important. Life goes on. Part of it is also realizing that this team didn’t have a long run in it. That’s been obvious for a month. So it just kind of is what it is
You can just copy/paste this and change the names of the coaches and post this on any college sports message board (and pro too probably). Fans don’t know ****.
Agree. To play the style TJ wants to play, need at least one (preferably 2) more athletic, gritty perimeter defenders than we currently have. Over the course of a long, physical season, our current roster configuration just can’t sustain the rugged pace.
Just goes down as an entirely weird year. Now that it’s over I imagine we can all agree that:
A) Keshons injury see-saw and him not traveling with the team is bizarre.
B) Watson playing really well within his role for 3 weeks then never seeing the floor again is bizarre.
C) Nojus going from rotation guy to behind Keldemran is bizarre
Just a weird year you’d love to know the full story. Oh well. On to the portal.

Thanks Rulzzz, from all of us! You make gameday threads fun and posting more fun. We appreciate all the work and time that goes into it. It's not easy being a thread starter like you do. We take you for granted, and shouldn't.
This is what is most depressing about the end of a Cyclone athletics season.
I never liked racing, just cannot get into it. Any of it.
I used to love baseball, but that sport literally is like 6th on my fav sports list now. So long, very boring at times.
NHL is cool, especially playoffs so there is that. But I hate they completely remove fighting once playoffs start.
NBA regular season is a joke (I wouldn't care at all about it if it weren't for the plethora of Cyclones in the NBA.) Playoffs get a little interesting towards the end at least sometimes.
MLS. Eh, fun in person, but not gonna watch hardly of that on TV when EPL/La Liga/Bundesliga are so vastly superior.
Cyclone football. Cyclone basketball. Those two are the best. Once those two are over, it just feels like I'm into twiddling thumbs time with the other sports until FB is back.
Could probably ask TJ how many adjustments he makes in any given game and the answer would probably be “a lot”. The things fans don’t want to accept that adjustments don’t always work, and when they do it’s still 90% on the players making plays that may or may not be a product of those adjustments. Or the other team made an adjustment that hurt them and made us look like we made an adjustment. Just way too many variables.
Classic example is “Switch to a zone!”. 33.3% of the time it works, 33.3% it doesn’t, 33.3% of the time the other team just can’t shoot lights out forever and it happens to coincide with a switch up.
