Coach Nate Schmidt

I think the inconsistency is most frustrating. We’ve had some really good out of bounds plays after timeouts, but then when we need a good play or good offense we just absolute fail and fall apart
 
I really like TJ, but he’s too much like Campbell and will refuse to fire his buddies on the staff. I’m fine with Nate being on the staff recruiting, but I think we should probably give someone else the reigns on offense.
John Mike Bobby Wooden Krzyzewski Knight great insight!l!! I think TJ should hire you to run the offense. We are 21-3 and ranked 5th in the country!!! You don’t get there by having bad coaches running a bad offense!!! Always look for the negatives!! Keep up the good work
 
Where is the poise from this team. Seems like they really thought they had the game up 5 with 3 to play. Gotta finish. The play to Milan out of the TO was so telegraphed. Our two buckets to a cutting Heise to get the lead back was telling. TCU was overpaying and we draw the obvious flair screen play to Milan.

Can we get a big to just take the ball up, no shot fake no move, get the pass, drop step and layup of Dunk. 2 maybe 3 possessions in a row, Buchanan, Plata and Jefferson get swated.
Just take it up no hesitation.

This team when on can win the Title. When off can lose to a 16 seed.

If you take away points off turnovers and Milan going nuclear, this is a bad offense.. really sad coach Schmidt is dragging TJ's program down
I hope this was sarcasm. Because if you take the good things a team does away from ANY team then they will struggle. We won 21 games by turning teams over and by having the best shooter in the country. It’s not a fluke, it’s who we are

Last year's group was similar but this is sometimes how their possessions looks when they still have 20 seconds on the shot clock.

I don’t really like the insistent trying to make Jefferson a point guard. He just dribbles into double teams and gets stripped 90% of the time. Hes at his best on the block and making passes because the double team comes. We desperately need to find ways to get Milan open more. Need more consistency from the bench because that’s gonna determine how far we go. Overall I don’t think Nate has the genius to take a team the distance, he’s ok but not limited

True. I was a little frustrated with the effort tonight. I felt in those last 4 minutes after we go up by 5 that the just kinda stopped playing smart basketball. They thought they had it won and played maybe the sloppiest I have seen them down the stretch since we'll the game before Baylor. They have to clean up the end of games. Gonna be an early out if we only play 37 or 38 minutes.

Having Torre bringing the ball up court in crunch time was stupid. Ball should be in Tamin's hands!!!!!!

Meh. Lipsey handing off to someone for a 30 footer is an awesome play/ his throw away to tcu when down by 3 was the game ender.

TCU had that play scouted and knew it was coming...Not one of our staff's better games. All got to be better come Saturday.

I was talking about Torre bringing the ball up court and throwing it into the crowd for a TO right before we lost the lead for good,

Never been a good half court team offensively, never will be, just not what ISU does


That’s the whole point of this thread. If he is the offensive coordinator why are the half court sets not better. Milan should a crap ton of plays designed to
Either let him shoot th three
Or back a smaller guard down and hit his fade away. Out half court sets are terrible
