Doc Sadler
- Thread starter JY07
- Start date
Doc was awesome at the CF tip off party this year. Gave him some crap about the cutoff sweats he was rocking & he just took it in stride. Reminds me of the guys from the Southern Comfort commercials, just doesn't G.A.F.
Happy to have him here.
Happy to have him here.
I definitely feel the defensive rotation has improved a lot since the past couple seasons. The scoring will always be there with Hoiball, so it's awesome to see the defensive improvements.
I have thought we should hire Chiz as water boy ever since Auburn canned him.
I think defense inprovement is combination of Doc and the players we have added. Hogue, Kane, and Thomas all seemed pretty solid on D.

Blowby Lucious and soft Clyburn defense did get better in the last ten games last year. In the NCAA they played defense a lot better. That said, the plugging the middle by Georges worked most of the time yesterday. Georges is much better on defense this year even if he did pick up four fouls
Georges foul after TO on rebound was silly, but agree he is better on D now. I wonder if he is a step quicker now, he seems to have taken off weight or muscled up some.
I liked the fact that he played hard with four fouls and never got the fifth. He was key down the stretch.
We look more athletic and can recover on defense: Kane, Hogue, Melvin, Morris. The Kane hustle to block the ball out of bounds on the Georges goof ball handling could only have been duplicated by Clyburn last year. Looks like Kane has an NBA game. Wow, are we lucky!
WHO ARE THESE GUYS? People recently have been making comparisons to who players remind them of. My guesses are below.
Monte Morris reminds me of a clean, skinnier Mario Chalmers. Mario is having a good year for the Heat, but he still plays a little dirty.
No one compares to Georges unless he is a short, smaller Moses Malone. Moses was a handful around the bucket. Old man game? Who cares if the ball goes in.
Kane is more like Relaford than Hogue is. Kane appears to be better than Relaford since he can run the game from all aspects.
Melvin cleans up messes around the bucket. His three point shot where he faked it a couple times and then shot is what Kobe like to do. His lateral speed allows him to get to rebounds. Who do you think he compares to?
Hogue is like a better Dendy, especially on D. This means we can always have one energizer bunny on the court.
Fred is the chessmaster.
Michigan only had nine fouls shots and just made four. That helped immensely.
I am a Doc Sadler fan and I also hope he sticks around for a long time at ISU. I was elated to find out that Fred added him to the staff. The guy knows basketball, and brings that sage old man knowledge to the bench.
I love Doc Sadler. I was extremely excited when I heard Hoiberg added him to the staff. I truly hope he stays at Iowa State for awhile, but I think Doc will eventually take a head coaching job sooner then later. The dude knows basketball. Even though it didn't quite work out at Nebraska (nobody really wins there), he is a good coach, his teams are tenacious (were seeing that with our team just 3 games in) and he can recruit. Players seem to really like him as well.
He did go to Twitter and needs to work on his spelling

Wow what a great atmosphere for college basketball. MVP of game HILTON MAJIC!!
I feel dumber even driving through Lincoln. Cut the guy some slack, takes a while for that **** to exit your system :twitcy:
Kane is Kane. I don't see many guards that can do what he does as far as score, rebound, assist and play D. Probably the closest comparison is Stinson.
