Fred was good at inbounds plays. Johnny Orr was amazing at drawing some inbound plays. Bill Fennelly is pretty good at this too. Part of it is we usually have Caleb inbounding and I think he struggles a bit.
That foul/ tackle that wasn’t called on Linsey was a better tackle than all season by th Oklahoma football teamOur worst inbound play tonight was a getting tackled problem.

I can never watch this clip without laughing!!!
Lol. And his feeble attempt to block the shot. But of course he doesn't, because... well he can't block any shot.I can never watch it less than 6 times.
Woodbury was so busy directing traffic.
I think Caleb is making the pass cause he’s not the quickest or a great ball handler. Obviously Tamin would have been open without the arm tackle. This is where we miss having a backup point like Jackson as well, then maybe Gabe can be the passer. But turns out passing to Osun was a great idea.Fred was good at inbounds plays.

That makes sense. Even teams that are good with inbounds plays can struggle toward the end of games because the intensity goes way up. Not really concerned with this game because others mentioned Tamin was fouled. It is a concern going forward because we've struggled even with light inbounds pressure at times under TJ. I think we had two turnovers at K-State last year due to inbounds issues.I think Caleb is making the pass cause he’s not the quickest or a great ball handler.

Our inbounding issues were worse under some previous coaches
I think we lack good ball handlers besides Lipsey and it is a problem breaking the press. Hopefully a thing we have been working on since Iowa game. Positioning the bigs correctly can help sometimes and I am gaining some confidence in Osun. Don’t want to see Big Rob dribbling much.That makes sense.

I also think Caleb's arm strength to get the ball down the court is why he takes it out. That and TJ trusts his decision making. Not saying I fully agree with having Caleb throwing it in, but I think it all ends up working out. As you said, he's not the quickest or the best ball handler.I think Caleb is making the pass cause he’s not the quickest or a great ball handler.

Tamin would’ve been wide open had he not been tackled. He set his man up perfectly. You don’t need an inbounds play to get the ball in. Usually unless a TO is called for a specific situation, you’re just running basic actions where you trust your guys to set screens, get open, and make the correct pass.Yes, we have an inbounding problem. Not enough plays, all the same. Even though Lipsey was tackled he still didn't cut immediately to the ball, I don't think I saw any screens set. Yes, Lipsey is a better ball handler than Grill, but he is also a way way better passer and has great sight of where everyone is on the floor.
In last night's situation they were going to foul immediately so ball handling wasn't going to be an issue, and grill can sink free throws!

Was that all Kane having situational awareness? Or was he coached to be looking for Woodbury to turn his back? Seems to me like it was just wonderful serendipity.
