My only criticism of Fred's coaching career so far is what we do in the last minute of games. At some point he has to try something different than letting DG do what he wants
I also blame our two other putzs who stood around while pullen went for the layup after DG fell out of the way. I mean, cm'n man make a better move than a look at the shooter.No he was falling over. He got his feet tangnled in Pullens cross over. This loss is not on DG. If this team could get an offensive roubound at the end of the game ISU wins.
No ****, and it would have been nice to see someone at least challenge Pullen at the hoop.

Then the players they were guarding would have been wide open so same result.
It was a called isolation play for Diante. They did what they were supposed to.
While true, at least their shot would've been more difficult than an uncontested layup by a talented senior leader....
This is all on the coaches. I don't blame DG at all. This is obviously a designed play because we have seen it over and over after timeouts this year. It just doesn't ******* work. It is very troubling for me that the coaches haven't figured out anything besides this one play to run at the end of games. Everyone in the B12 knows what we are going to do with a small lead at the end of games and they exploit us every time. We will continue to lose these games as long as we continue this approach.
I don't blame Fred or DG. Watch that last play, DG had 3 options: JVB off the pick and pop for 3, Scotty in the corner for 3 if his man helps, or an ISO for DG if neither JVB or Scotty's guy helps. If you were to write out our three offensive strengths, it would likely be Scott and JVB shooting a 3 or DG driving to the rim. Coach Fred put the guys in a position to succeed there, DG took all he had open, they just defended it well.
If you want to get mad about something, get mad about giving up wide open threes all game. Get made about Ejim for the second time in two weeks not hedging a ball screen giving the other teams best player a wide open three.
