Lol…I almost posted “he’s an easy guy to root for” and then I caught myself just in time.

God bless Painter. He’s an easy guy to like.

C’mon Tommy Basketball. If Missouri can do this, you can do it too!

So… you agree?

All of this is true…in our last game against OSU. Let’s hope it’s a trend, not an outlier

He gave us a ‘No Warren’ ultimatum. ;)

“I think I’m an IU guy. Wait..wha?!? Not Warren? Now I’m DEFINITELY an IU guy.”

It’s almost like he practiced year with a Archie and learned to be scared to let it fly

In a way I am the pessimist here. I don’t think that Parker has it in him to be moving and curling around screens for shots. I think that he is a superior catch and shoot guy, and doesn’t turn it over much. If he sticks to his role that’s a big role on this IU team.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! A good day for IUFB imo

Don’t get me wrong guys—second guessing coaching decisions is one of the fuels of this or any board. Great discussion

Thad Matta has been very successful, but most people who know a hell of a lot more about basketball than me or you would also say that Woodson and Hill’s resume coaching the best players in the world is pretty ******* impressive. Are you inferring a comparison between them and Ostrom/Mike Roberts? Yikes

I agree with u there! Parker Stewart is an infinitely better shooter and maker than Phinisee. If the question is “why doesn’t Stewart shoot more and Phinisee shoot less?” There is a real reason. Im sure the staff would love to get Stewart more looks. Stewart gets game planned by the opposition—they don’t ever double off of him and his shot opportunities are limited as a result.

If Armond Hill and Mike Woodson don’t “move the needle” for you, then I now understand why you feel the way you feel.

See Roth, Matt. Our best shooter rarely has the ball in his hands. When he does he either catches and shoots, or defers to other players. I loved the left handed finish in the lane by Parker last game. That was an outlier moment. PS—I am glad you will love to see this. Always need more love in the world.

It means playing him alongside X, or if not at least along with Galloway

Derek Elston also took more shots per 40 minutes than Matt Roth. Better?

I made two points—you mixed them to form a conclusion. Parker Stewart cannot create a shot, so he takes fewer shots per minute than Phinisee.

Our “best shooter” cannot create his own shot. Matt Roth was a GREAT shooter. During the same era Derek Elston took more shots.

Or if collectively, Mike Woodson, Armond Hill, Yas, Dane Fife, Thad Matta, and Kenya Hunter, with ALL of their collective experience, think that Phin helps us win and are wrong. Gawd, it feels completely ridiculous to even type that. Sometimes the hate for Phinisee borders on the ludicrous. For me? He helps us win, especially when he’s guarding the point but playing SG on offense.

For me it is very little about playing style. It is about attitude. Parks fits with JHS, Cupps, Gunn, Banks, and Newton

Since Booker has blown off TWO visits to Bloomington? I would hope so. Austin Parks + Kwame Evans + Gabe Cupps + Jakai Newton = complete success in 2023

Feels like there’s an outside chance he could pop the week after the Minny game? He’s already made trips to his top schools. Might have seen what he needs to see by now.
