Hard to say when you just repeatedly play a stagnant offense determined to pound it in the paint. Funny when you try to get shooters open with clean looks vs late desperation shot clock 3's, things change percentage wise. IU was awful at 3pt% but still 78 positions higher than their volume ranking. The only teams among the 271 schools to shoot less 3's with equal or better % were Texas State and Jackson state. Who else did you want attempting more 3's? Not sure why you are surprised a team that ignored the 3 pt shot as a weapon would be bad at it. You reap what you sow. Here is a list of the lowest ranking teams shooting the 3 as a % of all shots. Strangely a very similar list as those that shoot low volume and bad percentage and again, no other major program other than IU in sight. As far as questions are concerned, please give even a single good reason Woodrow has been unable to recruit or bring in via portal, a single good 3 pt shooter in the three offseasons prior. If Miles Rice continues to shoot 27.5% from 3 next season or Carlyle continues his sub par 3 pt shooting are you going to be exclaiming, " Who else did you want attempting more 3's? " like a good Woodrow apologist? I mean sure no one is expecting him to hang with Tarleton State, but...

There is no excuse, no explanation, no reasoning that could ever justify IU occupying this territory among not a single other power 5 school. The shooters were Woodrow's, the coaching and training was Woodrow's, the game plan was Woodrow's. His off season laziness resulted in what was seen last season, has he changed his ways after last seasons disaster? Short term it seems so, but I doubt he had an epiphany at 66 years old that he will now be a tireless recruiter every off season.

I spanked my young children when they did wrong. They have done things as teens I didn't agree with and I have voiced my displeasure with their actions and taken away driving privileges and/or grounded them . Funny thing is I still love them and are a true fan of the men they have become. If I had a boss I don't think she would take well to those actions either...well, since this is hypothetical maybe I will imagine having a hot kinky boss.

Can an AD also coach? Asking for a friend.

Only if you have no clue what the word means. Soooooo....

I'll help unconfound you a bit. You're welcome little adjective The criticism all came from people with little minds. Synonyms narrow petty mean short-sighted opinionated inflexible worthless unworthy inferior third-rate mediocre You can pick just about any of those to describe Woodrow

LTFOL. Woodson left 200lbs in the rear view mirror decades ago.

So Woodrow decided to double technical himself out of all the fan events?

His double technical "get me the hell out of here" quit on the team is etched in my brain. Overpaying the 4th guy off the bench to call out your critics on Senior/Not Senior night doesn't change that fact.

You both also will seemingly spend about the same amount of time and energy in the off season trying to reach those goals.

Here is a number

I heard Woodrow misread GCHS and thought all the cars were parked in GCC parking lot( Greenfield Country Club). When a cart attendant never came to his car for his clubs, he walked into the gym and asked "one of the the tall lanky kids" to stop goofing around and to load his bag and direct him to the clubhouse bar.

20-11 11-9 and a 3 way tie for 5th in the B1G would be a disaster. So about right.

Expectations by talent: Slightly better season than last with a down B1G. Sweet 16 loss. Expectation by roster and STAFF: A bit better with some big losses starting in the Bahamas. More perplexed frustration. A hump that seems to continually move down the road like a highway mirage.

God forbid a player miss any games for injury! I mean that almost never happens to other teams.

Sorry for talking Mike Woodson's deficiencies in the Fire Mike Woodson thread. How rude of me.

Per 40 minute stats for Cupps, TG and Cupps? Care to venture any guesses? You say a guy had low volume like it is a bad thing when he hit 26% .Truly crazy how you think high volume 3's are a good thing regardless of percentage. 26, 27.5, 32, 35% from three is bad at any volume. With the caveat that a 4 or 5 shooting 35% is acceptable to good, not because of the actual points per shot, but the way it opens up the floor when a big has to be honored on the perimeter. Wings shooting below 37-38% is not a good thing, ever.

Agree, it would. I will believe it when I see it.

No I have been pointing out that your statement that some mythical improvement to 35% from 3 point shooting doesn't equal a significant improvement in OE. None of your pretzel logic makes it so. The "screaming" is just how you hear it in your head when your foolishness is pointed out.

What does that have to do with every other offensive statistic that IU lacked in? The simple fact is your imaginary increase in 3 pt % and volume doesn't even get IU in the top 50 without improvement everywhere else. And there in lies the rub, whatever marginal improvement in talent $6M bought they are still being coached a bad brand of basketball and that trumps everything else.

Yeah, don't think anyone is coming out to guard Ballo 15 ft from the basket

No you are assuming every single player takes huge leaps in efficiency and then your math still doesn't add up, so then you pretend math is subjective.
