I've mentioned... not a fan of that lineup.... unless Knecht is like a god and can create. And if he is THAT good, why wouldn't he already be headed to the NBA. But, if I'm XJ... I'm not a fan of that lineup.

Not sure why if you were XJ you wouldn't be a fan of that lineup.

Because he, just like 2 years ago, would have very little help creating for others. Sorry but I almost hate that lineup. 

Knecht, Ledlum despite having huge usage #s... don't exactly get others involved much. I thought we just watched a whole NCAAT where multiple ball handlers/multiple creators off the bounce were essential. 

Whether TG starts or not... I'd be shocked if he doesn't avg 25mpg+... especially with the way the roster is trending.

You bring up a great point. I don't usually like to get caught up in who starts and who doesn't. I tend to look at important times, who is on the court. And I think we have evidence to show that Coach Woodson goes with guys who have been producing and who he trusts over his first two seasons at IU. TG could play starters minutes but off the bench.

I can't believe i'm saying this after the 2 year ago Gallo, but Next year I want to see Gallo shooting MORE 3's.  

We desperately need our offensive rebounding percentage to improve however and shooting more 3's would help that.  If we get Knecht he should shoot a lot and Gallo needs to figure out if he can stay hot.

That is something I like about Woodson is that he'll roll with what is working. He does though drive me nuts at times with not changing starting lineups, especially in 2nd half.

Does any team/coach do that?

Problem for him is though that he needs someone else to set him up. His release takes too long to be anything other than an open catch and shoot guy. But TG has shown that he works hard on his game so maybe that'll be the next step?

I'm with you here. Barring something outrageous or an injury, 99.9% of all coaches roll their same starters from the beginning of the game to the second half. 

[rcbowla 8,282]

I don't pay enough attention tbh. Does that make it right? To not put your team in the best position to win is malpractice as a coach. We have clearly seen times where that would've benefited the team.

I'll ask you same question then. Does that make it the right choice? Sometimes doing something different is how you gain an advantage.

Rabby checking to see if Knecht will be taking any more visits. If not, that obviously does not bode well for us landing him.

Yes, it does make it the right choice in my eyes, CMW and other coaches know their team sooooooo much better than we do. 

Maybe you could say... "I think it would be interesting if we did that" but labeling it "malpractice" or something that "drives you nuts" is just strange to me simply because it's not something that happens, anywhere. Not every single coach can be wrong about that.

I guess if I were the coach and I had a lineup that had just cut a 10 pt deficit to 1 over last 8 minutes (for example). I'm coming out with that same lineup rather than the one that dug the original hole. I guess that's stupid because others don't do that

 I never said it was stupid, nor did I act like you were dumb. It's just not malpractice, or something that is ever done consistently.

I wasn't suggesting that you were. It was more to the point of "just do what everyone else does". Guess I'd like to know then why more don't do that. I get continuity, minute roles, sub patterns Yada Yada but just like "if it ain't broke don't fix it" there's something to "if it is broke then fix it".

I agree. If we want to compete at a high level he is not a starter for me. Just way too inconsistent. But I think he will improve, just think he brings more coming off the bench than starting. 

I think we’ll see a jump in Trey’s play again this season. He was already starting to shoot better as last year progressed.

But if necessary, Trey would have no problem coming off the bench. Best part of Galloway is he’s all about winning.

Very possible.  Hopefully he will be able to participate fully in off-season activities (no injuries or surgerys).

It's not a mid game type thing to fix, imo. Those lineups/rotations weren't built IN GAME, they were built in HOURS of practice. And a couple of possessions of struggle, in my eyes, shouldn't change that. 

But, we didn't really see prolonged, often issues with certain lineups, right? Like it wasn't like EVERY end of the half we were playing well and that saved us from a poor first 12 mins, for example.

This last season not so much but previous year yes we did see those problems prolonged at starts of both halves iirc
