After reading, I was expecting to see a lot of flexing and taunting stares in his HL video, but he seemed strangely reserved. Definitely something IU doesn't have at the PG position, but with RF and likely KL returning, adding a 3rd PG would put someone out of some serious minutes. Just a thought, but this is a highlight video, so yes I would expect to see a little more cockiness so to speak after some of these plays. However when the problems with the refs occur, I am betting it is during struggle time. That is when most players start to complain and have ref issues, or even with other players. Things not going your way are usually the better indicator of a players psyche, so to speak. Quote

Bobman1 Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 After reading all that on Johnson... pass. Disagree, I think Johnson is the best guard in the portal and I think Woody is a good enough players coach to get him to buy in. Also have no issue with players getting a technical every now and then, love to see some fire.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Chris007 and sweetpain 2 Quote

Hoosierfan2017 Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I’ll take a hot head kid over a team full of kids who don’t care enough to get T’d up like we had for most of last year. Did we ever have a player get a technical under Archie? Hippopotamo, Str8Hoosiers, Bobman1 and 3 others 6 Quote

There is about a 1000 different ways to be "dog" and not be a punk to the extent that your coach has to call you out in a post game press conference. Taunting is for the weak. Duke doesn't taunt, Gonzaga doesn't taunt, Nova doesn't taunt. They just shut up a play. The rest is just weak a** s***. All the stuff you mentioned is fluff, it isn't what a program is built on. Now... there's always a line and I don't expect ANY of our kids to back down, but to be called out in a post game interview.. for one it's ungodly embarrassing or should be for Johnson and for two you can see how bad his behavior must have been.

CSP Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I for sure want some guards with some more attitude, just not this one. I don't even have a problem with yapping (at times) I get that it happens and there are different ways people play ball. No issue with that. I still can't get over Capel having to say that though.

I hear you, but I wouldn't necessarily shut the door on a talented kid that plays with passion because of an off-the-cuff comment from a coach that hasn't coached a winning team in 6 years. He was still playing 30mpg and had a 30% usage rate (1st in ACC). Capels actions don't match his words in this instance. Woody needs to do some vetting here to be fair, but more evidence points to Johnson being a big positive to this team than the opposite. Quote
