The kid he replaced at Monteverde ryan Nembhard was having a heck of a year for Creighton and had taken on a leadership role until he got hurt.  Ranked around 70.   Easily their best player.   Hopefully JHS can follow a similar path minus getting hurt 

JHS might have it in him but is the program, teammates willing to let him?

I think you'd agree the Creighton situation is a little different than where we are right now.

It's been obvious for a whole that they absolutely cannot be on the floor at the same time because neither can stay in front of a chair, but happened all season long with no change.

And In crunch time on defense he leaves them in. At the very least, sub offense for defense and vise versa. Anything is better than watching them get torched every night

[MikeRoberts 7,353]

I just expected more fundamentals. Motion, screening, cutting, and it’s not there. 
Players that can guard or refuse to and don’t work to get open on offense dominate the MPG.

it’s lunacy

Definitely different but doable.   Not going be easy but the culture can be changed

Yes I think so.  Last night I saw a bunch of helpers on the court but only Johnson seems willing to make crunch time plays.  If we have these same players, they're definitely willing to give the alpha role to somebody else.

Is Fife being groomed as the heir apparent?

The only thing with fife is can he recruit? He really needs to start pulling some players in before he gets the job. Don't think he is tied to any of the recruits we are going after.

Next year looks grim. 

We'll probably once again be picked to finish in the bottom half of the conference, 8-10 range if we lose TJD and Race.

Let's just hope someone is left over in the scrap heap after UK, Kansas, AZ get who they want.

Never make the same mistake twice.  Like Woody, ask yourself would Fife even be considered if he wasn't an IU guy?  If the answer is no then you'd have to be insane to make him the HC.

I agree with this, however he was on Izzo's staff for 10 years and spent some time in charge of a program.

He's recruited high major players in the Midwest, knows the B1G, and is young and hungry.

Just playing devil's advocate, I'd like for us to get the best person possible whenever the time comes regardless of where they went to school.

I have no idea how bates and Geronimo didn’t get more minutes down the last stretch of games. It is mind boggling 

Tamar and JG combined for 14 minutes last night good lord when are we gonna develop young high potential players that's awful

JG hit 3 jump shots last night in NINE MINUTES. Pretty sure the rest of the team hit like 3 jump shots combined

JG needed more minutes this year. I'm sure he will get way more next year with Race gone but damn, we could have used him more now.

I have never understand why not rotate Kopp and Stewart and start Geronimo at the 3. He is athletic enough to guard SF/wing type, and probably better than Kopp or Stewart can quite honestly.

 

The bigs rotation would be tough if you did this because TJD and Durr can't shoot too far out, but Durr actually showed decent touch.

He might be from the AD, or he might be the interim in a couple of years if he's still here. But he needs to take Woody out on the town for a nice bottle of Red wine and talk things out.

He was much more active last night than I've noticed all season. Sat at the end of the bench and was in Woody's ear quite a bit in crunch time. Maybe Rutgers was his scout? Idk.

Count me out on the heir apparent deal though. If we're gonna play the "good ole boys" game beyond this regime, Dolson isn't gonna work. And I really want him to.

I noticed that too with Fife but I do think it was his scout. I also believe that no AD should get to hire a 2nd coach after screwing up the first hire.

I'd be willing to give him a 2nd shot at it (if it comes to that; hopefully it doesn't and I'm not yet convinced that it will) but would also take the pen away as soon as he tries signing another old IU guy.

My sources have been telling me that Dolson has his eyes on Steve Alford if Woody doesn’t work out (or does work out and then retires).

Should have just done that in the first place
