Bigger win in Dayton that night? IU winning first ncaa tournament game in 6 years or me keeping a straight face when his family told me Woody wasn’t using him right and not giving him enough  chances to  shine.  Just nodding my head and mouth shut as Parker preceded to foul a 3 point shooter late in the game and not getting yanked.   Interesting game watching experience for sure  

Not enough chances to shine? They started him every game AND played his music before games for crying out loud! What more could they want!?

He stood around and shot open 3s whenever he wanted, and missed a lot of them.  He didn’t do anything else (he competed hard on D). If that was by design, it was hard to watch.  Geronimo deserved more minutes down the stretch and they should have come from Kopp/Stewart.

Yep. Woody called his number in crunch time twice down the stretch (Rutgers and at Purdue). The staff gave him opportunities

He finally hit an important one against Rutgers by the simple mathematical approach of taking 20 and having to hit one of them.

Did they forget that they ran 3 straight plays to get him open for 3's at the end of the Rutgers game.

He was 2-9 from three in that game. 
 

he hit 2 more threes the rest of the way (6 more games). Not good for your best 3pt shooter who was given a green light

6 or 7 of those attempts had to have been in the last couple minutes. He got great look after great look and clanked them all.

Parker Stewart was also a key figure in both of the disciplinary incidents of the last year.

He was a terrible addition to last year’s team.

IMHO.  Parker with X… bad bad bad combo. Paper and fire.

And we’re not even talking about a seasoned Big 1.o vet like Kopp whose shot selection was nonexistent.

We lacked top end makers but our shot selection was turrble.

I'm not all sad that he transferred. I think this is an addition by subtraction in his case.

Outgoing are 3 mid-major players. One of those, Stewart, seemed to have attitude issues. 

Incoming to replace those players are 2 top 30 recruits, another in the top 100, and a 3 star. So far, these 4 players seen like good guys and are willing to work.

Parker Stewart was entirely a Kenya Hunter get.

Woody asked who he thinks will make the biggest jump. First words out of Woody's mouth: "I like Tamar Bates...I'm looking for big things from him."

Also: "Based upon what I've seen, I would like to play ten guys if I could."

Thank God. Yes, when you have real depth, you should use it.

He definitely wants to play 10. If that is best for the team or not remains a question. Please, no Hockey sub patterns/Platoons.
I feel like NBA guys like to have a more set sub pattern based on the clock. I really prefer no preset subs and just go by the feel of the game and the players and how they are playing, who is hot and cold. Who is exploiting matchups, etc.

I understand the thought of practicing groups together but I hope he fully abandons that idea. I’ve said a million times by now, the best teams seem to be playing 7-8 by the end of the year, even really deep teams. Which we could work ourselves towards if players separate from a 10 man rotation.

Often a good thing, but it can sometimes mean nobody is really standing out. The latter reminds me of the breathless reports of Guy-Michael-“whatever his name was” tearing it up in practice. It turns out the guys he was practicing against weren’t very good and neither was he.  Hopefully it’s the former and there’s too much bona fide talent to get on the floor.
