I like seeing the introspection in his free throw comments.  After the last regime you'd be forgiven for thinking that wasn't allowed.  He at least recognizes there's a problem and the highlighted quote below sounds like he recognizes it's a trend.

"I thought I was a pretty good free throw shooter, but I’m not a good free throw coach."

He wasn't a bad free throw shooter either, about 85%.

From twitter Duke: 82, UofL: 56 The bad news, Card fans, is that this game won't be vacated. The good news, however, is that you only lost one game today instead of 123 games like yesterday. [emoji

After OSU got smoked by Penn State last night, #iubb now has the number 1 adjusted defensive efficiency in Big Ten play. #iubb was LAST in the conference in Adj. Def. Eff. a year ago. @AssemblyCal

Just wanted to say before we start the new season it’s always a pleasure talking hoops with almost all the posters on this board. Not sure how many years it’s been but this board is a part of my col

Can we stop ranking Nova now?

Well, they plummeted all the way to #20 on KenPom. 3 losses, including 2 to teams outside the top 100 and they’re still at 20. Of course, 4 loss Purdue is at 14. I’m usually a numbers guy, but actual wins and losses really should mean a little something.

A little off the current topic of overrated Nova, but regarding another (previously) overrated team in Purdoo....

A buddy of mine at work mentioned today he has some friends who know Matt Painter and he let them come and watch practice recently. They told him it's basically Carsen Edwards and then everyone else. He does what he wants (or doesn't want) to do. One example he gave was when Painter made the team run for something he wasn't happy with, but Edwards just went over to the side to shoot while the rest of the team ran. There was no obvious reason for him to be excluded. They told him Edwards did several things separate from the team during practice that day.

Now that example could just be a flash in the pan, but that's pretty much the way they look in games. 1) Carsen 2) Everyone else. I wonder if there's some friction up in WL.

If that is true, that has to absolutely kill team chemistry.

If I was the coach, I wouldn't allow that.

If I was Edwards, I wouldn't allow that.

Context is important here though. I have no idea why Edwards wasn't participating, but I highly doubt it's just him saying, 'nope, I don't feel like running.' I'm sure there's a reason behind it. 

Obviously this isn't the reason for Edwards, but my senior year of high school my coach would sometimes have me sit out portions on practice. I was tall (6'6") and lanky (190lbs) and played huge minutes, basically only coming out if I was in foul trouble, and I lost a lot of weight at the beginning of the season (dropped to 170 in 3 weeks), so it was more of a preservation move by our coach. I'd sit out gym class (coach was gym teacher) also and eat and watch film and sit out of some running during practice. 

Again, that's not the reason for Edwards obviously, just saying sometimes it's a decision by the staff to preserve a guy who has a high minutes/usage rate. It's a long season and you don't want to burn him out. You do run the risk of some chemistry issues of course, but I'd be surprised if it's just Edwards opting out, that would actually shock me.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. I just didn't do as good of a job as you did!
