2015-2016 Season

[WAITE HOYT 2]

I'm here if you need to know anything else about a player years in advance......

Jake I mentioned this earlier if as a coach or parent you want more for your kid or kids then they want for themselves it will be a problem. My kids are having Kids now. First Grandson is a month old. My son was a very good athlete but he never had the success of my younger son. This got me thinking. Why??? What I came up with was the Daddy throw it higher strategy. I would see parents taking their kids out to the ball field and hitting these shots to their children thinking teaching him how to get tough and stand in the way of these bullets would make him a better player. What it did was make him not want to be out their with them. What I realized from experience with my youngest was I used to roll it to him softly at first until he would say hit it harder daddy. I got much better results with him they the older. The players on team need to take ownership of there performance. It was almost as if they were happy to be close to ISU.
The loss didn't bother them. well they have been embarrassed. Lets see what kind of grit they have now.

The problem with kj is he's probably our best all around guard when it's within flow of team. Dude doesn't see teammates on offense or defense. That's a coaching problem. KJ hasn't sat down with Mick all year and went over film individually. We all seen different attitude from kj in 2nd half of game yesterday. I don't remember any plays he made but Mick by yanking him asap took me first attitude away.

Goon Squad
Ellis
Moore

Goon Squad a kick they ass 9/10. I actually would use these lineups in real game starting Pets. Jenifer would be able to run and gun with goons

Bulldog has gone Bye Bye.

Actually best rotations you go find. Surround your bigs with outside shooters. Let the goons run freely with jenifer dropping dimes left and right. NOBODY on goon squad go play patty cake with ball around perimeter. You hide Moore defense with Ellis.

Best rotation? Come on man that line up consisted of the worst player on team. And surround by shooters? Besides Evans I wouldn't describe any of those other guys as shooters

MY starting 5... Deberry -Clark- Evans- Caupain- K.J. bring Cobb- Shaq- Ellis off the bench until they get it. Play hard ,play smart or ride the pine.

Why KJ? How has he played smart? What would it take for him to ride the pine? He has statistically or eye test wise been the worst player on the team for 2 years. Why does he get a pass? His couple minute stint in the 1st half yesterday was the worst he's ever been...and that says a LOT. He doesn't deserve to see the floor for any longer than Quadri.

 

[rogerOH]

I just think K.J. is playing hard at least and cares. Also there wasn't an obvious choice to put in there at the 2nd guard so he my pick over Cobb or Jenifer.

 

[rogerOH]

I would hope at the end of the year that Ellis/Clark/ Evans/Caupain/and Cobb are the starters but Ellis and Cobb need to get it together, I actually thought those two would be the go-to guys on the team.

 

[Bulldog01]

Cobb is legit. Playing without a pass first PG and weak inside game limit his skills.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

From people who caught the radio show it seems the team thinks it can just out score people and don't need to guard. Hopefully the temple game wakes them up.

jake I understand your frustration but KJ had some very nice games last year and he has had some moments this year. He guards well but lately he is a train wreck offensively. Getting him back on track as a productive bench piece is vital to this team. That said I really have no clue how that gets done.

Why is it, every year when Cronin's team gets some recognition, ranked, publicity this problem occurs? Every single year we hear from coach, "our players just think they show up, they will win" or "our players are more worried about what our rank is" etc etc. I for one, am getting tired of hearing that. Same old song and dance.

really think this s a common theme for coaches when there team is not playing well. Little motivation. Hopefully they get it turned around.

 

[UCBearcats]

Mick Cronin has an awful lot of balls for a guy who's made one sweet 16 in 10 years. Maybe it's because all of the "sports journalists" in this city are pussies and no one ever calls him out but it's amazing how someone can recycle so many of the same excuses year after year and get away with it.

I wonder when/if the tide will ever change enough to no longer accept this bullcrap.

 

[Bulldog01]

Remember how in Xavier game I said we lost on small thing like X ALWAYS having hands up on D? Cronin basically saying that's effort he wants out of players. Team are shooting lights out against us because they passes have been on point. We making it to easy to catch and shoot
