Coach Hurley says this year's team can't take "hard" coaching

[uconngb]

Because scouts clearly see an NBA talent. If only someone knew how to coach and get the most out of him.

But why do all that when you can go to the portal and get someone you don’t have to do all that with?

If he had talent he’d be playing

Everyone went after Mahaney, so I really can’t blame Hurley for missing the scout there. He was a hot commodity and we won the sweepstakes - similar to the Timberlake outcome for KU in 23/24.

It’s hard to judge Nowell, he’s had a ton of injuries and Hurley panicked after Maui and rode Hassan more stunting his development. Now when he’s out there he looks overwhelmed. Him, Mahaney, Abraham, Ross, Stewart and even Ball are all overwhelmed and keep making the same mistakes - that leaves us with an unplayable bench and no backcourt depth.

It’s gotten so bad in practice Abraham and Ross can’t sniff the floor, Mahaney has his minutes severely cut, and we’re limiting Stewart and Nowell’s exposure because extended court time results in losing. Ball plays half the game and can only jack 3’s.

The staff knows what’s going on, Alex does too which is why he spoke out last week. They’re not happy. Kind of a perfect storm of misses, lack of development, and roster/chemistry issues which I won’t go into.

The staff severely mismanaged this roster and season because they had the wrong plan for it. That’s all there is to it.

I’m so sick and tired of hearing about practice too. I do not care what happens there. See if the guys can go out there and make plays.

I almost hope we get out of contention so guys can go out there and play free and see what we have instead of Hurley having everyone’s rope so tight because every game is life or death.

They can’t make plays in games if they can’t make plays in practice. Keep in mind we practice against our sub-100 rated defense.

I promise I do not care about a practice nobody has seen that’s just hearsay.

There is game film of Abraham, Ross, Ball, Stewart, Mahaney, and Nowell getting blown by and crossed over by future Le Moyne College alumni.

It got so bad we had to end a lot of those experiments early. Hurley is trying to work a miracle here, trust him.

What are we even talking about here? Ross has played in every game this season, he's had every chance to show what he can do in games and he's shown nothing. Liam was out for 5 weeks, Ross and Jaylin have had every chance.

Mainly referring to Abraham, but yes Ross has had his heavy serving of chances.

Imagine if we shut down the Jeremy Lamb experiment after the month of November. That’s stupid risk adverse no patience bs.

And it’s why he’s an overhyped developer coach. Coaches like Calhoun and Pop took risks when they saw things in players. Hurley doesn’t have the nuts to do that.

And there it is . . . He doesn’t know how to coach. Glad you came out and said it.

He doesn’t know how to develop perimeter players offensively, specifically.

There’s a lot of nuances to coaching. I don’t know if your pea brain understands nuance though.

 

[giddyup]

Reminder again, Ball, Stewart, Ross, and Singare were part of a top 5 class.

Wont mean anything if we can’t develop them.

Pretty good point lost in shuffle.

Who should Ross be playing over this season?

Who should Ross be playing over this season?

Ball, Karaban, and McNeeley all played 35+ minutes today. Nobody played well enough to be on the court for 35 minutes.

It’s moot at this point. Hurley put a muzzle on Ross way before we got this far offensively anyways.

Outside of early season cupcakes. He’s only taken more than 3 shots in a game twice this season.

Imagine if Calhoun and Kemba didn’t stay on Jeremy Lamb to stay aggressive and keep shooting.

Counterpoint: He’s not NBA lottery pick Jeremy lamb
