Maybe a try-out from the intramural league for a shooter is in order.
lol if Ollie is still here we will probably be starting 2 transfers in Wilson and Cobb.
Shot selection and wanted the foul call when he should be following a shot or getting back on d make him bad in this game. Love his heart. we are good when he plays only 15 minutes because everyone else plays just as hard as him and are more talented.
Might be right partly. But on coaching, KO is failing. The offense has no flow, there is no ball movement, and no shot selectivity - all teachable. D breaks down constantly - simply execution. Players don't box - teachable concept. No discipline or execution - the hallmark of KO teams.
Adams and Larrier are very selfish with the ball. Can't blame CV for hoisting when the team will NEVER pass the rock and the Coach does not advocate passing. Everyone is out for their own, disgusting offensive game plan and execution.
Because we don’t recruit them. We’d rather go after combo guards who can’t shoot and skinny wings who can’t shoot. The fundamentally sound slightly less athletic guy who can shoot holds no appeal to Kevin Ollie apparently.
Please list things Ollie should have done to win that game? I was watching looking for reasons for anyone to say fire Ollie. Didn't see any. Moving screen. Took the player out he sat on the bench. Adams dribbles and doesnt pass and turns it over, then Larrier turns it over then anderson walks. Then cobb chucks up a 3 cause he made the first chuck. He sat them they started to play better. They are playing a top 10 team and they showed it down the stretch and Adams wanted to take over and couldn't and then you lose. .... please tell me the reason this would be KO fault?
KO couldn't shoot either so he recruits players that remind him of himself.
Agree was posting similar thoughts. Sorry guys. Looks like we have him until presidents weekend.
I hate this reply but the snarkyness is commendable and funny.
You are a delusional human being because you think firing the coach would fix this.Time to buy a duke jersey Super john they will take you over there you'll be happier. we will be happier.
The word from the announcer was chemistry. They have it. We can’t expect to with all this change.
I especially enjoyed his drive and dish that hit the back of the backboard. He’s out of control
This x1000. Total NBA iso mindset. The idea of a less athletic pure shooter on the floor doesn't fit his world view or schemes.
SO you think they need to practice more? He is running a motion offense and then they call for a high ball screen. I say that is on the players to be better no? My guess is they practice. I agree with a play call like the curl for larrier down lower. Up to the point guard to make it happen live. missing one an all american point guard.
I can't argue with the fact that Ollie could be better with what he's got, but I don't think it's the biggest problem. Our personnel, collectively, is well-below other teams. I think many mistakes, inconsistency comes from this fact. Hard to play a perfect game against better competition. At some point players have to make stops, hit shots, get rebounds, make plays. Wichita State had guards on the wings who could make a ball fake or an up fake then step back and drill a 3 pointer with ease. We are not even close to that with any consistency. Ollie won a national championship in 2014 with a good team, but not the best team. He's not the idiot that many want to make him out to be. You have to have players... period. You're playing against other teams who have good coaching and players. Nonetheless, your point about Ollie needing to be better is well-taken. I just think it's only about 10% of the problem while the personnel is 90%. Just my humble opinion and maybe also my willingness to give a guy who is doing a tough job the benefit of the doubt...to many arm-chair quarterbacks on this site.
