Some interesting Tulsa game stats

Cobb and KO had words - he’s in the doghouse!

is he gonna transfer, too? seems like Ollie puts a lot of players in the dog house and they never come back.

Can't wait for it to be spun as some soul-crushing loss if it happens.

if we replace him with someone worse like we did this off-season it's worth scalitoing about

Cobb is Antric Klaiber with muscles.

That’s why no one yells at players a la Calhoun or knight anymore. Coach k a little. But that’s about it. Kids just turn off and leave. There aren’t too many father figure coaches anymore just friendly teachers. You forget these guys are recruiting all these kids friends as well.

You can't have it both ways. You can't criticize Ollie for not disciplining players, and criticize Ollie for disciplining players.

VERY true. Players today are used to getting their egos stroked. I have worked in schools for the last 25 years, kids in general can't handle criticism parents don't allow it. They don't even criticize their kids too busy being their friends and defenders

I know it’s pros but he did it in college too - Brad Stevens has found that right balance. I will need to observe him more closely to see how he pulls it off.

This spring, if I could take one player and be responsible for his development and improvement - it would be either Cobb or Whaley.
Cobb sabotages himself during games so much that it’s difficult for a Coach to keep him out there even if he was given 10 fouls. Yet, he does appear to have certain untapped skills and physical ability.

 

[Palatine]

Anderson is absolute trash. A 5th year PG that can’t inbound the call up 1 with 10 seconds left? That was the softest stuff I’ve ever seen from a UConn guard.

Tough to blame Anderson when Ollie's teams have had the same problem for years.

As is Polley i believe

Cobb is pretty old to learn new tricks. I mean, hanging on the perimeter, bringing the ball up the court! Wow--it's just insanity.

Whaley and Carlton are 2 players who, with development, will become interesting pieces.

 

[August_West]

I missed the beginning, but from what I saw, that second statement can’t really be true.

It is true. And Carlton was not good yesterday.

That should tell you about Cobbs brief appearance.

It was nice to see Larrier pass the ball for once. A pretty remarkable stat that I noticed yesterday during the game was that his season output for field goal attempts: 180. Assists: 9.

He had 4 last night.

 

[HooperScooper]

One other stat from the box score. Adams and Larrier played all 50 minutes. Just shows how bad the depth is. It's a catch 22 but I don't think they can continue to play the minutes they are to be fully effective.
