I'm sure Izzo would be playing his freshman if he thought they would give them a better chance to win. Just because a guy is highly rated does not mean he is ready to contribute right away.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
We (well not all of us
) don't know better than the coach what is going on in practice and who is getting it and who isn't. Luckily we have one of those chosen few who know better on this site to tell us (and TJ) the error of our ways.This isn't a shot at you, @FriendlySpartan
I don't think Baylor will go very far this year Maybe S16 but thats ceiling. 1st round or 2nd wouldn't suprise me. Feel like they live by the 3 too much and they aren't that tough rebounding team when they've been in past. I don't think they're a contender hopefully this doesn't burn me too bad in March
Well fears got shot over Xmas break so that’s a non issue. Booker should be plying over mady and cooper, Carr should be 6-7th man filling in when hall or Akins needs a breather.
Honestly hoggard shouldn’t be getting mins right now he’s just costing us games.
The main issue is that the guys the freshman aren’t getting time for are playing like crap, Izzo raves every loss about the freshman promising more mins becuase anyone with eyes can see they are better. He’s just lost it as a coach. He’s 70, it happens, still wouldn’t trade the last 20+ years but his time is nearing its end.
I mean your coach is the best in cbb right now but doubt he’s a candidate. Oats would be the most likely, dude won’t even let a little thing like murder stop him.
I really wish Izzo had brought back more former players to get spots on the bench to take over but there isn’t a successor in the house.
Guessing Nate Oates is their next coach if Michigan doesn't snag him first.
If a legend like George Niang or Naz Long was in town and chimed in, that would be pretty cool and would be all for it. If it was a Connor McCaffery-esque former player like Brady Ernst, then it would be really weird.
I sadly think Izzo has more than one year but if he sucks again next year both jobs could be open. Howard is under a lot of pressure right now but they might give him a pass for the health stuff.
If it truly was supposed to be a "players only meeting" then Fran should have nothing to do with it. Maybe Pat invited him.
It’s criminal how Fran stole scholarship money for those 2 boys….neither should have played in a P6 conference,…. But now that I think of it……that BB program barely qualifies as P6
Have to admit reading this player meeting gate investigation on here today has been entertaining.
A similar comparison would be Paul Rhoads' son sitting in a team only meeting after he graduated. Tribalism or not that would be weird to me.
Yeah, totally normal that a guy who nearly averaged more fouls than points last year is leading “players only” meetings for his daddy.
