Just said on the radio that they were going to foul right about where bolton was screened. Wanted to get a little time off the clock 3ish seconds before fouling.

Well first of all, announcers are from experts on the rules, nor are they very great at strategy, but i never said don't foul, or don't foul early. I just said that you can't foul before the inbounds pass, because they will likely call an intentional foul.
My preference was that they foul as soon as TCU started dribbling. It didn't get done.
Agreed. Guess I’m old school, but the culture comes from the top. Winning, losing, and execution are a direct reflection of the leadership or lack thereof.
This does not mean I don’t like Prohm or think he is not a good man. The trend with this staff is undeniable.
Edit - I don’t he is a bad coach but needs work.
Then he's a bigger dumbass than we thought
I"m 100% sure Steve told them to foul, Dixon knew they'd foul as soon as he crossed half court so they set the screen at that spot. He was one step ahead of Steve.
That's why I respond to your posts. But you have great wisdom so I will no longer accept failure by no longer reading or responding to your posts. Yeah I know - huge loss for everyone.
You’re just now starting to realize we might finish last?
Box score showed 5 guys in double figures? Hit good average of FTs. Outrebounded by 1 by a more physical taller and longer team? Hit good average of 3s?
So yeah - half-dimensional REALLY seems to capture it...
I like our ball-reversal and movement w/o the ball t'night; looked much better than previous games. Unfortunately I was thinking if we executed that offense, we'd win
We'll the negative thoughts crept in after we got down by 25 to Iowa, but I was holding out for a B12 road win t'nite. Not a comforting feeling you seem to agree
Again, this is just one example of a lot of 'execution' issues leading to losses. I tend to think its mostly due to inexperience (read: roster turnover), yet that is a whole new can of worms.
Except their TCU. Are we trying to be TCU or are we aspiring for a bit more. It was a combination of poor execution and poor coaching at the end. They have practiced late game before and clearly George wasn’t supposed to be attached at mid-Court. Bolton didn’t even have his head on a swivel to give the foul prior to the pick. Really good effort but I imagine this doesn’t help the cohesiveness of the locker room.
He said he wanted them to use approx. 3 seconds of the clock which would have put them at half court before fouling. Unfortunately Bolton got fouled right at half court.
"Okay guys.....ISU is going to foul us right after we get across half court....so go ahead and just chuck it."
