A coach that holds guys accountable will not put up with Javan Johnson!

We have a lot of guys with some combination of a lack of skills and lack of BBall IQ.
I do appreciate the opportunity to day drink. Thank you, Coach.
The no look pass to nowhere was the T ... Cunningham probably threw a f bomb in there for good measure.
The gap in Bball IQ between guys like Georges, Naz, Matt, and Monte compared to what we have now is actually incredible. From some of the best in all of CBB to probably some of the worst.
Lazy, terrible passes that no one could possibly think are a good idea. Where does this come from? Every one of those young men know that a pass of longer than 15' is going to get tipped or stolen, and yet they do it anyway. And then an over the shoulder hook shot pass to Solo that he had no chance of getting. Just ridiculous passing attempts. it's like they don't understand angles at all.
3 on 1 fast break and you airball a 3 from the corner. Hey, at least they are having fun, and that's what's important.

Down a dozen with less than 5 to play, so why wouldn't we take 9 seconds to get the ball across the half (not being pressured) and another 15 to find a shot...
Man...when they show the "lets see if ISU will be among the winless in big 12 play" graphic.....not good.....and if some of the games don't get played, the only asterisk will be "likely would have went 0-18 but due to COVID-19 only played xx games"
In fairness that is all they really have to look forward to at this point. They certainly aren't going to win any games, and half of them will be elsewhere next year. And there will be a new coach. I do feel bad for the players.
Some teams close strong, we fold strong.
How many times is that now where the largest lead of the game comes in the final minute? No mental toughness, no sense of urgency, no difference makers.

I don't think I've ever wanted a basketball season to end as much as I have this one, if for no other reason so that the program can move forward and we can start writing the next chapter.
Ehh, at times they looked like they wanted to care, but I think they’ve started to resign to their place in history.
