Is TJ out of gas?

TJ is great at assembling teams, getting them to peak, and instilling a great overall brand of team basketball, but his in-game tactics leave lots to be desired. We don't adjust, we don't utilize timeouts very well (set plays), and at times our rotations leave a lot to be desired.

Otz has to figure out a way to get guys to play better fundamental defense. Too often guys like King, Holmes, and Osun overcommit and leave shooters wide open. Jones CONSTANTLY leaves the floor on pump fakes. Grill is losing composure. Instead of playing smarter he's acting like a brat on the court. The offense is too stagnant, with poor screening and movement with the ball. OSU was able to drive guys 7 feet beyond the arc. We consistently have issues reversing course once things turn negative, especially in the 2nd half.
We just need some legit Big 12 offensive players. The horses are on the way.

Don't know, don't care anymore, I'll figure out something better to do with my time than watch this trainwreck continue.

This is a Fran Mccaffrey or Steve Prohm meltdown after starting the season really well.

I’m old enough to remember when you said you had never got negative since TJ became coach except for 2 games. Now we have this post? This is quite the turn.

Jaren is the only one who can really find his way to the basket but OSU had the perfect switch to not give him a good look and then Gabe and Grill aren't exactly Tinsley at getting to the hoop.
They sure aren’t Tinsley and not even as good as Lipsey at driving to the hoop.

I don't give 2 ***** about K-State basketball, never have, never will, never been to a basketball game there, can only name 2 players on their team, Johnson and Nowell.

Just stop with this bs. If they make the tourney ill watch then. It was fun the first 3 or 4 weeks of Big 12 play but there's not much left to play for except hoping they don't slide down into an 8-9 type game.
You aren't a fan if you only watch when it's fun. You take the bad with the good or get lost.

Lol, says the guy triggered about a weather reporter.
Me calling someone out does not equal being triggered by him. But you’re definitely triggered that I call out doofus for failing at his job.

Nice deflection though, how’s day 2 of your hiatus where you haven’t actually left yet?
