It's apparent you haven't bothered watching this game as his performance has been worse than the team's. Keeping Ward out of the game for 12 minutes was insane. Didn't have the stats to show for it, but he was a game changer on defense when he game in. His ability to alter shots and rotate on defense is what started that comeback. Kunc getting more minutes than Watson was also insane given how band Kunc was in every facet of the game.
Then we get to the 2nd half and start to struggle, with some poor personnel decisions. We were trying to pound the ball low, which hadn't worked all day (was that a coaching decision) and Otz refuses to use his timeouts to rally his troops. At the 5.5 minute mark left in the 2nd half, being down 16, we had two timeouts. Explain that one away, genius?
It's awesome when clowns like you, Cyclonevet and others often trot out tired "you're an idiot" rather than actually attacking what was said. The answer to that is you are unable to really refute the points of the post because they are largely accurate.
Otz gets an A for bringing in talent, and A for general team cohesiveness, and a B+ for overall grade. But his in-game coaching and tactics, particularly set (timed) rotations, general lack of game feel, poor timeout usage, and struggles to implement set plays are woeful. Everything bad about Otz was on display today. I think that's pretty hard to refute (objectively).
Pitt made 14 baskets all game. We made 14 baskets all game. We lose by 18. Weirdly horrible game.
I hope you’re right since literally nobody else we have can shoot a three pointer.
oh thank jesus it's over lol.
Can't wait for next year. the future actually looks pretty good with the next generation. Squeezed everything we could out of GK, JK, JH, and OO but now it's time to get ready for next year!

Thankfully that season is over.
Had a good run in January where it looked like we might amount to something but I've never had less fun watching a Cyclone team the last 6 weeks in my entire life.

But, it just shows that teams that have a bad day like that are never any good ever again. Pretty much have no program left after it happens.
Which is why they needed to be going after more than one guy AND fill that spot afterwards with anyone with a pulse that could even just shoot marginally well.
Yep - kind of feeling like a lot of HS coaches that put athletes on the floor that can't play, gets excited about holding the other team to 44 while they lose 44-12.
Recruit basketball players. A coach should ask this. If a guy was 2" shorter would you be interested in recruiting him? If the answer is no, then move on.
I've had enough of coaches thinking they can construct a basketball team with guys that can't do basic basketball things.
Yeah, the rims weren't our ******* problem. If that is even a discussion at this point, I'll be irritated.
