Johnny didn't "step down". and he wasn't fired.
The administration just told him he wasn't going to be the head coach any more.
That must have been really tough on him, being treated that way.
It's like the team is saying "Hey, watch us whip the ball around the outside ! Aren't we snazzy ? "
Meanwhile, Osun is actually trying to post up, and they miss the fact he is open. Or, he is part of the outside passing game, which makes no sense.
I was wrong about Caleb this time. He was defending a teammate. He didn't deserve a T.
However, after watching the game again........having Robert and Osun use extreme pressure on the ball-handler (generally someone smaller) 20 FEET from the bucket is bad coaching and just flat-out stupid...
Caleb has one more year ? Which of the talented newcomers sits because of him?
We had opportunity to get fouled on drives to the hoop. But, 3's get you to the NBA.
With past teams, the clones could rest on offense. One driver to the hoop with 4 guys getting ready to shoot a 3. Not the case this year. Everyone is involved on offense, quickly passing the ball around the perimeter. I'm not sure that passing game gets anything done, except tire the...
If the team is a 7, the hope is that Hampton is not a 10..
Seriously, college basketball is BAD this year. Part of the reason is NIL and the portal. Teams don't play together for any time at all. For example, who will return next year for the clones ? A brand new team. AGAIN.
The interviews after basketball are similar to football. Can anyone stand up and say the team is not very good?
And i said it before. If Bob is better than Tre, then Tre isn't very good.
Life in the Big 12 will be tougher in the future with the addition of the 4 and OU / UT leaving. The 4 new teams all have something that Oklahoma and Texas always had a shortage of.
You would think his ability to foul would get him more minutes -- similar to Caleb (hack), Jaz (hack and grab), and Jaren (kick with the thighs). Maybe he doesn't have his hands in the air enough to prove he isn't fouling.
