Stupid three pointer by Dendy with 30 seconds on the shot clock. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

If you'll get on Dendy for that, you should get on Staiger for it too. He does it almost every game. Did you see that shot with like 3 minutes left? Gets the ball right away like almost out of bounds, does a fade away while going to his right behind the backboard and hits the side of the backboard with like 25 left on the clock.

I've been saying it every game. So many guys for us do it

We are soft. SOFT! Like a bunch of marshmallows.
Uninspired D. No effort on the boards.
And our offense. It is boring to watch, easy to defend, and flat out stinks.
You cannot run a post up isolation (like they do in the pros) for Brackins. There are no illegal defense calls in the college game, so there is all kinds of help other players can provide to deny him the ball. You have to get him moving more. Like Coach Knight says, the best way to get open is to set a screen yourself. All I ever see is one cross screen on one diagonal screen - wait, scratch that. We most see pick and roll ball screens with only 2 guys involved in the play, and it usually goes no where.
Our front court got whooped tonight. Whooped.
Everyone likes to look at the stat line, but the best stat line is to look at the guy you guarded to determine how you played.

I hate to say it but...

Greg McDermott appears to be the basketball version of Dan Hawkins.

That is hard to argue..... Im giving the man this year and if he doesnt make the tourney than I will be ******...... but its way to early even for me to raise hell and im a little nuts

Where's the high tempo offense we were supposed to have? Seriously we had absolutely no fast break points.

This. Our offense is hoping we hit our three's. Man Craig is getting ****** too. If things don't change, Craig's play may drop a level.

We've had some bad games but this one takes it.....maybe we overrated the talent on this team.

Why do we make so many stupid moves in the lat four minutes of games? DG and CB had a very good game but they did not get much help on mart moves from their partners. We play the end of games like the start of a game.

There are no more excuses. This is ******** of epic proportions.

You know what happened? Wesley Johnson left because McD rode him or was too hard on him, and now he has to pussyfoot around the players because he doesn't want to lose them too.

Boo hoo hoo.

Grow a set McD. Man the **** up. Those refs deserved an *** chewing a couple times tonight, and all I see out of you is the Dan McCarney stroll and clap maneuver. That got his dumb *** fired and it will get your *** fired too.

Your job is at stake joker. Or do you just not care? Or are you unable to learn? Show some ******* passion and maybe your players will too? Huh? Ever think about that one?

**** this season.

I'd rather have meltdown than apathy, but I think apathy is fairly close for mens bball.

This is coach Mac's season. He KNOWS this has to be the year. Brackins came back to lead us there. Are you damn kidding me? If MAC doesn't take us somewhere this year he is in serious trouble. Brackins should be DEMANDING the ball on the floor and in the timeouts. Absolutely ridiculous.

Good luck battling this one moderators; it's going to be a long night of meltdowns and people not understanding why the 17th thread questioning McDermott has been closed.

GMac's Impact at ISU
Games ISU won that they should not have won = 0
Games ISU lost that they should not have lost = LOTS, including the last two
Record against the Missouri Valley = 2-8

Seriously lame.

This was/is a coaching problem, nothing else.

For Mac to survive, he had to do one or both of the following:
- Get a commitment from HB
- Make the NCAA tourney this year

He obviously missed on the first, and he's well on his way to missing the second. It's my opinion that this is the beginning of the end for Mac, he will lose the few supporters he has left.
