How does Romeo Langord only get 8 shots against an average Iowa defense??? He scores 22 on 8 freaking shots. Terrible.
8 Shots

ya, they'll look at his ppg and think he didn't get enough shots. lol
Look he is a talent. The trouble is he stands around a whole lot. That may be the offense sputtering . Is that on Miller? He needs to be driving o the bucket. That's where his strength lies.
This, it isn't Archie's fault that Romeo likes to stand in the corner and passes up open shots on the perimeter.
agree but his time at IU isn't scaring any kids away...unless those kids want to play in the NCAA tourney. lol
I think you are being sarcastic but I'm not sure......you actually think it's the players fault for standing on offense??
His off the dribble 3 when he crossed over was incredible, where has that been, oh yea Archie wants to pound it inside, idiot.
He doesn't move without the ball, and Archie can't bench him.
Wrong he needs to shoot 15-23 times a game period. Yes there will be bad shots, my god Carsen Edwards takes lots of bad shots. This is on the coaching.
Yes, that would be the players fault if he doesn't block out. You really think we don't practice blocking out during practice and the players have not been shown how to block out.
Archie's to blame for a lot of things, and he's been awful soo far. That being said, I don't blame him for Romeo's lack of aggressiveness. That's on him.
It isn't like Archie is telling him to pass up open shots on the perimeter, or going to hide in the corner. I'm pretty sure Romeo has the green light whenever he wants it, to either attack the basket or god forbid actually shoot the open 3.
Iowa used a zone most of the night. There wasn't much to drive. Quick passes and cuts without the ball were needed.
He already has the highest usage rate on the team, despite having lower true shooting percentages than Morgan and Durham. His eFG is lower than Smith's as well. You can make the case that he shoots too much...although I think his usage is probably about right. Durham's numbers would be worse if he took as many tough shots as Romeo does.
There were plenty of open shots available in the second half (that's on the coach). Unfortunately RL, RP and especially AD did not take them (that is on the players)
I'm not sure what the hell they practice it sure doesn't translate to the game.
Does the coach get credit or take the blame for anything in your world..
What a dumb question, did you not read the first sentence of the quote you replied to? Yes, he's absolutely to blame for the lack of effort of his team this year, he's also to blame for the lack of an offense for stretches, he also hardly takes Justin Smith out even though it's clear that Justin hurts us for long stretches in almost every game.
Of course Archie gets the blame, he's the head coach making 3.5 million dollars a year. He isn't going anywhere for at least 2 more years so there's no reason to continue ragging on him. He's been horrible to this point though, no question.
I think Romeo has been as advertised, IMAGINE back to the good old days and pretend there aren't any "one and done's" and this is your first year of 4 years with Romeo. You would be saying he's been awesome, but needs someone to light a fire into him without the ball and on defense. Romeo isn't any part of the problem other than maybe being a symptom of lack of fire and energy the whole team is suffering from. Plenty of debates already on whether or not this is coaching but Romeo has been as expected as a freshman.
Listen next year many on this board will be proven right or wrong. If Romeo has a good rookie year in the NBA then clearly he was underutilized by Archie, if
Jay Edwards was a better freshman, I wonder why?
Huh? You are the one who is quite incoherent. You don’t even write in complete sentences. My argument is as a coach how do you not get your star player more than 8 shots a game. There I explained it to your 5th grade education level.
Uh, Romeo averages 17 shots per game, genius.
Just another straw man argument from victor bear...
Bulk Vandehuge and now a wizard of oz reference are u trying to say something?Uh, Romeo averages 17 shots per game, genius.
Just another straw man argument from victor bear...
True! He's having a frosh year similar to Mike Woodson. Woodson teamed up with fellow Hoosier legend Kent Benson to post a 9-9 Big Ten record in 1977.
Well, I thought it was obvious...I'm saying your posts are stupid. By your attempts at deflection, I can tell it bothers you. Sorry about that, but come up with something decent.
Except we already have one signed and probably adding a second. My issue is how we can’t shoot or rebound
Asked you in another thread: Have you always bitched like this? Did you call out Crean his last 2-3 years at Indiana?
I think you can still read boards and articles but you can't post on boards.
So, he was banned - but got un-banned? Because he can post now. The mods rescinded his ban (they may want to re-think that one . . .
) ?This is an unbelievable comparison.
So a team led by the national player of the year, #1 pick in the draft paired with a high scoring freshman and surrounded by a small rebuild roster following the 76 monster, coached by one of the greatest coaches of all time would go 9-9 in the conference and 14-13 overall (I'm assuming a team like Minny had to forfeit all their games after because the record books show a 16-11 record and an 11-7 conference record...but I know it was worse).
