Shouldn't we ensure that we get the ball into an IU player's hands to give him a chance to do something good? Three seconds is plenty of time to get a good look. Woody is the worst.
A hail Mary with over three seconds left was Woody's best play?

The play call was fine. Execution was awful. Trey over threw it. Malik over ran it. He was supposed to catch it and kick to the wing. Could have worked if they had executed the pass.
Rice was supposed to come off and he didn't.
Oops, that was the excuse last time.

Yes, yes to all of this.
But they played hard. TIC
Dudes are making six, seven figures and guys on here are impressed that they played hard. It's minor league basketball now.
They needed to run a play that ensured that perfect execution wasn't required to get the ball into the hands of an IU player. A full-court pass was just dumb.
Almost like it was something they never practiced?
These shouldn’t be tough plays to execute, at least to make a catchable pass there. They obviously don’t work on these things in practice.
Good effort. Can’t wait to have a coach that has his guys ready for end game situations.
I suspect they don’t have a reliable play call in that situation. Because they’ve not worked on anything.
Your first responsibility as a coach is to run a play that ensures your team can take possession of the ball and then trust your Jimmies and Joes to make a play. It was bad strategy. Trey should not have had the option to throw a Hail Mary. Coach your ****ing team.
No No chance Should not have even come down to this. The play before lost the game. In the wrong guys hand. Stunk it up when he played earlier in the game. Three guys had hot hands and they dont get the ball? Rice is Mr clutch? Woody and the whole team should be gone when season ends.
Our $5 million dollar roster will finish with 13 or 14 losses.
The play call was fine. He was trying to avoid having Purdue foul us on the inbound or first dribble. Execution sucked. We lost tonight because we can’t shoot free throws and turned it over way too much.
We hit one more FG and 5 more 3s than PU
Fouls IU 21. PU 14
FTs
IU 9-16
PU. 21-28
Game was won/lost on free throws. We outscored them from the field 67-60
Reneau fouls out playing only 8 min.
Rice goes 0 for the game but tries hero ball on last shot.
Game was winnable. The team just doesn’t know how to win games like this.

this program is in desperate need for a rock star point guard.and not a OAD. Multi yr Yogi type stud.
Malik was terrible tonight. 5 fouls, 3 turnovers and a 3 point attempt which was basically a turnover. Goode should have played in his place.
Didn’t watch the game… and can’t watch the games anymore…that right there is the biggest kick in the ass. I hate admitting I can’t watch the games because I’ve lived through all the great basketball years at IU… was a junior there in ‘87 for the Championship. Got to have both the coach and players want to be the BEST!! Have pride in what they do.
You are correct, Galloway had been getting open. This staff screwed up an outstanding effort by the players.
I believe they were trying to draw defensive pass interference?
Well Bob Uecker may have died last week, but Someone has to say it. ""Just a little Outside."
Looked familiar...
Malik has been terrible his last three games. I’m am so done with that guy, tired of seeing his mug, seeing his floppy corn-rolls, complaining of every way-too-many fouls. What is it? Is he so slow afoot that he has to reach out his arms in desperation to defend? Is there a hint of clumsiness to his coordination? He’s been a major disappointment. Maybe his nose is out of joint after watching our more productive one big man team from the bench. Woody should only use him to spell Ballo relief. He doesn’t deserve to keep starting.
I have a great full court inbounds play for under 5 seconds. My 12U team could run it really well. Call me Mike.
I agree. If IU tried to dribble length of court they would have fouled up three.
I would love to know if Woodson practices last second plays like that.
Why do we not recruit guys that WANT to play at IU. When we pay guys to play that is exactly what we get. Guys collect a check and could care less how hard they play. Ballo was supposed to be the huge get at center and these guards were supposed to take care of our guard play and really improve our shooting.
B1G channel showing replay this morning. Rice had the ball at midcourt with 9 seconds left and we still had 2 time outs. Down 1 pt. Call a TO and run a half court set play. Rice goes head down and drives to shoot, even Gallo and Goode giving arm gestures to Rice like Dude, wtf?
Another experienced candidate for interim coach that would be an upgrade.
That play call was a good one. The execution was horrendous. My theory is they probably rarely practice those end of game plays/situations. Trey sure looked like he's basically never thrown that pass before. And Malik, for sure, acted as if he's never practiced receiving it.
But the play call itself...not bad, at all. In the end, I suspect the main problem was Trey's throw. If it had been more on line, and lower, Malik charging forward had created some space for himself. He's a decent shooter, or he had a wing right there too if that guys defender were to head over to help on Malik at all.
I think that particular play is a pretty good one now a days, to limit the chances of the other team fouling before you can get a shot off.
The other alternative, run the "wheel" type action and get the ball to someone moving sideways around half court, and let them dribble in to the front court. Purdue, most likely fouls that guy before they can get in to shooting position. Then you take your chances making the first free throw, and intentionally missing the second, trying to get a put back of some sort.
The worst thing that can happen, in that situation, is not being able to hit someone with the inbounds pass. The odds of success are low enough as it is, they're obviously zero if you can't hit that first pass.
I thought they'd try to run something with the initial pass near half court to maybe get someone in a position to shoot before the foul, and if they do foul, take your chances on a missed 2nd free throw. I couldn't understand why they'd try such a low percentage pass like that, even if thrown perfectly.
The coaching in the last minute of the past 2 games is inexcusable.
