Dakich says he stinks too. Dakich coached basketball like you. You guys are definite experts!
Is our offense better without Romeo?

Stupid piled on top of stupid. Every time you post you reach a new low.
I really do hope you are a troll who just posts to inflame and then goes away laughing at people like me who take the bait. If you really are an IU fan who believes the chronically ignorant shit you post, our fan base deserves any ridicule the PUkes and pUKes post about us.
Another lie. Dakich has said no such thing. Now you are adding pathological lying to your resume', just below chronically stupid.
Yes he did he made some reference to Schilling making the players do dribbling drills while brushing their teeth! How could I make that up
I didn't hear the reference but I would bet that it was said in a context that did nothing at all to suggest that Schilling can't coach. But I can see how your tiny brain and massive bias would twist something innocuous into a condemnation (you probably will need some time to look up those terms).
i agree with all that except not fixing technique issues in season. if a player is adequate and a senior i may not bother. otherwise, i am teaching and correcting all phases, every day. i know a lot of people say if you haven't learned to shoot by the time you are in college it's too late.., blah, blah, blah. i have never found it difficult to correct shooting form. of course, i never coached past high school. myself, i became a better shooter in my mid twenties by perfecting my form. now, as an old ****er, i recently tweaked my form again. i had to lower my release to compensate for decreased strength. has really helped with my range and accuracy
Agree with most of these posts. Wish everyone would play with Al’s hustle. And something definitely happened with the team. But if Archie couldn’t handle the Romeo situation, that’s not good. What happens when the next elite player comes. The coach has to have the ability to control it and make the tough decisions. Not to always refer to RMK , but he distributed the wrath equally. And that built chemistry. Can’t play favorites. Causes animosity among the team. Just read where Coby White is rated higher then RL. Not to criticize RL , but the difference between CW and RL regarding movement , aggressiveness , and leadership is huge. Can’t quite pinpoint what it is with Romeo. Good kid , with ok numbers , and potential, just doesn’t seem to have the killer instinct. Didn’t see him in high school, same demeanor?
Was your sister expecting it or did you surprise her?
Knight was actually hardest on his best players. He made sure no one thought he was playing favorites.
Bingo
It made the rest of the team respect the best player more....vs what Davis did with Bracey, Crean did with Noah and ImI guessing Archie (and this fanbase did with Romeo).
I don't doubt that they work at it in-season, but practice time is limited both by rule and by circumstance. Besides, a lot of players revert to what is comfortable in the stress of a game. I don't think it's at all fair to assume that the coaches and the kid aren't working on it because the desired result hasn't happened. If it were that simple, every player on every team would be stellar at this point in the season.
Knight would actually hold his "stars" responsible for other players' screwups. Alford was all the time getting his ass chewed for something Uwe did. When the star took the fire for you, you ended up listening to the star and playing your ass off for him.
Not saying that you are totally wrong, but with today's kids... there was a reason RMK struggled in the late 90s early 2000s with big wins and transfers. It is a definite balancing act with their egos.
not all kids can shoot but they can all be taught proper technique. i pulled players out of practice and made them practice shooting against a wall. could not join practice again until their stroke was right. it's the coaches, not the players, who lack the discipline to see it through
How many practices have you been to at IU ? As a coach you ought to know better than anyone how insulting it is to have fans who watch games on tv make assumptions about what you teach and do not teach in practice. Through all the years I coached I emphasized the same things in practice. I had some teams that shot the ball really well and others that struggled. Same with free throws - which we shot daily, charted, shot in situations, shot under pressure of conditioning, etc. Without fail, when I had a team that shot poorly from the line in a game or a stretch of games, some asshole would take it upon himself to let me know that we ought to be shooting more free throws in practice.
Unless you've been sitting in on practice, it's a lousy thing to be on a message board spouting unfounded allegations about what coaches should be doing and whether they have the "discipline" needed.
if you comprehended what i said you would understand i emphasized shooting form, not success. in any event, you need to calm down
