What y’all think, more time spent

He gave it a “woah”. My man would not do well in an urban setting lol.
Thought I heard somewhere that f bombs earn you a blackmark that can earn you a YT ban. I'm guessing that's why he wasn't thrilled with it.
 
Leal has nothing to do with making IU a a laughing stock.
Well he does have memes posted from national accounts of kicking people in the nuts with clown music in the background that got millions of views on social media. I call that a laughing stock, not sure how you could not…..

Because I'm not scouring social media looking for any shred that casts shade at Leal. I wish we were better and he didn't, but he helped make us competitive at the end of the year. I put that more on the coach and the other players. If everyone came in and played hard and smart, he'd not see the floor more than backup minutes or a few minutes a game. But, we have a bunch of guys who don't know what it means to commit effort on both ends of the floor throughout the game, which is why a flawed, average athlete like Leal really improved our level of play.

Don’t have to scour very far. He’s as dumb as some of our fans. How he could say we are one of the best teams in the country is just pure insanity.
 
He has been around woodson too long he is stating to sound just as delusional as woodson.

More delusional I’d argue. 500k we gave him. UNREAL the entitlement these kids are learning. Damn that real world is gonna hit hard. Good luck 🐜
 
More time spent creating a team and less just throwing money at guys. Have a vision and system and recruit to it.
For sure. I think the system matters but it doesn't matter that much. What I mean is I would rather have an average system taught exceptionally well rather than an exceptional system taught in an average way.

Man... you're something. What, in THE HELL, would you expect him to say? "Nah man, we're average, we'll be lucky to get in." He even quantified the "we're one of the best teams in the country" part with "we're one of the top 64 teams"...

I should have made the FTs to put us in a better position to win, hope the committee gives us an opportunity to play another game. You know, like a leader.

Was he asked about the free throws? What was the original question? Sounded like it was what he thought about their NCAA tournament chances? Talking about free throws would be odd. No?

Not odd at all, if they win the game they are for sure in. He missed the FTs that led to them not getting back in the game.

I do kind of like Cav's response on that one. Maybe even better "We should have worked harder all season so there wasn't a question about making the tournament. We hope the committee gives us a chance...." don't even make it about the last game or a couple of free throws. It's like when people blame bad officiating for a loss. You've got to play well enough that a few bad calls (which are inevitable) are not the difference maker. Play well enough that one win or loss is not a difference maker. I don't care that he missed two free throws; it happens. But for him it happens more than it should, and for the team they didn't play well in enough games to remove any questions of whether they are good enough to make the cut.

he also should be smart enough to know the tourney isn't the top 64 teams due to the auto-bids from the smaller conferences and tourney upsets. Past data shows once your net drops to 50 and lower, if you aren't an auto-bid, you've got some worrying to do.

What would you say to Hoosier supporters...ahead of selection Sunday? And you think he should have dove in to personal mistakes, and how they should have been better?

I agree its dumb, selection committees aren't watching Anthony Leal interviews...but his answer, with the intent of appealing to them, is how basically everyone would respond when they do still have a chance to make the tournament. When they miss it...then sure...lets see what he and others say. Some version of mea culpa, at that point, would be expected and normal.
 
Not convinced that with a win we are "for sure in" but better chance, no doubt. Conference tournament wins supposedly don't matter as much.
