Woodson’s offense

I’m not sure I’ve seen a screen away from the ball in 3 seasons.
Are you serious?
They run this for Mbako every game. Ran this a lot today but Illinois was ready for it.

Yep. It is pretty much all post, bad guards try to penetrate against a packed lane, ball screens, some zoom action. Woody obviously doesn't know how to recruit for the system he runs, and it isn't much of an offense, anyways.
Kopp would basically hang out in the corner and was an afterthought until penetration and help opened him up. Shooting just isn't very important to Woody, which is strange and producing obvious poor results.
None of this is remotely true ...

You still wanting validation? You say enough dumb shit to offset that and I just showed you they run a play with an off ball screen. Now shit the f up.
Sure but you really said some dumb shit. I told u in October that we had no shooting but u said we had 5 lol. What the hell were u watching lmao.
Woodson has some nice sets. A few repeat game to game as far as I observe. My preference is to run something continuously so that they get comfortable and get better at timing things. I still prefer a lot more movement without the ball and they need better execution, especially with screens and cutting-just way to lax on those.
But if they had better outside shooting, better defense, and better rebounding and free throw shooting, we'd all be fine with the offense.

With Ware, MR, and MM on the court, we should be running with MM running fastest. Get it down low fast, kick out for wide open 3, MM plays of a screen or backdoor cut. We don't need to hit most of the threes to be a good team, the problem I have is that it isn't even used as a threat.
Woodson himself stated that it wasn’t his job to create shots for Kopp. Surprised to hear him say that, given I think Miller shot 45% from 3.
Saw some wrinkles tonight, to more creatively get Malik the ball on the block that personally hadn’t noticed before. Which is nice.
At this point, Woody is trying to win games with this group. Completely 180ing and running tons of wide open sets to get Trey and Mack shots on the perimeter just isn’t feasible.
I’d be fine if he did that. In an attempt to market to potential HS recruits and portal recruits that he realizes the need to change. But he isn’t gonna do that mid season.
We are who he built and created. And until he commits himself, his staff, and his recruiting efforts to changing it, it is what it is.

This is pretty much what I saw today with Reneau.. Looks like Mike Woodson stole the blender from the Tropics.
Hopefully, it is only his job for 2-3 more months. He needs to return whatever money he's been paid to coach this year.
anyone recall the ‘83-‘84 season, when iu lost 83% of their scoring from the year prior’s (Kitchell, Wittman, J Thomas, T Brown and Bouchie) BT champion team?
Coach Knight knew he needed to score the ball because the likes of Dakich, Blab, Winston Morgan, Courtney Witte, Stew Robinson, Giomi and Franz weren’t going to do much of that. But, he had 2 bad defensive/great offensive weapons in Steve Alford and Marty Simmons. He basically made those 2 frosh the focal point of the O from day 1. Then as teams geared to stop them, the above guys scored and rebounded enough to get IU to a surprising 13-5 league record.
We know Woody is no Coach Knight, but for god’s sake, when you have a weapon like Mgbako, who’s strong suit is big time shooter, can he occasionally draw up something, ANYTHING to get the guy some open looks?!?!?!?

This is where a good coach earns his money and shows why he is a good coach: he finds a way to win with what he's got and makes adjustments. However, I think Woody is stubborn and/or incapable of doing this.
Purdue has a very good offense.

MM as a shooter so far: 2 point shot-40.6% 3 point shot-32.9% Not really that good 5*****?
TG as a shooter so far: 46.7% OK 28.4% Not really that good Senior???
TG final stats last year 47.8 % OK 46.2% Great We miss this
MM isnt as great as people make him out to be. TG has gone the wrong direction. Run screens to get them open but someone has to get better at shooting the ball.
