it would get bumped after big wins too
Big come-from-behind win today over 5-5 (now 5-6) UMKC (though, to be slightly fair, the Roos did beat a bad Missouri team last week). It's been a while since I've seen Mittie's "coaching" in person, but what a god damn loser. During timeouts, he spends 50-75 percent of the time just standing there, not engaging his players, sometimes chatting with an assistant coach and then he goes into the huddle with 30 seconds left. It's bizarre. I lost count, but the team had at least three turnovers coming out of timeouts when, in theory, he would have called a set play.
In this game, Williams scores 13 points in the first half on 5-of-7 shooting. Then, she gets ONE shot in the second half. Lee had a very solid game and was getting touches, but for this staff to not get their players to get the team's best player the ball in the second half during a close/back-and-forth game was amazing. Carr was an enormous black hole that resulted in a missed shot (1-for-9 in the game) or a turnover (led the team with 4). She kept chucking shots that weren't anywhere close to going in. During one particularly poor sequence, K-State gets a steal and Carr's got a one-on-one fastbreak - no brainer, just to go straight to the rim. Nope, she stops and nearly air balls a 15-footer instead. A legit top 30 national player should be playing better.
There's a fair bit of talent on this team, but Mittie is currently pissing it away.
