It almost seems like he doesn't really want to and is just happy to be here with no idea how it happened.

Quote from: Mixed-Nutz on January 04, 2015, 02:44:16 PMI also don't think defense is no longer the problem, has turned around in the process of the last 2.5 games. Scoring is becoming a huge issue and is compounded with youthful point guard play.We are a Gip injury away from a nightmare situation. Oh defense is still a huge problem, but not having great (or even good) offense is a big problem. We had a great offensive game against aTm (and a terrible Savannah State team), but other than that our offense has been below 1.00 points per possession for the last month. TOs still are the biggest issue, but we aren't shooting it well either. If we continue to allow teams to shoot 51% or better then yeah, this is a serious recipe for disaster.

And idea how much of our problems on defense are related to turnovers on offense leading to easy transition baskets? It seems like lately when we're in the half court, we're playing solid defense. Also, our transition defense seems to suck.

Which we will require because we're going to be carrying around oscar's contract around like an albatross for the next few years.You keep saying that, but I don't think it is true. I'm pretty sure Dax posted the contract and it said at most $2.5 million is owed and we can subtract any coaching earnings he makes from someone else. Currie negotiated a really good buyout as I understand it. Which I may not understand it at all.

It seems like lately when we're in the half court, we're playing solid defense. Also, our transition defense seems to suck.Its sort of a tough stat to track. You have bottom of the boxscore stats like points off turnovers and fast break points. Right now on average the Cats are outscored 16.4-14.9 on points off turnovers and 6.9 to 7.8 on fast break points.Then you have hoop-math.com which tracks shot types, when shots occur, etc. Here is our defensive chart so far this year.

I found the original .pdf. We'd only owe oscar $2.5 million to be paid in 30 day increments over a 24 month period. So, theoretically, we'd be on the hook for $1.25m a year for two years.Thanks for pointing that out.

Quote from: pissclams on January 04, 2015, 01:15:10 PMnot trying to give him an excuse- I just really think he's a bumbling rough ridin' idiotI totally agree. I remember formulating this opinion when he took over at Illinois, and reading about his fake funeral for Bill Self and the ridiculous comments he made during that time about Self. So, the day he was announced as our head coach I was very angry. I want him to just go away.
Cargo Jorts?????!!!!??!?!?!
