My bad everyone

Not to jinx it but there’s still time left and we can get it under double digits….

Here you go again, coaching staff. When they work (like they did for the high school teams I coached for 10 years) just Venmo me $100 and we’ll call it good.

We would’ve had to play perfect considering the circumstances, and we were just one level below that. Still confident we’re the better team and can learn a lot from this game.

Somehow in the bonus ahead of them can be key. Opportunity to get points every foul now.

If we can find a way to pull this out we have no limits on what we can do. On the road with refs calling multiple crazy fouls against our best player, if our supporting cast pulls this out it’s a statement win. Just praying we don’t see this as a missed opportunity like Tennessee.

And just to have a second play. Here’s slide. Get a double screen to your best scorer and then clear out for a kick-out 3. Both the screeners pop out as safety valve options if the primary option isn’t open.

I’m just a lowly high school coach, but learned this from a great mentor of mine. Here you go, Brad. “Circle” Stack your 5 and your 1, with 3 (best scorer) and 2 (or 1) standing on opposite sides of the fence/stack. 3 breaks in front of the fence, using it as a screen, 2 breaks behind, as the...

As a former high school coach, my offer still stands to show Brad a sideline out of bounds play that could consistently get us a good look at a basket.

Two things can be true. 1) Brad and staff have done an incredible job building the program and are great coaches. 2) Our inbounds plays, both BLOB and SLOB, are horrible considering the level. I coached high school for a decade, and having 4-5 BLOB/SLOB plays that generally work to generate...

I do think two things are true. Brad nails the personality and culture and “atmosphere” a team needs to win aspect of coaching. There are significant signs that scheme/Xs and Os aspect could limit us. I’m trying to remember a game or situation where a scheme or play was why we won. It’s really...

I’ve struggled to come up with !!!! talk about Iowa State after how nice their fans were in Omaha last weekend but I’ve managed. How you ask to speak to the manager when your vegan burger doesn’t come with enough ketchup How you react when lululemon is sold out of the joggers you really...

Is there intel on what the official hotels for Illinois will be?

I figured that would happen a little but Thursday nosebleed seats were literally $8 and now I’m seeing nothing below $200
