Yes…. guys that play well fast🙂 Wagler did great with keeping a snails pace. Coleman looks like he plays better up tempo …. the game was fast last night and the passing was quick with very little dribbling… interesting change! Fun stuff…. run run run🙂

Fascinating. Coleman is definitely twitchier, but that's a fairly significant shift for one player.

To put this further into perspective:

Illinois scored 1.591 points per possession.
FDU scored 0.597 points per possession.

That mathematically means that if the two teams played 100 possessions, Illinois would win by:

159.1 - 59.7 = 99.4 points (!)

.....

The actual game was 75 possessions and Illinois won by.... 75 points.

It was probably just a bad game and ramping up to real moments that matter, but it seemed like they're working on something with him that's giving him some hesitancy on the defensive end. Not sure if it's getting burned on pump fakes or something, but he seemed like he was second-guessing himself on the defense, or just didn't really have the dog in him that I remembered last year. Honestly, I was thinking that he looked more like Carey Booth on defense than the Z we know and love. I'm sure it's just ramp-up stuff that he'll get past.

Hope so.

Makes me wonder if he's nursing some injury. He looks stiff at times.

You think someone who’s one of the greatest offensive minds of his generation (crafted the #3, #14, and #2 offenses in the country by age 29 (the first 3 offenses of his career) and is on pace for the #1 offense at 30) was a hire worth criticizing as our 5th and lowest paid assistant at 24?

There is a big difference between questioning and criticizing. I saw far more questioning in the forum than criticizing.
