I think that they did both. First Fire, then Hire at the end of the game.Oh, you definitely heard Fire Nagy on TV - I did too - crystal clear.

True, it seems like he stayed home better and was more aware of the BIG picture. Yes, I agree his footwork was improved...THAT IS when he kept them on the ground. Getting hung up in the air all the time is his biggest problem IMO. He never met a fake he didn’t jump at. Still, I’d have to say I think you’re right…something is starting to click.I started watching his feet last night. He's good with his footwork and getting into position where he needs to be. Reaching is what seems to get him in trouble, but that tie-up he had gives me hope that he might be settling in.
Because Trent did. I think if he hadn’t been able to go, Podz would have seen some time. So with Trent able to go and the team really needing to put forth an all around good performance, Podz got squeezed out by Trent (32 minutes), Plummer (35) and DMW (36). I hope he’s not getting discouraged, and I was happy to see him very animated on bench.Anyone know why Podz didn't play ??
I think it’s a combination of two things. First of all the concussion protocol is taken very seriously these days. Look at some other sports including car racing and see what happens to people who suffered subsequent concussions when they are recovering from the first one.Sure. But I'd imagine, any type of physical exertion would cause symptoms to start up. That's the nature of post concussive symptoms.
I'm notI disagree, at least for this game. He is a bit small for a center, but perfectly fits in defending PFs (there are many team in NCAA whose only big man on court is a PF). I am looking forward to seeing him guarding Trayce Jackson-Davis
Definitely possible I thought I initially heard Fire Nagy but then Hummel said on broadcast that they got an "update" on what crowd was saying which was Hire Nagy. Either way funny stuff!I think that they did both. First Fire, then Hire at the end of the game.
it's not that. he's dealing with something a bit more minor but the time off should have helped. should see him back out there soon (Friday)Post concussion syndrome, if that is in fact what Curbelo is working through, can be a serious thing. Justin Morneau, the former all-star first baseman for the Twins, missed more than half a season because of it. Corey Koskie, former Brewers third baseman, missed a season and a half.
If true (that it's more minor), then that is wonderful news (for him and for us). I just hope he doesn't rush back out there before he is ready.it's not that. he's dealing with something a bit more minor but the time off should have helped. should see him back out there soon (Friday)
Appreciate the info. Hoping the time off lets him get fully healthy... and not have to deal with any ongoing nagging injuries that hamper his play.it's not that. he's dealing with something a bit more minor but the time off should have helped. should see him back out there soon (Friday)
I think once Trent came in, he never sat. I wonder if they were afraid his ankle would swell if he sat.Because Trent did. I think if he hadn’t been able to go, Podz would have seen some time.

RJ and Goode might be a little further along right now, but I think the positions they play have probably been a key reason for them getting more playing time too. Podz was ill in the one game he might have received some decent tick, so only played 2 minutes. He’s battling AC, Trent and Plummer for minutes — as well as Hutch and DMW since AC has been out. Plummer isn’t gonna sit much while he’s number 2 scoring option, DMW has brought a much needed steadiness, and Trent is . . . well Trent.
We go over every high ball screen to take away the three and force players to try to finish over Kofi, who generally sits in the lane/around the free throw line on high ball screens, or make a longish two point jumper. It makes sense because statistically if you can force the other team to take long twos, that gives you a good chance. We did this last year as well and the only team I remember it not working well against was OSU. But that should be an easy in game adjustment on certain players, we just didn’t do it.Yeah, I agree. How they play specific players coming off ball screens is no doubt scouting report informed. (Or it is SUPPOSED to be) AND in general…going over the top is sort of the most common/default way to guard it…Yet, it definitely seems there are certainly situations we’d be better served going under the screen than over it. I think we’ll continue to clean that up.
I don’t think I’d say excellent execution just yet. But yeah, much much better.

Yep. I get it.…On-ball defender fights over the top, therefore the help D is in drop……I’m with ya on all that.

It isnt working now and has not worked in last games since loyola. Teams are driving with impunity to the basket. Kofi can not move any more than a tree can on defense near the hoopWe go over every high ball screen to take away the three and force players to try to finish over Kofi, who generally sits in the lane/around the free throw line on high ball screens, or make a longish two point jumper.

"Trent’s here, Trent’s there, Trent’s f*cking everywhere!" Thank you for being Roy Kent tough!
I just read Robert’s (illiniboard) write-up on this game, scrolled through the comments, and found this one about Trent:
I really think the Krush should adopt that for games this year!
If you have no idea what this references, do yourself a favor and go watch Ted Lasso.

AND yes analytics is no friend to the long two.
I guess I didn’t know Illinois players were instructed to automatically go high on all high ball screens…but I’ll buy that. And then his philosophy on side ball-screens is to either ice or hedge everything? Bigs still in drop coverage…correct?
One thing though…can we add Loyola to your list of one? (Ohio State)
I don’t wanna re-hash that frustrating loss… but surely you think we should have attempted going under the screens that day right? (If we weren’t gonna try a zone that is.)
