Dave and Silvio?
I think we will figure out the TO problem.
Do you get those capital one ads with Jennifer Gardner? Most annoying. Had my volume on mute and was scrambling for remote to turn her down.
@KirkIsMyHinrich haha you got me with that.
Lol vital
@BeddieKU23 enjoyed your exposition on Doke. I agree that his effectiveness in the paint is freakish enough that he's worthy of his own line of statistical reasoning that defies conventional 3 > 2 per possession logic. However that is only the case if he shoots FTs well. It's the last piece to being extremely good at being a 2 point conversion expert. I don't know the magic number in FT%.
But consider 70% means he makes both FTs 49% of the time. That's my guess. 70%. He can obviously finish through contact as well.
Looking forward to lots of this:
In game they showed him coaching up his players, mic'd up. His advice and body language was poor. I would not feel like I gained anything except a breather if I was player. I was definitely wrong about Shaka. I thought his success at VCU would translate, but he's in way over his head.
Wow that's perfect ! Tyty
Thanks for this. Good stuff! Possible to show minutes too per game? that plays a big factor

dusting thing spreadsheet off. I could add this years percentages (not totals obviously) to compare. Check out opponent min column then find corresponding year for each stat.
Thank you for this opportunity to achieve comic serendipity @BShark.
River (RIP) -> Juaquin
Proehm (RIP in your joke) -> ?
Joker in Dark Knight (River) -> Joker in Joker (Juaquin)
Jokers = Cyclowns
Proehm = Juaquin doppelganger.
It's all happeningggg maaaannnn!
@Marco I haven't seen it yet either but want to.
@mayjay I can appreciate that. But I also think @FarmerJayhawk 's comment about their rotation not having players who were top 100 recruits shows that the scouts might agree objectively with Roy's assessment.
Longhorns on. RIP hudy
ESPN 2 showing nice Kansas highlights and analysis
@BShark yeah. But I will consider our loss of the B12 an anomolie unless it happens again. Top 1 middle 3 bottom 6. Tight in those clusters.
Man. This guy.
"The parity in this league"
Timeout!
His brother Juaquin will have to carry the torch as new head coach.

So our defense is really good.
Who would have thought losing Moore, Grimes, Dedric, and KJ would have made a difference defensively?
Speaking of dead weight don't forgot 20 lbs doke lost.
EJ is smiling somewhere.

I would like Braun much better if he would pronounce his name correctly....
@jessejayhawk not lichen Moss's game?

North Carolina just lost to Pitt at Chapel. That's their 7th loss of the season.
This is the least talented Roy I've ever seen coach.
The only diehard Iowa State fan I knew here moved to Austin, Texas. At least he didnt move to Lawrence.
@jessejayhawk lol good one.

@jessejayhawk He might make it in the NBA with that kind of free throw shooting.
There's a thought. 77% from the floor, 80% from the line.
Missed self going to locker room for interview...
Oof
Well Bill lauded with hyperbole several guys including Braun in the offseason. It was bound to stick somewhere
Bill smiling. Bout time for an ISU run to start the half :)
@BShark looks like the bench on my 8 year olds team.
Ok give me one dot, one doke and 13 brauns
Downtown Braun
I can tune these knuckleheads out. Give me literally anyone over Vitale Fran or Walton
Hmm
Glankles.
I'll take Boynton as well. Surprised everyone feels the same way. I'm going by how he coached his first year there with a not great team.

@approxinfinity Maybe he heard too many excuses like "I couldn't [get to a spot, catch the pass, get through a pick, get back fast enough on defense, block out the rebounder, catch my breath, etc etc etc]" and so decided to use the public comment to challenge an "I can't" attitude.
"I can't" are two words no parent, teacher, mentor or coach ever wants to hear, or allow to fester.
I'm not following the logic. Telling the kids they are not talented enough to succeed is the biggest "You can't" he could drop on them. You're born with talent, or you're not. I guess if he's "leaning in" to their "I can't" mentality, maybe? But I think he believes his words. They're the least talented team he's coached. And I think that's a cruel thing to say.
Self's most cruel comment was:
“It’s the worst team Kansas has ever put on the floor since Dr. Naismith was here. I think he had some bad teams when he lost to Topeka YMCA in his first couple years.”
And even that has the silver lining that a bad team can be constructed of talented individuals.
Telling the public that the kids you coach [who undoubtedly have NBA aspirations] aren't talented is savage, and certainly makes me want to mock his dagum gollyjee bullcrap. When times get rough, Roy goes full Weber. I think you nailed it @BShark
Seems like a no no to call your team "not gifted".
@jayballer73 I don't know if we should pull out of Iraq or not.
Yeah, the Republicans have discussed war with Iran for a while
@DoubleDD I wish we had a president with a level disposition and a clear understanding of how to negotiate multilateral treaties. That's exactly what I mean.
I think Soleimani was bad news. Trump vowed to put a stop to endless war on the campaign stump. Now he's assassinating generals of countries we aren't at war with. This sets a new precedent, even if Soleimani was a problem. I hope this calms down and doesn't blow up. Trump saying stuff like "if they retaliate they'll be hit like they've never been hit before" is stupid posturing, and doesn't help.
It's times like these that I wish we had a president with a level disposition and a clear understanding of how to negotiate multilateral treaties.
@Marco Dot may be the quickest player in college basketball and possibly the quickest player self has ever had that's got to count for something
Question for you guys. In Self's first season who brought the ball up? Miles was about as pass first as you can get. because there seems to be a trend of having the second option be Self's pass first guard (finding the "third side"), how did that play out with Roy's personnel and how far back did this philosophy for Self go? It did seem to be present even with Mario (and sherron) and Russ Robb and the pass first second guard.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I dont really think this about being fair. I'm not saying Devon doesn't have a high ceiling. I'm trying to discuss just what is best for the team.
We have championship expectations. What puts us in the best position to win?
If the answer is that Devon can't improve his 3pt shooting mid season or his assist to turnover ratio, then I think the answer is Marcus handling the ball more.
