Most great players do the majority of the work on their own. He doesn’t want it bad enough. 

what are you even talking about? roach does a ton of work *on his game* on his own/with his trainer. it's in his head coach to teach him the game of basketball, and aside from slightly improving his same skill set every year his mental game essentially has not improved. that's not something that a player works at on his own, that's 100% coaching.

 

stop quoting literally every post i make with your lame ass defenses of shaka smart. go do that shit to any of the other dozen people in this thread who are also trashing him. 

Gawd dang it motherf*cker sonofabitch chicken sh*t crap, I’m sick of watching bad basketball from top players.

the fact that he still makes the exact same mistakes he's made his entire career after three years with shaka is near the top of our list of worries. 

yeah I'm just saying his actual play is not the issue.

Jfc.  The score panel at the bottom ran out of room to list our foul total.

When’s guy named lindy is beating you then you should be fired.

you mean Eddie Furlong?  He's from the future so he already knows what to do.

Blaming the coach is the easy lazy critique. Weve gotten good shots all game and just been missing. It happens. They’re playing above thier heads at home after losing their first two conference games. It happens. None of this is on Smart tbh

I’m not defending Shaka at all. Not once. Just pointing out you don’t know shit as usual.

None of this is on Smart? Good Lord.

True, officiating has been one sided, but it shouldn't matter--Okie Lite is that bad. They will win three or four games in league this year, and we are going to give them one of those.

you have to be a troll.  we suck.  OSU is playing horrible save for one guy.  they are awful.  this loss will be worse than Radford.  this shitty shooting has been going on for 3 years.  that is on the coach.

Yep. This team, as poorly as it’s coached, should be a one loss team. Sad we wasted this conference gimme with a real chance to get ahead at home Saturday.

sorry but this is fucking stupid.  Try to explain what they are trying to do on offense.  you can't because they don't have an idea.

i believe that you believe what you're saying, even though it's patently absurd. "the majority of great players improve their basketball IQ on their own." that's one of the stupidest things i've seen typed here today, and somebody just said that none of this is mess is on shaka, so the bar is pretty fucking low. 

also don't let the fact that literally nobody here has been even close to as right about this program as i have during Shaka's tenure, from player expectations to Shaka's ability to coach during his time here. just go ahead and keep pretending that's not real.

This is like a Charlie Strong apologist mad lib with basketball words filled in.

hes trolling.

We have an offense heavily dependent on the three point shot. We suck dick at shooting the 3 pt shot. If you don't blame that on the coach, who ya gonna blame it on?

We’ve gotten open threes and missed. We’ve gotten to the basket and missed layups. We’ve been out rebounded by a bad rebounding team. They’re making threes despite being a bad outside shooting team. Yes this game is not on Smart.

That’s not what I said, not even close.

Actually, you're both right. Players have to work like hell to improve and most of that has to come on their own time, from their own initiative.

A coach's role is to teach and motivate in a way that provides guidance and structure to that effort.

It looks to me that they’re trying to do the same shit they did against K-State and WVU. We won both of the games decisively. Did you whine then? Probably not

i'm the one who earlier in the year got yelled at for saying that Roach's improvement on his game has come down to his work on his own time with his trainer. now i'm being lectured on players improving on their own time. it's very very simple:

players spend 10x more time working on their actual *game* with their trainers and in their free time than they do with their HC. The work on their *game* largely comes from work done away from the HC.

The mental game is the job of the coach. Period. Always has been, always will be. When your players failed to improve their basketball IQ year after year after year, that's coaching. Look at Shaka's multi year players- Roach, DO, Sims, EDJ,   Young, etc. None of them were punished for their bad habits (until Roach about two weeks ago), and none of them improved their mental game. they all made the same mental mistakes their entire career. to say that the blame for this falls on these players is, as i've already said, patently absurd.
