What part of Markus being in the play and a distraction do you not understand? Are you that dense? Creighton would have overplayed the sh$t out of Markus and he’d have drawn 2 defenders giving Sam a better look than he got. Thanks for playing, Beta.
Are you really this dumb?
What part of "we are 100% sure that Wojo's play worked" do you not understand? Are you that dense?You know what, Ners, as I already have said, I might have tried to draw up something similar to your play. It makes sense to have Markus as a decoy. I won't even go into Wojo perhaps trusting Markus more than JCS to throw that clutch pass; what you suggest certainly is reasonable.But you are working really, really hard here to show how brilliant you are and how brilliant Wojo isn't -- especially given that Stoopid Wojo's stoopid play worked to absolute perfection. How stoopid!Of course, you would have run something better than the plays for Bryce Drew and Kris Jenkins if you were the Valpo and Nova coaches in those games, too. For you are Ners, and you once dunked a basketball.
Haha! Yes, it takes an alpha male to continue to come back to multiple basketball forums you’ve been banned from multiple times. If it wasn’t so embarrassing that it’s literally sad I’d say it was hilarious.What’s also hilarious is you claim it gets harder and harder to stay true to my stance on Wojo as the number of people supporting him has dropped to about 3 on this board. So which is it bud? Am I a beta yes man or am I one of 3 Wojo supporters? Have it both ways. I’d expect nothing less.I lied. This is effing hysterical. Now we’re not just flaunting our athletic accomplishments but we’re flaunting what a manly man we are for always coming back to basketball forums!
If you think that point makes me dumb, well, that makes you look even dumber.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
So anyone who would put Markus as an inbounder in that situation instead of as a decoy is dumb? I can see validity for both strategies.
Chartouny with 0 assists and 4 turnovers on Saturday. That's the guy I want to make a pass with the game on the line.But I'm a band member so what do I know, hey?
Yes.And those trying to suggest otherwise should just stop digging themselves a deeper hole of pretzel logic and ignorance.
So Wojo is dumb.
I'd be fine with Chartouny making the inbounds pass and Howard playing the decoy.I'd be fine with Howard making the inbounds pass and Chartouny playing the decoy. I'm obviously ecstatic with how this one worked out.Both decisions have merit. One probably leads to a better pass. The other probably leads to a more open shot.Trying to use preference for one or the other as proof that a fan or a coach doesn't know basketball is dumb.
It was not an example of great coaching on the fly...
"Chartouney playing the decoy." Come on TAMU, you are brighter than that.
You said that anyone who would do that is dumb. Ergo Wojo is dumb. This is why absolutes are dumb. I don't understand. Chartouny is 4th on the team in both 3PM and 3P%, hitting at a 37% clip. If you watch the replay he draws a Creighton defender to the other side of the floor away from Sam. Is that not being a decoy?One of the biggest plays in Marquette history, Vander's lay in against Davidson had something similar where Jake Thomas (who was a 27% 3P shooter and had made less 3Ps all season than Chartouny has made so far this season) was subbed in for the specific purpose of drawing one of Davidson's defenders out of the lane.
As for being banned from Scoop and Dodds board because I didn't toe the company line, and acquiesce and change my opinions to conform (to being supportive of the coaching decisions of Buzz and Wojo to maximize Derrick Wilson's playing time)? I'm totally at peace. Why would I re-evaluate and desire to become a sheep and a "yes man?" Talk about a sad reality and way to go through life? Yet, I'm sure it is one you've mastered, no doubt as a beta.

This is amusing. Mainly because the only company line we ask to toe is that of Arby's.
Comparing Chartouney as a decoy to Markus as a decoy is insult to Markus.
Or it was an excellent job of preparation. I mean, even my JV HS team practiced end of game situations. Down 3, one second left, ball inbounded from offensive baseline, specifically inbounded from that spot. A pretty basic scenario to practice. In fact, I'd be very concerned if Wojo has not practiced that scenario all season.So Wojo calls the play they've practiced for just such a scenario in the 3 second speed huddle. It's a pretty simple play with only two reads. First read is Joey in the corner, who is either wide open or covered by the switching big.The Creighton center switched the screen, so now we move to the second read: a high pass to Sam popping to the left wing.I assume Markus practiced that play as the inbounder, which is why he inbounded it in the Creighton game. The other players involved in the play are the screener, which was probably practiced with both Theo and Ed, perhaps even Matt, and a dummy (Joe or Sacar) running fake action. That's a pretty long explanation for a very simple answer: Wojo called a play they had practiced and the players lined up where they practiced. Then they executed. I'm not even saying it was a genius play design. I don't know what other plays Wojo has in the playbook. But to assume Wojo was completely winging it "on the fly" is quite a jump to conclusions.
