Kolek planning to go pro
I'm as Nojo as they come but I thought he said all he could've said.
Maybe this is my sour Nojo glasses right now, but I wasn’t very impressed. The gist I got from it was “our players didn’t execute.” His response to the first question about the zone was about as good as our response to the zone itself.I’m always struck at how many time he will say something in a huddle and the players do something different. That popped into my mind when he was saying they needed to get the ball in the middle and the paint. However, we ran our offense at half court and barely got into the paint.I’m not sure what the disconnect is, but it seems to happen a lot.
He hasn't. You can draw up the greatest sets in the history of basketball, but if nobody does it nobody scores. MU moved the ball against UAPB's zone. The length of OK St messed them up. Great ball movement against Pine Bluff, terrible ball movement against OK St. The defensive length was the difference.
Yes, and the team tried to win with talent vs. plays. They played at a faster pace than they could control. How do you ask a team to play "harder" but a touch slower and under better control?In game adjustment is easier said than done. How do you adjust against "defensive length"?
“College basketball is a lot harder than it looks on tv.”
Has he lost the team three games into the season?I'm only half sarcastic on this one.
To back to back zinger posts Brew. Spot on. Thin skinned Wojo cannot handle fair criticism and always responds with by immediately attacking those who dare to question his performance. He reminds me of someone. Hmmm. Dodds' standard litany of excuses includes "we're a young team", injuries (only Marquette has to deal with those, dontcha know?), and "tired legs" among other go-to explanations for meltdowns. Let's not add opponents' length to the list.
This quote really rankled me. Yes, it is, and that's why Marquette pays you so much money to do it! And that's why we have such high expectations for our program! We get it, your job is hard, but you're the one who chose to do it and who took on that responsibility, so when you can't produce the results we are paying for, you are the one who has to acknowledge you aren't doing that job.
"we're evolving", "growing pains", "younger guys", 'grow up quick."Back to the We're Young excuse.
