Oso planning to go pro
I can’t believe how y’all pick on Vanilla Soft Serve.He had almost as many points as fouls, ya know!
It’s quite a pickle for Izzo. He talked up Joey all off-season, even said they might try running the offense through him. But he now realizes that they’re actually better with Hall on the court.But Izzo needs to keep Joey engaged because he never knows if he’ll need Joey due to injury or illness or foul trouble. And then there’s next season … does he want Joey to stick around or will he encourage Joey to go elsewhere?Life was simpler for Izzo when he thought Joey could actually play high-level basketball.
What's the word for fear of letters? Epistaphobia?
Joey:
Guys. He's not writing any letters. This is what he wanted. A coach who had a clue. He didn't want touches. Didn't care how much he played or scored. He didn't care about minutes. He wanted wins and playing the game "the right way." That's all that mattered to him. He's thrilled by this. He even told Izzo to bench him last year. The guy is as selfless as they come. He gets it. He is totally fine watching from the pine. Just wants wins and quality basketball.The meat eating lovers told us so. It's gospel.
He is not the first player that Izzo has had a public animated confrontation with. He won't be the last. The onus is now on young Mr. Hauser. Izzo is not going to change for Joey. Will Joey do what Izzo wants?
What does history tell us?
Get the band back together at UWSP. Can hire Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hauser and play the game the right way.
I gotta wonder if Trevor Anderson regrets his decision to transfer to Madison. He starts all 20 games he plays in as a freshman at UWGB, playing nearly 30 mpg and averaging almost 10 points.He then transfers to Madison, redshirts his first year and plays three more seasons. Never starts. Averages at best 14 mpg.Now he is at Valpo, started every game they have played. Over 30 mpg and scoring 11 per game.
Joey has a bucket tonight and 5pts.
I noticed Izzo subbing him out on the defensive end in crunch time.
The coaching Joey was hoping for.
