Brand new season, same old Wojo.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Are u frickin kidding me Fluffy.  Wojo and coach ks offense in no way shape or form even comes close to being similar to knights motion offense.  Nothing even close.  Completely diferent ,  the coach knight offense was a true motion.  Purdue ran some of the same,  knights offense rarely if ever set a ball screen.  Knights motion consisted of screening away and setting numerous ball screens off the ball.  Again almost never a ball screen.  MUs is mostly ball  screen dependent trying to create mismatches and help side recovery.
Truly an absolutely horrible post to compare what MU and Duke run to what knight ran.  Just really stupid.  Both effective but entirely, completely different. Wow

Yeah I would argue that Wojo's is much more akin to the modern pro game with all of the ball screens and trying to create space with the 3-ball "gravity"

Aesthetically, I prefer a true motion with the off-ball action you mentioned, but I will take whatever is effective and his offenses have definitely been effective. It's also likely more appealing to the higher end recruit, and more effective with those types as well.

Got to love how this board has a 7 page topic about our "terrible" coach when we are in the final stages of a huge, impact recruit.

Well done fellas.  Well done.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Are you able to comment without insulting people? I'm truly curious

Too dumb not to call out, but generally no.

Agree, i think a well run motion is a joy to watch.  The old motions were awesome.  But whatever works, shot clocks have had a major major effect too.  Im more interested in what gets Ws versus the Xs n Os.  As a great coach once said its more about the Jimmys n Joes than the Xs n Os.  Bad coaches forget this.

Reading comprehension: A
How's that?

This boards a broken record that's been spinning for years

Cheerful. At least you're honest.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

As the day is long, doesnt go over well in the crying room.  Others appreciate it.

At least he managed to get through that 3rd-grade-level-written paragraph without insulting a half dozen college athletes on his supposedly favorite team, so maybe he's making progress.

Helluva comeback!   Still, Porky shares many of Humanlung's concerns.  Great teams don't allow themselves to get down by 18 points in the first half on their home court, and the fact that they allowed themselves to get in that situation in the first place is a big Asterix next to this W as far as Porky is concerned.

Hopefully they just had The first big game jitters.  Wojo said as much in his post game interview with Homer.  He said no disrespect to Loyola but a team like Purdue is on a completely different level and they, having played Texas already had been through a game like that this year already whereas we hadn't and it took us a half to get acclimated to that level of play.   

Does anyone know why the live stream of the radio broadcast was blacked out on the ESPN app? It never was in previous years and Porky being an East coaster, had to download some tune in radio app that costs 10 bucks a month to listen to the post game interview with Wojo.

Don't use premium they put it up as if you need, hit X!

Porky ur taking it in the pork hole.  Have been using tuned in for yeeeeears it absolutely free.

Didn't say they were the same. I said they were relying on motion.

[Lennys Tap]

Didn't say they were the same. I said they were relying on motion.

As opposed to those offenses that rely on standing in one place? LOL. You were busted, just admit it.

[hairy worthen]

Didn't say they were the same. I said they were relying on motion.

you have no problem nit picking other people's posts. Take some of your iwn medicine

[real chili 83]

No. As opposed to running multiple set plays like Painter does. Which was the original point. Wojo runs a read and react motion offense. Coach K does the same thing. Knight did the same thing. I never claimed they were the same exact offense.

Glad to see you're still my little b*tch though.

Such harsh language.

Badger week.   Hated enemy, 26 hours away, and this crap continues.

It's like being at an awkward family party that you keep returning to every day.

Yep, some have a different size of the Big picture.

Yup...but that's how some folks roll

[Lighthouse 84]

If you're going to be someone who nit picks, you should actually include verbs in your sentences.  But I guess, as others have pointed out, nit picking only can flow from the Pope.

[f/k/a humanlung]

Bump.

Because I took a lot of heat for this thread at halftime of Purdue.  And because this season sure does look like SOSDD from Wojo and his staff.
