Shaka to be mic'd up vs DePaul

[nyg]

Stubblefield makes this borderline unwatchable

I have no idea who DePaul has recruitment commits from, but if they are watching him in action tonight, they may want to reconsider.

You gotta play hard, aina?

[mug644]

I sure hope that some recruits (especially from Chicago) are watching this game. It does give an insight in each coach. And Shaka shines compared to Stubblefield.

YOU GUYS HAVE TO PLAY HARD!  REAL! HARD! 

I WILL WRITE TOUGHNESS ON THIS WHITEBOARD AND POINT TO IT!!!

Eye'd put Stubblefield write up der wit Woj on da coach's wall of shame, hey?

BLUE BLUE!!!!!!

Not blue blue. Regular blue.

Not blue blue. Regular blue.

Which I actually figured out pretty quickly.  It was funny though.

[PointWarrior]

Yes, hated this broadcast, as did many friends who called specifically to comment on it.

What ever, Wojo sucked at coaching for 7 years, we have at least half that time for mocking references...

Get over the Wojo references.

I really like the full timeout huddles and the halftime was great, but I do find most of the screaming that Shaka and Tony do during play to be pretty annoying. Sugar high is a good description of it. Something to get used to, I suppose.

[StillAWarrior]

I'm in the minority, I guess. I loved it.

[mug644]

Wow, Stubblefield just berating his team in the locker room. After falling 0-5, after cutting the lead from 19 to 11 in the last few minutes. After totally dominating the boards.

That's got to turn off some players.

[The Sultan]

I am pretty sure I could have done this post game talk in DePaul's locker room. 

Then they turn over to Marquette dancing around.

I agree .. DePaul's coach was a jerk to his team on multiple occasions.  It's hard to figure why a player would respond positively to that kind of negativity.

I laughed out loud when they transitioned from Stubblefield complaining about game stats over to MU's locker room to show them dancing.  That could not have been scripted better if it was a movie.

I agree with this analysis

I have no problem with what he said. It was straight up stats. He was stating all game they needed to play defense. They didnt. When a team shoots 55% from two and 45% from 3 you aren't going to win. Their second chance points kept them in it but that faltered which is how we blew it open. He is trying to build a level of understanding for next time.

Shaka kept telling the guys to rebound but no one did. 20 Offensive rebounds to 5 will definitely bite us in the ass

I'm glad I don't work for you. When I'm down, I want to be reminded of my strengths, and be encouraged to work on them. To be reminded that this is a process, and the details matter. I want to hear that we are all in it together, and we need to stay together to make the changes that will improve us.

Of course, maybe Stubblefield said all that before the cameras were on.

How is just stating stats "building a level of understanding?"

If you have watched DePaul over years and this year they are notorious for not playing defense and spending all of their energy on offense.

If you watch what he was saying all game he was imploring his team to play defense. At halftime he was saying they were on pace for a 100point game.  He was telling them MU was drive, layup or drive to kick out three, and he asked repeatedly to take a charge. He use those stats as a metric for lack of defense then as a sign they needed more energy on defense. I don't think they had one all game.

In the locker room, he reiterated if you don't want this outcome (a loss) you need to play defense. You need to be better. Until they commit to that end they will see the same result.  He was reminding his team with those stats they needed to commit to being better. He didn't call a single player out by name.

That was the lesson.

I like to only be told I make good posts and am an amazing boss.

If you aren't searching out how you can be better, metric yourself, drive to the desired outcome, or use the metrics to improve yourself then no you will never work for me but maybe the guy who works for the guy who works for the guy who works for me.   Will get you a stapler for holidays.

These guys want to win. After you have told them they need to play defense to win you don't say you did good on offense so let's continue to improve there. No you reiterate the importance of a team metric teach that there are two sides to the game. No individual player was called to carpet.
