Early Hearings TM
-
@approxinfinity I mean that argument required Och, Braun here for what 3/4 years? Senior Big Dave plus jr Wilson and then you had the stud transfer Remy who saved us all from another second or heck sweet 16 bounce to Providence
We won but that doesn’t ignore the fact the system sucks.
The issues with it: You need 3 years in it to grasp it AND have Bill’s trust for a longer leash
It’s built on timing which takes a ton of time to work on
Transfers can’t transfer in and grasp it nor are they given a leash too
It’s outdated in that it starts inside out with poor ball movement as the ball sticks in the post
2 bigs = more turnovers compared to 4 guards
We play down to the competition with this style which is what bad teams want. Score less and give them a chance
You want proof? See that 2022 team
Got down to Miami and we got out in transition upped the possessions and dominated
Unc same thing after halftime
Self’s system gets us in holes early and more often than against good teams or on the road

@NotHim not sure if your new to the board or not but guess you haven’t realized how our lil buddy works lol. See when KU wins even during game chat don’t you see him- or - hear a peep out of him he is a ghost-- NOTHING, BUT when things don’t go well- - it’s Katie bar the door, he is on it like White on Rice , he becomes THE jimmy in the Dean he thrives on it and has a huge thing for Juan sit back and watch buddy lmao
If you new awesome welcome aboard, if your not – still cool always glad to see others on here – Rock Chalk
-
@kuballin10 You thinking about putting some money on KU not making the tournament this year?
-
LoL That was funny

@kuballin10 if you eliminate the exageration ie “Bills system sucks” you have some valid points. His system doesnt suck. Nobody threw a dart that landed on Kansas in 2022. We won because his system succeeded.
Maybe we should celebrate a coach that develops kids, and who has won us 2 nattys, and 1 runner up? Maybe AJ Storr should unpack his bags and trust the guy with 807 wins he came to learn from and give him the benefit of the doubt and not be discouraged or undermine him when we lose 2 games?
We know this team has a high ceiling. That doesnt change when we lose a couple games. I subscribe to @drgnslayr ’s theory that Self didnt amp us for the Creighton game, and didnt care too much about losing that one. Then the Missouri loss was a hangover from our first disruption.
But when you break a bone it (usually) heals stronger. Lets hope for the best here and trust the process. He is much more enjoyable to root for than Dan Turdley, who has already lost 3 games.
I recommend you take a glass half empty approach to Hurley and scribble down a list of “sky is falling” points from the perspective of a Uconn fan and then see if it feels ridiculous or not (assuming you dont pull punches).
Anyway, hoping for the best. And if this is the twilight of the Bill Self Era I intend to root like hell for him.

@bskeet Nah 4-5 seed this year just like last year and get waxed in the second round by some athletic team
-
@approxinfinity His system didn’t win in 2022 I explained this already
His system about got us bounced yet again to creighton without kalkenbrenner
The title game his system got us down 15-16….it was second half fast breaking (getting out and running) that won the title —— same for Miami game
His system is outdated by a mile with the thinking of don’t guard the three as well as the bucket and throw it inside because “closer to the basket means better chance”. Uh no - I don’t want Flory taking shots from DP next year at any time
Running offense through a post man actually causes the ball to stick which is Bill’s biggest pet peeve but yet that’s what he loves is dumping it inside from a stud wing to an average back to the basket big
Frank mason>>>> Landon Lucas
Yet Bill opened games or when we needed a bucket wills force feed Landon not run plays for Frank
-
How many shot attempts did Frank Mason take and how many did Landen Lucas take?
-
@Jhawk69 When we needed a bucket so late 2nd half and end of game…not sure if I can find that but I’ll try
Frank hit the Duke winner
It is on Landon’s podcast with Coach Self where coach self talked about throwing it into lando when we needed a bucket. He even mentions while being on a team with Frank, Graham and JJ……crazy poor philosophy if you ask me
We get our 4th or 5th best scoring option the ball because of proximity to the goal instead of giving it to our best players 5-10 feet further away
-
What is the name of Landen’s poscast?
-
@Jhawk69 it’s long since defunct, but I remember it was on Jeff Goodman’s network
-
It was with his dad. I liked it a lot!
-
@Jhawk69 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hWAcQqxK5lU - here you go with video
-
@benshawks08 a lot better than josh jacksons podcast? Oh wait, that didnt happen.
-
@kuballin10 Is there a timestamp you want me to watch? I don’t have time to watch all 40 minutes.
-
@Jhawk69 sure you do when you are on ur phone most of the day, taking a dump or on a workout machine lol
I’ll find the spot though and reply when I’m doing the above
-
@approxinfinity One is a better ball player and another is by far a better man/human being
Maybe Self is just saawwffttt and loves a good under dog story and a good kid versus a turd of a kid to coach
-
@kuballin10 one thousand percent true
-
-
@BShark I see your Twitter….you are seeing that Self takes guys 3/4 years in a system to win which in todays game isn’t feasible with one and done + transfer portal

Here you go @kuballin10 https://x.com/BShark5/status/1866999120923144467 Be sure to vote

Bill is so bad he should retire right now apparently.
-
Shark man shitposting during a game?? Well knock me over with a feather
-
@FarmerJayhawk He’s seeing what I’m seeing based on his tweets……when some old dudes can figure this out but the multi million dollar staff can’t that’s pretty sad
-
I have our replacement when our Hall of Fame Coach decides to retire 7 - - and our next Hall of fame Coach with a 1000 % win rate is - - - -
-
We losing anybody at semester or no since tiller is a redshirt???
Who’s the transfer pg we need to eye?
Bill replacement (when he retires in 1-5 years) at Drake sure has them playing well - high level ball movement imagine it with actual athletes
