If they don't call goaltending, it would have been a sure follow up dunk by the Cuse..Refs are useless. Ref was on the baseline behind the basket and called goal tending and it wasn't even close.
Totally disagree with this. It doesn't take coaching to roll the ball onto the court and tell someone to try to score, it does take coaching to tell a player, hey you need to defend your player, defend the goal, and rebound. Remember that wasn't Boeheim's zone.funny thing is how similar we are to uk right now, they just have more talent but exact same thing going on. they can score 90-100+ on any given day it seems but they cannot stop anyone on defense when needed. imagine if this team could play just a little more d, like 10-15% more then we'd probably win the majority of our remaining games. for those who don;t think kp is coaching, you can't score 90+ in back to back games without it. problem is defense. and uk shows us that's not an easy task to coach. but our guys just put up 94 points against a zone team. for those who hate kp, you must now realize that there is actual coaching going on and he'll be here in year 3, no doubt.
Defense is where coaching starts. Sorry, he doesn't get credit for only coaching half the game. As far as the offense with this talent in a dribble drive offense not sure he gets that much credit with a zillion turnovers every game.funny thing is how similar we are to uk right now, they just have more talent but exact same thing going on. they can score 90-100+ on any given day it seems but they cannot stop anyone on defense when needed. imagine if this team could play just a little more d, like 10-15% more then we'd probably win the majority of our remaining games. for those who don;t think kp is coaching, you can't score 90+ in back to back games without it. problem is defense. and uk shows us that's not an easy task to coach. but our guys just put up 94 points against a zone team. for those who hate kp, you must now realize that there is actual coaching going on and he'll be here in year 3, no doubt.
it takes 5 players on the court to score. and you'll never jsut put 5 players out there, roll the ball, and have them score 100+ then 94 points in back to back games. get some reality. this team has gotten better and better. not as fast as you want them to, but they are missing 5 players from what they thought they'd have this year. and btw, defense is the hardest thing to coach, especially without senior leaders who know the system. and if you look at the stats, our offense is arguably the best in school history. and it doens't matter who's zone we were up against, it is massive progress since indiana threw their zzone at us. remember that game? and now look at what we did, that's coaching adn progress. simple facts, sorry you can't handle the truthTotally disagree with this.

The implication being that LPT is getting that level of coaching? I think the average slapd!ck would disagree with you.Totally disagree with this.

Well, the two free throws ZP missed were the difference in the game.I'm not sure KP has learned that much. He started his kid a few weeks ago. The stiff from Miami a few times too. He still threads the needle to get his son into games, and when you lose by 2 pts it's fair to look at how that might have cost the team a win. His son isn't even good enough to be a walk-on here, much less start! or see time in a 1st half off the bench.
I just don't think winning is the high priority for him, it's more about his players and their well-being for him. He probably believes wins can come along with it all. No clue when he expects that to start happening.
That said, I'm unsure wins is the priority for the higher-ups either. If it was, they hold Pitino, and don't hire KP. The reality is a lot went into this hire, and that's why fans probably need to prepare themselves for this KP era to be indefinite. If it is, I hope his method gets rewarded at some point.
Nothing anyone posting here can do about it.
Not disagreeing with that at all. But most of the fan frustrations target the head coach.…My issue with KP goes beyond his ability to teach basketball to young players, but more of his inexperience in running such a big program. He is not a natural with charisma and fortitude that is easily displayed. He looks like and is over his head as head coach of Louisville…
I'm mostly following games online, but my guess is he's costing the team quite a few points on both ends of the floor. It's pretty much 4 on 5 when he's in there. It's just an atrocious out of touch decision by KP to ever play his son. Starting him @ WF was inexcusable.Well, the two free throws ZP missed were the difference in the game.
And the blow by - by his man immediately after the missed FTs for a layup.Well, the two free throws ZP missed were the difference in the game.
I mean - does your kazoo ever play another tune?Not disagreeing with that at all. But most of the fan frustrations target the head coach.
Aren’t your comments more an indictment of the people who hired him? And should anyone expect improvement if we just repeat that hiring process?…
The more accurate question would be - who’s responsible for pressuring UofL into hiring a guy with no experience? The answer to that is, Bridgeman & Houston primarily - eaves, maybin and DEI secondarily.Who’s responsible for hiring a guy with no experience? Hand me that saxophone…
That's like saying had they not called a charge we would've had two more points.. The fact the Cuse player made the follow up means nothing. On a blown call or inadvertent whistle possession is determined by the possession arrow which favored Louisville. How fair that is, is no different than any other bad call.. There were plenty others.If they don't call goaltending, it would have been a sure follow up dunk by the Cuse..
How many blocking calls?Five?Six?There were plenty others.
I was waiting for this response. Question? Who hired Rick Pitino and Bobby Petrino. Two coaches who have been blamed for basically destroying their respective sport at U of L. So by your own admission, we were 100% correct in firing Tom Jurich according to your reasoning. Hmm...Not disagreeing with that at all. But most of the fan frustrations target the head coach.

No, what I'm saying is that by calling the goaltend, that actually gave us time to set up a play to win or tie the game.That's like saying had they not called a charge we would've had two more points..
