Agree and boilers need to be willing to go to offensive sets that allow him in certain situations to break down defense and either finish or dish - not all the time because our motion offense is great but when needed when opponents start overplaying ball
Look at the replay, he's saying shit while he's on the ground, now once he gets up he doesn't say anything, but he then goes out of his way to bob his head in Isaac's face. I think you can do one, but not both of those and not be worried about a tech. Just because Dakitch says he didn't open his mouth, doesn't mean it is true.
I cringed but then saw the shot clock. Not the best situation but one of these years he will be hitting those. His form is good. It will come and then he will be a nightmare for other centers.
The amount of sets are what Treed says is a struggle for Nojel at this time. Also, “motion” is a read the defense and if an overplay exists, a back cut is part of motion. With all that, I too wanted to drive it more and have a bit more back cuts. However, this team is not what I call great drivers of the ball and the other teams know that. This was a VERY well coached game by both coaches trying to do what they do best and take away what the other teams do best if possible. Purdue was very fortunate to escape…and escape it was. Still, Purdue is a better team than Michigan…but Michigan had “more” “less heralded” players step up in scoring where Purdue’s contributions from the bench were not as much scoring
I never said it was a struggle for my son I said the system doesn’t quite suite the style my son plays. Good win for this team though
I really don’t no to be honest. Right now it’s all about this season and how my son can help this team this season and I believe so far he’s helping them in other ways that is impacting the team success.
Oh no doubt he is helping. Those rebounds and put backs were huge! His defense was top notch.
I "thought" your words were that with so many sets it was a struggle for Nojel to contribute like he can. A "struggle" is NOT the same as can't do it...a "struggle" is a difficulty in doing it. Some students "struggle" to get an A...other students do NOT struggle to get an A. Struggle is not the same as a result. It is a description of difficult issues with NO bearing on the result. By saying the "system" does not quite suite your sons style, you have inadvertently suggested a "struggle" being it perhaps a small struggle but a struggle.
If he wasn't helping he wouldn't be seeing the court. The mere fact he got minutes in a crucial game and at a crucial time says he is helping. People mention his board work, D and his put back last night, but had he not made a quick pass to Dakota for a three in the corner...many might not be so happy today.
