Bear Down Wildcats

Bob Kemp has been talking about how Miller is using too many time outs early on and it is a cause for why U of A is not scoring late in games when they need a bucket.

Completely agree. The final plays in close games have left a lot to be desired. Saving a TO or two would allow for better plays in those situations.

Shut up

Completely agree.

Either you misunderstood Bob Kemp, or Bob Kemp makes no sense.

Time outs = buckets

Things I learned today. Someone get Miller on the line.

I do not see good play calls late in close games. I completely agree with Bob in that saving a time out or two would allow for better play calls to be drawn up, leading to better chances at buckets and points.

You know who always left time outs on the clock? Lute Olson.

He wanted the players to win (or lose) the game.

That may be true, but Lute was not perfect and neither is Miller

But Bob Kemp is

I am hoping for threads on such mind blowing subjects as dribbling, free throw technique, style of shoe lace tying, jersey length, player facial hair, and what kinda of pizza they like the most as soon as possible.

we need to discuss this.

Don't forget jump balls. We've yet to see anyone break down the number of first possessions that Tarc has secured this year. But I suspect the numbers are poor and reflect poorly on Sean Miller.

The ASU was the first time Kaleb did not win the tip in recent memory. Although most times it seems someone on Arizona threw the ball away, poor passing. Someone should make a thread about that.

Bob Kemp says we shouldn't vaccinate our children. Completely agree. He also says Ariana Grande is the bomb. This is why he is the best.

Bob Kemp also says if you call a timeout early and then score or stop the other team, those buckets don't count as much as the ones at the end. Completely agree.

Coach K is the master at preserving TOs late in games.

What a surprise, he also happens to be the best coach in the college game.

What difference would it make anyway if Miller had some late TOs?

The guy can not draw up an offensive scheme to save his life.

Does anyone remember the end of the Wisconsin game?

lol

Preserving timeouts requires "mastery?" I could do that. Don't call any. Now I'm a genius!

Was it like the end of the Duke-Mercer game? Or like the Lehigh one?

lol

Wasn't like the last two Duke-Arizona games. Not close enough to bother.

try being a NBA/college basketball coach and not calling TOs in a sport that is so incredible swung by momentum.

hmmmm, no I can't remember exactly.

Must have been in one of those 4 national championships he has. Or maybe in one of those 11 final four appearances. Well for sure it was in one of the 1,003 career victories he has.

I sure you appreciated Coack K not calling timeout early in the second half as we went from four down to 11 ahead in four minutes. Killer momentum shift. Game over.

Yeah. All a tribute to his TO mastery, not McDonald's All-Americans.

don't be so simplistic friend-o.

its his understanding of the game that makes him the best.

Do you have stats on his timeout preservation? Read tons of articles about his 1,000th victory. Not one mentioned this key point.

Careful... You are the one equating TO preservation with coaching greatness. Ever hear of the saying "When you point a finger at someone, you have 3 pointing right back at yourself"?

Was K born that way? Oops... I guess not. In his first 5 years at Duke, he made the NCAA tourney twice but did not get past the first weekend.

Duke was the National runner-up the just 3 years before he arrived and had 4 Final 4's in the previous 18 seasons.

Watching RockyRacoon try to take on Gumby is like watching that drunk jerk hide from security at the aquarium and them jump into the shark tank.

I did not equate preserving TOs with coaching greatness.

I said he is one of the greatest coaches of all time and the best in the college game right now and this is because he understands the game better than everyone else. Preserving TOs and making the most of them is one factor of that.

You don't know enough about college basketball to have these conversations without exposing how little you know about college basketball. Try a starter forum. Nobody's going to give you remedial course on this board.

You're right about Krzyzewski and Duke not being all that successful his first few seasons and here is hoping Miller can figure it out as well as Coach K has.

That's because you've exceeded 100 posts without saying a single intelligent thing on this board and there's not a poster here who thinks you deserve any kind of justification. You're joke. You're out.

lol

The funny thing is, I hate Coach K and Duke.

But because so many of you on this forum are so simplistic in your thinking, if I praise greatness and excellence that automatically means I am a fan. Or if I am critical of the Wildcats and Miller that means I secretly am an ASU fan or something.

Empty again.

It means you do not understand the way the world works, and have zero appreciation of context - instead only clinging to absolutes. (K is awesome/ Miller sucks..... Final 4's matter / Nothing else does!)

Arizona was a complete dumpster fire in the years preceding his arrival. His achievements in his first 5 years hear surpass by a wide margin the 2 greatest college coaches of all time, in their first 5 years at marquee programs.

You are not constructively critical of Miller; you condescend as if he is incompetent.

That's okay... Machina and BC97 think he sucks, too.

Bom Kemp can suck it

Rocky is accusing someone of spewing words together?

Well, on second thought, he is the expert...

Coach K is pretty objectively "awesome" at coaching basketball.

Please provide evidence where I said that Coach Miller "sucks".

Personally, Rocky, I like when you compare the results of a coach who has been coaching since 1975 against the coach who's been doing it since 2004.

Outstanding work Rocky.

Well considering Miller has been in major college coaching for 23 years and a head coach since 2004, you would think he would have a little more figured out by now in terms of managing a game within the game.

Hella generic response.

If you're going to be so empty and predictable in your response, why not just go with the old standby, "I know you are, but what am I?" or my personal favorite, "Shut up!"

And you are old enough to not be so obtuse or absolute in your assessment. Your inflated view of your perceptive abilities with respect to coaching skill signals your callow perspective. If you don't like the way Miller manages a "game within a game", especially related to TO use, you would have HATED Lute.

If you gathered the 20 foremost authorities in the game of basketball and asked them who the brightest stars in the coaching ranks under the age of 45 are, I would guess Miller would be in everyone's Top 5 and most Top 3. What he has achieved in his short tenure is remarkable by any standard.

But you dismiss it as meaningless... Because he hasn't gotten as far as you want him to. Wah! You must still be young enough to know everything.

John Wooden had coached 16 years in College before making his first Final 4, and was 52 before he won a National title. Should have realized that if he couldn't figure it out by age 50, he wasn't going to.

Yes something about all this reminds me of two snotty well to do 40 something Englishmen having a conversation at a pub all snoggered up.

...Streaming far too many British TV shows at the moment

Can we just move this to the "Help" board so it gets fewer responses.

Holy ****, what a waste of bandwidth.
