I thought the comment about fouling from paulxu addressed the inbounds situation at the end of O.T. I think that was the play Steele refers to when he said he instructed Odom to foul. If his comment referred to the inbound at the end of regulation, I do not know what Steele (if anything) Steele instructed his team to do in regard to fouling.

Unpopular Opinion - Steele overachieved in his first two seasons with the roster he had. However, still think he has a ways to go with his in-game coaching. Also people forget he brought in all new coaches.
Balls of Steele!!

I'm not making a judgement one way or the other, but it's hard to compare Miller and Steele against each other. They are two totally different situations.
Yes, Steele has played a lot tougher schedules, but he's also had WAY more talent. Look at the rosters of Miller's first two teams! There's not one kid who would be recruited by Xavier today. It's impressive that Miller developed a lot of those 2 star and 3 star guys into the 2008 team that culminated in arguably Xavier's best team ever. We're talking about guys like Hammertime, BJ Raymond, Jason Love, CJ Anderson (local kid who went to Manhattan out of HS). None of those guys would get a sniff from Xavier today.
Miller's third year he came within a stupid freakin' call by a stupid ref of knocking off a GREAT OSU team loaded with future NBA guys. Doellman, Cage, Brandon Cole, redshirt freshman Derrick Brown, etc. Maybe Josh Duncan and Cage get offered by Xavier, but no way Steele offers those other guys today.
There's just no comparing the talent Steele is pulling in today.
One thing Sean's teams could do was shoot. They made FT's and could knock down the three ball.

The best coach in the history of the game could not have helped the last two seasons team shoot the three ball better. You're correct, you can't compare the two the way you are comparing them. Also, how about we see what Steele can do with his own team. Plus Doellman was a two time MVP and the highest paid player in all of Europe for at least three years.
Balls of Steele!!

And he was an unranked 2 or 3 star recruit in HS who wouldn't get a recruiting letter, let alone scholarship offer, if he were in HS today.
He turned into a very good college player over four years. I think coaching had a lot to do with that.
This is Steele's team now. He has his guys. I like Travis, but its time to start seeing those improvements.

It's all relative though. The talent may have been less, what Sean had, but it was on par at least, if not better, for the league we played in at the time. So really you can compare the two just fine.
Lets see what happens this year because again, the beginning of Miller's 3rd year you heard a lot of the same things about Miller that you are hearing about Steele now."I知 willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I知 going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I知 going to play harder than I致e ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17
