The best thing Travis has going as a coach is the cancellation of the 19-20 Tournament. Let that sink in.

I’ll tell you what, I’ve been much more disappointed by X losses. Tonight’s game seemed predictable and just ticked me off. I want Xavier to succeed. I don’t care about Steele, or Chris Mack, or whomever. I don’t know these people, except that each is another in a long line of glorified gym teachers. I want someone who will properly lead the marketing identity that made my alma mater a national brand. Please come back Sean, or even Thad at this point.
Chris Mack can stay the fudge away. I own that douche bag’s 2012 Sweet-16 ring, the season of the brawl and superhero Tu’s final season. I bought it from an online auction, but not from him. The focker had already previously unloaded it. I bought it just so it would not fall into the wrong hands. He is dead to me, ring be damned. These multi-millionaire crackpots can win games or get lost.Bjork Vanishes After Fan Tricks Her Into Saying Name Backwards ~ TheHardTimes.netb

That’s 30 attempts between the two of them, through 5 games. This almost makes me physically sick to my stomach. So tired of this new-agey game where most of these coaches (glorified gym teachers) have no clue how to actually digest analytics. I’m sorry, if you boil this great game down to layups and 3-pointers, you are an absolute idiot. It’s as if there are no complicating factors, such as game situation and player skill set/strengths. Oh, and there’s this little thing called opposition defense, where the opposing coaches scheme against you, and the talented opposition players execute those schemes. This means you have to take what the defense gives, and guess what? Everyone knows every other glorified gym teacher is trying to get their team to make layups and 3-pointers nowadays. Frankly, it’s what teams have always tried to defend against. This is what made MJ, Kobe, and Lebron so great— their ability to score from anywhere on the court, at any time, because they took what the defense gave them. Often,that meant they were scoring from the mid-range.

You guys are hammering Steele pretty good here, but am I the only one pointing directly at Paul Scruggs for this debacle? What the hell is wrong with this guy! He definitely has a reputation for disappearing in games throughout his career, but this one takes the cake. How is it possible that a guy LOADED with experience and physical attributes, go full blown Casper the Ghost? 1-14??? ZERO FT attempts? ONE rebound? 5 turnovers? PLUS his guy pinned a 30 spot on him......GTFO, an absolute embarrassment.
Coaches coach and leaders lead. Steele coached a fine 1st half....not good enough. Scruggs sleep walks the entire game.....inexcusable!Last edited by Xuperman; 11-25-2021 at 08:30 AM.

One thing is consistent - 3.5 years of some consistent "what in the hell is going on with this team" - something we've never had to consistently concern ourselves with.
Sure, all teams play like crap every once in a while. But when will this program, under Steele, ever get over the hump he's been trying to get over for 4 years now? I've seen enough to think this is who we are.

Oh I agree. Paul, Nate and Steele should all share blame in this loss..they were all complete crap. Steele fourth year coaching, Paul and Nate 5th year seniors and this is what that group comes up with?
I thought Steele had turned a corner in the Ohio state in which the strategy was clear from the tip…pound the paint, aggressive d…then last night, it is back to the same old Steele coached team of the past three years. I’m so effing sick of seeing Steele stick with his guys no matter how they are playing..three plus years of this bullshit of not adjusting lineups based on needs within the game and how players are performing. It’s effing insanity. It will be interesting to see the response tomorrow.

I've seen enough. This is the same coach today that we promoted and gave the job to 4 years ago. I see almost no ability to tactically make adjustments and get this team through games like last night.
Keep in mind that was a first year coach, with almost a completely new roster.

Its not just lineup adjustments.....its tactical changes too. Little to no defensive adjustments and it was clear ISU strategy was to disrupt our offensive flow by not allowing our perimeter players much room to move at all. They were all over the ball. We reverted to our dribble, hold onto the ball mentality instead of the great ball movement we saw the last two games.
