Coach Marshall Advisory Committee

[Ricardo del Rio]

I would have advised Coach Marshall as follows:

1. Tell everybody except Grady to stop shooting the ball.
2. Tell everybody that Ty Taylor would do the shooting.
3. Tell Ty to either dribble drive to score and draw fouls or shoot 3 balls.
4. Tell everybody else to guard and rebound.

I still have not looked at the box score so minor adjustments might be required. Probably not many. Probably hardly any. Maybe miniscule.

If someone had a better plan, post it.

I am still a Shocker fan. I attended my first Shocker game in 1962. I have been a season ticket holder, since 1963.

Sorry Ricky. You lost me at Ty.

Sorry Ricky. You lost me at Ty.

At least he didn't say Rauno.

But, facts are that NOBODY else could make one.

Ricky might sound off his rocker, but one thing about Ty is that he has a knack for finding an open spot and getting a shot off. That's what we were missing against UNI and sometimes you gotta try something different. It would've been a big risk/reward move for 3G. I personally think the game was too close to take that type of risk, but it does make you wonder if something like that might have worked. I wouldn't have had a problem with Ty getting Conner's minutes in that game.

29.2% total FG%; 31.3% from 3.

This isn't mop-up time against Drake or Bradley. This was a Valley semifinal game against UNI.

Come on guys.

[pinstripers]

Well, he's quicker than anyone we have, and he certainly coulda got his shot off, but I assume that this is not a serious suggestion.

RDR, always enjoy your posts so let me jump in with my own thoughts.

Grady fouled out which we did not want yesterday because he was feeling it on Offense. Shaq Wall also makes at least 1 or 2 fouls almost every game that have no Shocker redeeming value. This excessive fouling is not needed because we need one or both on the floor. Mr. Brown had an unusual bad day but I would like to see both him and MM on the floor more together some this Season and lots of time next.

Since I have never made one thin dime coaching, I digress, but more so because I am a man of few words and never have I ever been an All American at anything, but have had plenty of off days at work on executing as witnessed yesterday. I luv to express my opinions though and have tons of them when it comes to Shocker hoops. That's why we're here, right?

1. Give Fred his cape back
2. Tell Zach Brown that Tekele is watching
3. Tell Wessel not to hurt anyone unless they play for a P5 conf
4. Keep It Simple Shockers

My advice to Coach is to make ZB hit a dang free throw.

Kidding aside, we don't need to put a close tournament game in the hands of an inconsistent freshman.

Take the loss like a man. Don't go looking for crazy what ifs.

[wusphlash]

Remove all firm grip from the trainer's bags.
Find a way to have two big guys under the offensive boards.
Understand that Fred is not the most athletic guy in the world and will have a hard time beating a double team for a final shot.
Figure out why we miss point blank shots. Any one of them would have made a difference yesterday.
Quit being pissed off in St. Louis. The fans feel it and the guys feel it. Doesn't help them play loose.
Disregard all Shockernet advice.

[AZ Shocker]

I honestly haven't seen Ty play enough...but when I have seen him...he kinda reminds me of that Washpun guy from UNI. Quick.

[forevershockerfan]

CF is the best shooter 3G has ever coached. Thus, what can we do to get him more shots? Armstud was good and rarely had a bad game. FVV had 2 flat games at the Lew. When we played Ohio State and beat them at the Dance, both of these Shocker PGs out played their star point guard. When Fred is out Baker can play some solid minutes at the point. They are both All Americans and all up and down the record books for Shockers for various stats. Thus, we will play again this Season and the least of my worries are these 2 All-Americans. 3G was once National Coach of the Year so he will get us lined out. We will see what happens next Sunday

I can't figure Ty out either. You can tell he's really quick and athletic. However, I don't know if it's fair to paint him with a broad brush as a shoot first and shoot a lot kind of player. I've only seen him in mop up duty and I think the kid gets so excited he's on the floor, his mentality is to do the most with the time he has. I think he's trying to make a good impression on coach by attempting to score as many points as he can and hopefully this will convince him to give him more playing time.

Obviously, I don't know what is going on behind the scenes and at practice. Something tells me he's doing something wrong behind the scenes that is costing him PT. Who really knows. We're guard heavy next season so somethings got to give.

My only advise to Coach 3G is to ignore the advisory committee. I feel very confident he will follow this advise.

Fred's cape is actually an interesting topic.. The cape was addressed by Fred himself this year and pretty much everyone else affiliated with shocker nation because for some bizzare reason, if Fred's cape wasn't on this squad looked like they could lose to a high school JV squad.
I don't think that factor being on everyones mind was good. Fred started looking spooked after halftime because the cape was missing.
