He said he would be doing a full evaluation of the game tonight.

OK. This is probably out of place, but doing that after the In St game (or Drake game) might have saved everyone from this garbage we witnessed tonight.

I guess that's not exactly what I was hoping for. I kinda expect full evaluations of every game, good or bad.

[ShockerFever]

You can maybe spin it at Drake. You can cover it up after a win against Indiana State. You can't spin it at Evansville though.

It's a shame the Coaches Show was last night. There are some thing that are bugging me that I would like to be answered... without spin.

One word: think. ShockTalk, if you actually doubt for one second that guys who get paid a lot of money to do this for a living ever fail to do a full evaluation of a loss -- and an evaluation at an analytical level most, if not all. of us can't even imagine -- you really, really have another think coming. It's called their job.

Two things I don't like to see any coach do:

1) When things don't go right, they hide behind the team and take little or no blame OR

2) Throw up their hands and just don't know what else to do (think of MT during the bad stretch his last season).

I have no love for KS St basketball, but I have gained some respect for Coach Martin after he took it on HIS chin after, I believe, the home loss to OK St.

Exactly my point, watcher. I was being :roll: . He said nothing I didn't already know he does, but he made the statement like this was something special. I will assume I'm to read a lot more into the words he actually said.

Can you imagine a coach making that kind of comment "he would be making a full evaluation of the game" to someone like Matilda P. after a bad loss. Matilda would have asked that very question and embarrassed both of them. Or a least, pi**ed off the coach. Matilda still might be oblivious to what he asked.

I think he's played the pissed card with them - at some point you realize you don't have a team that are capable of taking it to the next level and throwing a fit won't fix that.

Team lacks leadership, basketball IQ, is lazy and doesn't have heart. The only time they starting throwing in all their effort was when realized that they might lose.

[pinstripers]

He was very pointed about saying that he was going out recruiting; as though his trip gave him a chance to almost use it as a threatening comment.

[newshock1234]

I think the most frustrating thing about this loss is everything we had worked for up to this point of the season was just thrown away, when you look at our NCAA chances. IMO it went from having a 50/50 chance at a at large to a 2% chance.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

With regards to the Drake lost. They whooped us and there wasnt much else to it.

Last night was embarrassing period. Lack of passion, drive and whatever else you need to win a game. From coaching on down to the players.

I can take losing but only when the other team beats us. I will not stand for loafing and flat out not caring regardless of the team (from my 8 year old sons baseball team clear up to the professional teams that I follow)

Sitting on the bench yawning. Walking the ball out of bounds with no one around you. Being 7 feet tall and dribbling around the perimeter to shoot a 3.

Wheres the Excedrin?

"I really don't know what to think," WSU coach Gregg Marshall said. "They assure you that they're ready to play and they assure you that they respect the opponent, and then they go out and play like this."

Have you ever given instructions to someone who appears to be listening and gives you all the right feedback to indicate they're getting it -- but it turns out they're completely clueless and hiding behind a sea of desperate nods and smiles?

[Rosewood]

Call me crazy but I think a lot of the problems we see lay squarely on the shoulders of how these guys are coached. They are encouraged to take that stupid 3 point shot and it has been a problem for YEARS now.

That is just bad coaching and poor player discipline.

Stutz with a 3 late in that game? Are you kidding me?

So if Coach wants to do a full evaluation, he needs to start right there. (PS - We can't defend the drive because we don't practice the drive.)
