Considering the turnovers Whitford's offense produces, should we really be playing more out of control. With our outside shooting we needed easier shots inside. Do I need to go back and post Whitford's six year turnover stats again before it sinks into your addled brain that this past season wasn't an outlier, but instead the norm ? My god you are dense. Our turnovers were not the result of poor shooting. Only a moron would try and argue that.

He is honestly clueless. I am telling you there are over 300 high school head coaches in our state that would coach circles around this guy. He needs to spend more time going to some of our IHSAA basketball coaching seminars. He might learn something. Agree there are many issues, but this is a b...s... post. Okay, name one area where Shitbird excels as a coach.

He rode the strong conference excuse consistently this season.

This is a thread about Whitford making excuses. The readers don't really want discussion, don't want explanations, calling anything that is offered just an excuse.
So then Whitford offers no such excuses, takes responsibility.
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Now critics say that is evidence he has no clue.

We aren’t well coached. We just aren’t. We don’t adjust. (But realize AFTER the season maybe we should have changed something). We haven’t had a complete, balanced roster yet. We are very poor fundamentally. Our coach has ONE Mac tourney win. Players regress over their careers. We don’t run enough good stuff on offense to maximize talent or get better shots. (Watch Purdue operate. Really impressive. That’s a well coached team). We aren’t tough. We do things that lose games and it’s like clockwork.
Whitford is what he is and has been. But go ahead and talk about how “close” we were. How we had injuries. How the league was just too good. And all the other justifications we hear every year. None of that changes that fact that when you get down to it, when push comes to shove, we are not well coached.

Whitford pretty much throws the ball out and told Persons and Walton to create. Why, you might ask? Because his piss poor recruiting has resulted in very few options with no low post consistent scoring, not one consistent long range threat. What we are left is playing at a Hellter Skellter Pace hoping to out score your opponent. The problem is you are a poor defensive rebounding team that can’t create turnovers to get into transistion. Teams adjusted and we were dead in the water. This is all due to piss poor roster management, piss poor recruiting and a philosophy that will not and cannot work at our level. What does this equal? A piss poor coach and another 2 years of shitty basketball!

Oh please, he is suddenly parroting exactly what he now knows his boss wants to hear. If Goetz hadn't done a public interview after meeting with Whitford at season's end, he would be spouting-off about bad luck, differing metrics, and red-shirts that remind him of David West.

I hope Goetz lights a fire under each coaches asses.

Yeah. When you really stop and think about it, Whitford totally cheated us by not offering excuses when we were all expecting them and conjecturing on them. Some guy even posted a poll here. Whitford just isn't competent enough to think up excuses and he even forgot the ones he was using earlier this year. Total loser.

We don’t run enough good stuff on offense to maximize talent or get better shots. (Watch Purdue operate. Really impressive. That’s a well coached team). Purdue is good. Said this earlier in the year when they hadn't hit their stride. They improve. Good talent. Not only have some shooters but you're right they use movement, a variety of screens. I have not liked how we play on the perimeter, and hope he's right we will have more shooters. Even if all he does is pick and pop we'll maybe have somebody who hits a shot...

Where are the shooters suddenly going to come from ? Bumbalough is the only guy in the pipeline who can shoot at all, and he has other issues.

00mhm said Purdue improved. I don't doubt that for a minute. My question is have any of Whit's teams improved from the beginning of the year to the end, or are they about the same, or have they regressed? Is there a pattern?
