[Herky] Post Offense

[Keith Voigts]

WHINER!!!!!!   :)

 

Who knows what genetic differences reside in the body of some 7-footers.
Woody probably just cannot jump.  I am sure he has worked his butt off to be
able to jump.

 

As I whined before, our problems reside in our shooting tailing off.  Look
at open missed three's (not guarded-it's impossible to closely guard Jok and
Uthoff and others 100% of the time.  Look at missed free throws that would
have changed the momentum of games.

 

No team is perfect.  The competition is so close, top to bottom, that if you
are off in one area, it could cause a loss.

 

Is this team mentally worn out?  Only the coaches can tell.

 

Gesell is plenty fast.  Even lame talking heads remark about his high level
of speed and quickness.  Ditto Clemmons.  I like it, most of the time, when
they go to the basket.  It's a good way to pick up fouls.  If they stood
around we would be complaining that they do not penetrate.  I will accept
the forcing of some drives to the positives of shaking things up by
penetrating the paint.

 

Just different perspectives on this wonderful board by armchair QB's who
probably would not win a game if we were in charge!!  But it's fun to
banter!

Jeff,

 

At the risk of Keith Voigts calling me a whiner.......

 

I am extremely impressed with how hard and how well Woodbury has been
playing defensively and rebounding.

Unfortunately like you said, his offensive game has not developed much at
all and that has been extremely disappointing to say the least,  for me

Having a 7 footer playing in college game for 4 years is a luxury but it has
not worked out for us offensively as he is not looked at to score any
points.  He does not leave his feet to go go vertical at all.  Could be that
he always played against smaller guys growing up and never needed to  :-))

 

It is not hard to shut Iowa down defensively.  Do not allow Jok and Uthoff
any perimeter shots they are neutralized.  Our guards are not scoring
threats from the outside like it typically is.  Gesell and Clemmons do not
have the speed or the hops to create shots from under the basket.  Time and
again they are stuck in traffic there and keep trying the same.  Woodbury is
just looking for rebounds and not points and that game-wise hurts us.
Without a strong third scoring option we are limited to how far we can go.
The bench has played hard on the floor but it has not turned into points.

 

Still optimistic for an excellent season and hoping things do not end like
the football season did.

 

Go Hawkeyes

As I was thinking about player development I was trying to think of a big
man that has developed a strong post offense under McCaffery. I can't think
of anyone.  Woodbury has been a starter from day one but still has no go to
moves around the basket.  White never had any real consistent post offensive
moves.   Seems like a real weakness of this coaching staff.
