[Herky] Post Offense

Fri Feb 26 18:26:51 PST 2016

We do not have near the number of open three's that we used to. Uhl is guarded out at three point range. Uthoff has to go out to 25+ feet to get an 'open' 3 pointer.  Jok made most of his open 3 pointer but he did not have many in the second half.
Gessel and Clemmons are not good at driving and dishing.  That is how you get open 3's. Iowa seldom does it. 
I don't think any one has hit a wall. The younger guys have not played enough minutes and the older guys can handle it.  Teams have adjusted and Iowa does not have an answer  --yet.

WHINER!!!!!!   J 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! Keith L. VoigtsWiseman Technologies, Inc.

Subject: Re: [Herky] Post Offense 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 meHaving 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.

Subject: [Herky] Post OffenseAs 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.
