Ask The Idiot

I apologize for the lack of a recap following the George Mason game.  Sunday was a busy day and I seemed to have a case of writer's block after that tough-luck loss and a deflating 0-3 trip to Puerto Rico that included an injury to Matt Roth just for good measure.

I have read everything available on this team and definitely have my opinions on where these players and this team is at right now.  And without another game until Saturday, I thought it would be a good idea to try the Ask The Idiot segment again.  We did this once before a couple years ago and it turned out to be interesting and fun.

So, go ahead, ask anything from the impact of Roth's injury or why Tijan plays more than Bawa or what's the deal with Dumes or is it time to panic or anything else you can think of.  And I (aka the idiot) will attempt to answer.  Ask as many questions as you want.

Go Hoosiers!

with capo having a break out game, is it about time to sit jobe and muniru both other than mop up time?

TheCoach said...

isn't this zone defense the worst attempt at playing D you've ever seen at the D1 college level?

TheCoach said...

Dumas has made some really dum-as plays this year.
Outside of the couple of nice 3's he really hasn't done anything of consequence.
Does he look completely disinterested and how much more PT does he deserve?
Is he pissed that he isn't the go to guy?
Is he becoming groin elbowing Dumas again?

Thanks. Long time listener first time caller.

Excellent questions, guys. Keep 'em coming. I will answer them later tonight. Right now, I have to tend to the day job.

Do you have any doubts about Tom Crean's coaching?

Is the "our team is young" line still valid in today's College Hoops? (so many upperclassmen leave early.)

Could this be mental crutch?

What is Tom Crean's half court offensive philosphy?

Chris Writes:
Purdue's recent success, ranking, and level of play causes me to seriously hate Sampson, Greenspan, the NCAA, Knight's anger issues, and our lack of a 4 star big man in the recruiting pipeline.
This is more of a statement, or hatement, rather than a question.

Why does this year seem to be headed down the same path as last year? Weren't we promised visible improvements this season? No defense, spotty FT shooting, guys going in and out like there is a revolving door at the end of the bench. Seems the same to me.

Dear Mr. Idiot, I want to know if this team is going to compete or if they are going to fold up their tent and go home. Right now, it is very easy for fans to think that this is as good as it is going to get and this will be a repeat of last year but with more talent. So, we need your opinion on whether or not IU will show signs of hope and life this year (please be positive, Mr. Idiot. I fear i might jump from my roof if there is not hope)........

Mr. Idiot, Also, I would hate to jump from my roof into one of my bushes, only to survive and see another 6-25 season. We need hope Mr. Idiot.

Dear The Idiot,
Have you heard anything about Morrison entering the NBA dunk contest this year?

Unknown said...

Maybe it should Dr. Idiot. And I mean that as a sign of respect. Does anybody agree?

Also, what does the Roth injury do to the rotation? Has anybody asked this yet? I like the fact that we have somebody on the team that can make 9 three pointers in 1 game. But does he give up 27 points on the defensive end?
