When does football start? I have no hope for this years BB team.
Joe needs to get this road thing figured out. ISU is dogged by a current streak of 21 straight losses and seems to get worse every year. Joe needs to ask himself, what was I doing earlier in my career at ISU so that I was performing just "poorly" in road games instead of abysmal.

I asked a question when O'brian was offered this contract. It was something a friend asked after watching O'brian coach for his first couple of years. I asked do we really want to offer an extention to O'brian seeing as what we were seeing was as good as he would ever do. My friends reasoning; O'brian does not know how to recruit Div. I talent and what he does recruit are kids who are mainly defensive players. When he does get an offensive minded player he beats them down for missing shots and not being defensive players until they lose their confidence and quit shooting. This was obvious when he was winning some games. Keep in mind his best players when he won some games were Oliver kids, who by the way were all from Idaho. He now has his kids and the team is not as good as it was three years ago. We cannot score enough to win games consistently. Oh yeah will have a good game once in a while but over all we cannot score enough to be competetive. This leads back to what was said of O'brian prior to his hiring. While successful as a JC coach he would have trouble recruiting and coaching at the Div. I level. He came from a feeder school where top schools placed kids who needed to get eligible, just like CSI. He had never had to recruit and it shows when you look at what we put on the court. He also did not have to be a offensive minded coach because he almost always had better talent than the teams he played. You can win at the JC level by playing good defense and using your superior talent to score. Look at what he recruits, mainly slashers who score most of thier points driving into the lane. That works great except he forgot that if you cannot score with jump shots from the outside teams just callapse into the key and stop your drives leading to allot of missed shots. Frankly, O'brian should have never been hired and should never have been given a three year contract extension. Any coach who is just barely getting by should not have a three year contract, one year contracts until you prove you can get it done.
