I fear Izzo is going down the Keady/Knight route

by **The_Dude** 31/12/14, 11:31 am

Nearing end of career, game has seemed to pass him by. Stubbornness costing him games. His sets on offense simply don't work and executing out of timeouts are non existent. Coupled with failed recruiting, the parralels are quite similar.

You're stupid.

The only parallel I see is yourself and idiocy.

by **kingstonlake** 31/12/14, 12:30 pm

Time sure does fly if the game has passed you by and you're 8 months removed from an elite eight.

by **Turtleneck** 31/12/14, 12:34 pm

MSU won 29 games last year. I'm not sure Izzo lost it sometime between March 30, 2014 and the start of this season. The stubbornness has always been there, but he did take a couple of hits on the recruiting trail that have left him with a team missing a lot of important pieces.

The Dude really whiffed on this post.

I am curious how the game of basketball has changed so dramatically that it has "passed him by." I keep hearing this, lots of people are repeating it, but nobody can articulate any major changes to the game that Izzo cannot understand.

Bock M fans whiff often.

His refusal to adapt

Adapt to what?

That really narrows it down.

I see no evidence of a comb over.

Ummmm.....recruiting????

by **Turtleneck** 31/12/14, 04:14 pm

I asked what has changed about the game. The game of basketball, you know, how it's played on the court, the Xs and Os, is not the same as recruiting. Recruiting is a different story.

Ummm.......officiating??

by **Turtleneck** 31/12/14, 05:26 pm

Oh, Izzo does not understand how the game is called? Keep grasping at straws.

There are worse comparisons than Keady and Knight. That is good company

You should be worried that blanche is your only ally

Is it ok to bump this?

OP is a fucking retard.

The Dude is conspicuously absent today.

I do think Izzo should have called a timeout earlier when Wisconsin went on that run to cut down our nice lead, and I think he gave Schilling too many minutes (particularly in OT) when he was a liability defensively.

He did a great job with the roster, but I do think he still needs to tweak some things.

by **The Pantry** 15/03/15, 09:54 pm

Styles should follow-up on the OP after taking his attacker out

I approve.

by **Turtleneck** 22/03/15, 02:34 pm

I hate when the OTPT thread gets bumped. He's just a young kid that doesn't know better. On the other hand...

by **tGreenWay** 22/03/15, 05:01 pm

OP is a fucking moran. Most of us knew this before he posted this thread.

Does anybody have the O/U on the number of games before The Dude calls for Izzo's job and bails on the team?

by **NigelUno** 11/11/15, 05:49 pm

The Pantry does not like bumped threads. You just made his list.

by **Turtleneck** 11/11/15, 06:23 pm

by **Giant Moose** 11/11/15, 06:35 pm

Keady doesn't ever belong in the same conversation with Knight and Izzo.

by **GRR Spartan** 11/11/15, 09:25 pm

The Dude, the faux Spartan, is still at it.

I think I was drunk, in the upper bowl izzone, and we lost to Texas Southern or some shit when I made the thread TN is referencing. I fear Izzo is going down the Keady/Knight route 502811600

by **duffy munn** 11/11/15, 09:31 pm

Outstanding bump.

Wonder if tDude fears that Beilein is going down the path of Johnny Orr ?

Sorry. You're still the only one on the list for stupid, meaningless bumps. Stupid polls, too.

by **The_Dude** 12/11/15, 12:34 am

What a great recruiting class!

Now go get your second title, Tom. The future looks great.

He'll probably have to run it by Valenti first.

So Izzo is safe from your wrath this year?

Until the first missed free throw on Friday night.
