Kruger is soft

[SoonerBred]

Enough, team shutout Dayton the last 6 minutes. The previous 34 we didn't. If we do that again we lose. The team needs to settle down earlier in games. Kruger is not soft he just stays level most of the game however we have a history of completely going awol for awhile in games where we have had big leads.

Sorry, but mising layup after layup is not knee jerk. It is being soft

But that is Kruger's fault? You can't spend valuable practice time every day on lay-ups. They are LAY-UP's for a reason.

Good lord!

I never blamed Kruger. Read my posts. Show me where I ever blamed Kruger.

Lots more softness between the ears of some posters in this thread than in Kruger or anyone on this team. If they were soft today, they would have lost.

Truth. They should tons of heart tonight, Kruger included, by not letting themm quit when those layups weren't falling.

1000...they are not true fans

If we do that again we lose.

We are going to see this same sentence after we win the next couple games. We are one of the best teams left.

Maybe true but team has to have their head on straight mentally. We dodged a bullet with Dayton but we will have to play smarter the entire game to beat Michigan State.

I think that goes without saying... Every game will only get harder. But we arent going to make every shot, layup or not.

You mistaken calmness for softness. If he is not calm, the team panics and we lose that.

Instead, the Sooners are in the Sweet 16 having beaten a good team on a roll on the road.

This is a clown post, bro.

I'd rather have a coach who keeps his cool than one who acts like some kind of psycho.

This is true. I love the way he coaches. Irate coaches look like idiots to me.

You know it's post season basketball. the rims get smaller your arms get shorter and suddenly you start rushing things. That is why superior teams get upset. Did you notice Buddy short arm that free throw.

And NCAA basketball is basically a series of hot and cold runs.

Yeah, we get it, eventually OU will probably lose a game and then you can post "I told you" way to play the odds bro, this kind of post/mentality is soooooo weak.

I remember reading or hearing a quote from or about Brad Stevens a couple years ago. Said something along the lines of if he was having to yell and scream at his players from the sideline during the game, it just means he didn't prepare them well enough before the game.

Yup. We've got some fans that can't see the forest for the trees. We tied for the Big XII regular season title. We are in the Sweet Sixteen. We have a team that is fun to watch play and most disciplined team we've had since Sampson was our coach. Yet all some of our posters want to talk about is when we will lose next and how it will validate all their complaints.

So many posters on this board haven't even enjoyed the fun ride that has been this season. They've been too busy *****ing and moaning and offering doomy, gloomy predictions of imminent collapse. And with certain of the usual suspects, it's been going on relentlessly. all. season. long.

It is bleed over from the football fan mentality. I don't post on any of the football boards for a reason. I glance at a couple and the vile posted on those boards directed at the players and staff are beyond egregious.

Occasionally, I wonder why Kruger doesn't jump an official or chew on a player for something dumb. But I've learned that it's just his personality and, since he's in his 60s, he probably isn't going to change. Either way, I'm happy he is our coach.
