Exactly!  Frank had a lot of previous head coaching experience. Groce to good old Dale Bandy (or Billy Hahn)

Not comparing Groce to good old Dale Bandy (or Billy Hahn) but some guys are great assistants; can recruit top talent but when they step up to head coach it's a different situation and for some it takes time to build consistency.  For others they never quite get there (Bandy, Hahn).

It is ridiculous what  Groce has done to Ivo.  The constant harping has finally paid off.  A Bobcat who is capable ot 15-25 ponts per game, now is taken out of his game and confidence. Let him play, recognize his talents, get off his back.  You have a player who is (was) enthusiastic who nevers gets a break or recognition from the coach.  Just talk him up like the pet--OSU pal Kellogg--He can do no wrong.  I have never heard  Ivo's name mentioned on the after-game radio show--even when he was chosen to be "Star of theGame" However,Kellogg is almost always mentioned.  Why??????

Attention Groce: 
Defense may control a game but Offense wins it. Try a putting together a cohesive team that plays together more than 4-5 minutes.  See what happens.  This is another great  Bobcat team that can WIN if given the chance.

Not the Baltic family---The OU Family.  Aren't you tired of watching the program and listening to the excuses?  Listen to the radio show after the game.  It is everyone's fault but the coach.  
 Doesn't the responsibility for the games ultimately belong to the coach?   Isn't the coach suppose to teach, encourage and demonstrate responsibility?   Aren't players suppose to get better under their influence?  Have you seen this happen?       

Unless Ivo was sick or hurt today it makes no sense as to why he'd play a measly 4 minutes given the weak effort of most of the team.

And I have no skin in the Kellogg vs. Baltic comparison but the stats are below:

                       GP-GS  Min--Avg  FG-FGA   Pct 3FG-FGA   Pct  FT-FTA   Pct  Off Def  Tot  Avg  PF FO   A  TO Blk Stl  Pts  Avg

If a coach can't be prepared for a zone defense or make the necessary adjustments during the game you have to ask "why". Some of it's on the players but some of the blame lies with the coach. For all those who ripped O'Shea ask yourself are we better off today? And the schedule this year was as soft as I've seen in years.

Believe I heard on the broadcast Ivo tweaked an injury at practice while on the road trip, gave it a go and was not likely to return again during the EMU game.  Russ/Rob believed he must tweaked it again.  Don't recall hearing exactly what the injury was.

I don't know what's going on with Ivo, but one thing is painfully obvious: Groce is enamored with 3s.  His solution to every problem is to have somebody try a 3.  Over 30% of the team's FGAs have been 3s.  If Kellogg were the one trying them, it would probably work.  He's hit a third of the team's 3s (61 of 182).  He's hitting 43%, the rest of the team is less than 30%.  If Ivo Isn't "tough enough" inside, it's mostly because his primary role has been to feed somebody outside the arc.  He also doesn't get a lot of help when the opponent's zone collapses on him.  That comes from Groce not having a plan against zones.

You're putting words in my mouth that aren't there.
