I'd say he's a glass half empty kinda guy from Missouri. Also a huge IU fan for a very long time, so I completely understand. Besides, we're talkin' religion here...right? I mean...it's Indiana! 😉 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great that he shot that well and I realize it’s all for fun, but his left foot was on or over the line on at least 1/3 of those shots. He doesn’t square up on his shot and steps forward with his left leg. Those won’t be 3’s in a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IUFLA Posted August 22, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Tough crowd this morning! 😉 And while I agree the proof will be in the pudding, I think the fact that Tamar has really worked on his shooting shows, despite all the challenges he's faced. Tamar is a confident kid, and he got knocked back a little last year... And he's responded so far... Regaining that confidence is key for him...

Back in the day Rio Grande used to get Bevo Francis more shots by immediately fouling the opponents after they inbounded after a made basket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty obvious he wasn't taking things serious last year and that was a big disappointment to me and hopefully, Tamar. If he quits screwing around and plays like he's capable of, look out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he had distractions. But he also had life altering events happen that were literally life and death in both directions. I think it is safe to say he was distracted. I also agree if his mind is clear and he breaks out, we become a different team. I am not sure i would agree with the assessment of him not taking things seriously. I think it was a tough year, away from home and part of growing up. But I never got the sense from him, or anyrhing coaches have said, that implied he simply didn't take it seriously. That young man went through a lot of life in the past year. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely confused by what you're saying about him not squaring up and stepping forward.... Yeah, I may be reading too much into his form when he's trying to get so many shots off in a short period. But, I'm saying, in this video, he doesn't square his feet or shoulders to the basket. If that is his shooting form, he'll need to set up farther behind the 3 pt line than a shooter who squares to the basket (or he'll be shooting a lot of long 2's, which is the worst shot in basketball). Also, if he sets up like that in the deep corner, he'll either have his left foot over the 3 pt line, or his right foot on the sideline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope that when Jordan Geronimo dunks over two people he doesn't use his off-arm for assistance, as that would be a clear offensive foul. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
