My decision is who should most receive the counter message for rewarding Walker. It's Ware. He came to IU with a reputation, and we saw full evidence if that reputation in the first half on Tuesday. In 1987, when Bob Knight got pissed at the team, he took it out on Steve Alford....his best player. IU can't win if Ware is playing lackadaisical. Wake him up by rewarding Walker and not starting Ware in a game IU should win. Could pay dividends later in the year, much the same as it did for Alford and Indiana in 1987. I get what you’re saying, but I also think Reneau needs a significantly bigger wake up call than Ware. I don’t need to look past MR’s rebounding number to know how little effort he plays with every game. Malik needs to watch the effort Walker plays with and also how he consistently makes the right plays; start contrast to the more talented and physically impressive Reneau. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_iu_bb Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Woodson change the starting lineup without an injury being involved!? Yeah, that'll happen. I could also win this powerball jackpot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to what you're saying, I actually think Ware was more lackazajdf;lianfbn ao;ingcle than anything. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally was the ONLY guy that was ready to play on Tuesday. i hate that no one does that anymore, but i don't think anyone really does that anymore. with this team it would be even tougher because you'd have to bench Reneau or Ware.

Yeah, I think it is like 30% coach and 70% players. They have to have that self drive and the coach is there to push for that extra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
