2022-2023 Ohio State Men's Basketball

I know you almost have to give Holtmann one more year (buyout + supposedly great recruiting class). And I fully expect one more year.

That said. I’m over it. I’m watching the games. My eyes are not deceiving me. There are no redeeming qualities and our coach is over his head. The team is lost. The players don’t know what to do or how to Worst of all it isn’t even a pleasant style to watch.

His “system”, his players, his results. I am so ready to move on.
It's like he thinks he has a roster full of NBA talent or something. No, you actually have to coach these guys, drill the fundamentals of passing, catching, team offense, etc. Iso ball isn't how you win with average college players.

Ohio State basketball sucks. Ohio State men's hockey is having another season ending collapse, and might not even make the tourney. Wales Rugby sucks balls. Women's hockey is all I have left this Winter before McLaren and the Cubs start kicking me in the nuts.

These guys just seem to have low basketball IQ. Does it fall on the coach? I don’t know, but a lot of what I’m seeing falls on the players too. These guys can’t even box out. Sensabaugh can throw down thunderous dunks on one end but can’t seem to elevate more than 2” on the other

Why did coach bring Tanner Holden in? A prolific scorer that sits on the bench as the Bucks struggle to crack 50 points.

And if he’s not checking the “other boxes” that Holtmann may want (defense? Attitude?) then where was the scouting on knowing what you were getting. This was a 4 year player down the road. You know what you’re getting.

And Holtman mismanages it.

It’s been crazy seeing the odds every game. Convinced it’s the new Ohio betting money coming in.

Also convinced they don’t win another game at which point I will be fully broken. Happy to be wrong.
Power ratings don't adjust enough when a team plays decent for two months and then hits rock bottom.

I'm surprised this team has any fans showing up at this point.

Yeah, if you don't play him when you can't score, you're just wasting a roster spot.
