Perhaps Dolph can make some ON AIR comments about, "why don't Iowa's big men develop post moves, who teaches this art and skill, why can't Fran teach this?, why do other teams (Like Wisconsin, et. al.) develop post moves under the basket, and we blindly flail away?"Wow, so you saw it from the stands and had a better look than the officials on the floor and even after watching the monitor? All the replays I saw during the game never not showed space between Tyler's face and a Pitt player's extremity. But show some video and prove us wrong. Tyler was frustrated. Pitt defended him well. Tyler would get the ball and the rest of the team would stand around waiting for him to go one-on-one to the basket but it never happened. With his hops he should be able to stop and pop but he he just doesn't have that game. Fact.
Tyler's lack of game is not just on Tyler but the coaching staff as well. He doesn't even rebound all that well. Reggie Evans played in the NBA because he was a freak on the boards.
Fran and his staff don't have a great record of developing players. Fran is entering his 9th season here and only two of his players have had a cup of coffee in the NBA. Marble and Uthoff played in a combined 53 games in the NBA.
I do like Garza's game and work ethic. His lack of foot speed is what is going to hurt him and that is why Fran sat him for like the final ten. He was forced to go with a quicker lineup.
Garza is trying...Cook just "Goes NBA" driving, seldom looking to others, reluctant to clang a short jumper, and pouts when the opponent isn't called for a foul.
