Oats gets five times out of his NIL than DeBoer does. Should be a no brainer.
No doubt. But right now in football, I don't think anyone is getting much out of their NIL. Sure, there's more parity than ever. But that's because everybody kinda sucks.

That was interesting what he said about Philion. But anyone that watched did notice his drop in defensive performance. I can see the NBA holding that against him.

That’s one of the things I love most about Oats. He doesn’t bullshite or sugarcoat anything. In this world of cliches and coach speak he’s going to give it real.

I don’t really believe that reasoning when Acuff/Brown/Wagler went top 10.

I think a big part of Philon's drop was his weight. He was told to gain weight, and didnt. He is one of the lightest players in the league.

May not be completely true about Philon dropping a bit ion the draft due to defense but I love Oats putting it in our players' minds.

Really hate Philon ended up there. He’s struggled to get minutes. Only played two minutes last night. Only played significantly in two games and one they were resting LeBron and the other they were resting Edgecomb I think.

Anyone watch the women's team last night? Really shitty opponent but the sets we ran were really good.

Yeah he probably loves his situation and thanks God every day he go drafted to a team that has LeBron, Embiid, Maxey and Jalen Brown on it giving him a soft landing and lots of veteran leadership, advice and game.

yeah but, i do believe nil has affected oats ability to teach free-throw shooting and inbounds plays. got to blame something. these are the two most obvious areas of continued struggle under oats. js...

We were top 40 in the country in FT shooting last year and shot 77%. Our Final 4 year we were top 30 in the country and shot 78%…..
Inbound plays we are fine.
Only thing Oats struggles with is not using his Timeouts to halt a run by the other team

I don't think struggle is the right word. It's just a tactical difference in opinion. He simply doesn't believe in using timeouts to slow down a run. I disagree with him on that, but it's a small thing to complain about relative to the big picture.

I think this season's team may have some struggles at the FT line, but man I don't get where you're seeing where we have struggled under Oats with that. His FF team was money from the line, and that was in the NIL era.
As for inbounding - yeah it's still an area of concern. There's occasions where we do draw something good. Look at Oats' first season when we played auburn at home. There was a really nice design to get Petty a bucket from halfcourt. Helped us maintain momentum. But other times, he's failed (Tennessee a few years ago when we lost on a halfcourt buzzer beater).

This is the only thing I find unfortunate. He defended his decision last season after Arizona went on a run. Think he said something along the lines of "what do you want me to tell them? Play harder?". He's had a few games where I think a timeout helps prevent the game from getting out of hand (multiple games vs Florida for example).
I see his perspective on it but I'm not on board with it. Timeouts can be used pretty well to regroup your guys and help stop momentum from the other team. Duke did it very well vs us in the Elite 8. Any time we had the slightest bit of a run, Scheyer called a timeout.

Literally my only complaint. I've heard his explanation and I disagree with it. I can understand letting guys play through runs against cupcakes and other learning opportunities. But in big games, use your timeouts.

I’m with y’all on this. The timeout thing drives me nuts. When I read “what do you want me to tell them to play harder?!?”. My response was no, you don’t have to say anything like that. Just have them sit there and get their wits about them again instead of watching it all burn to the ground. Sometimes a team needs a few seconds to regroup. That shite makes me want to fight Nate.
