New ISU coach Schertz keeps busy with transition
The Tribune-Star spoke with new Indiana State men's basketball coach Josh Schertz on Tuesday as he continues to try and mold the Sycamores' program in the way he wants.
A lot of good stuff in this article, including this about Tyreke Key...
"We're giving him his space to make a decision, he's earned that right. He's an unbelievably accomplished player and a great kid and already an all-time great at Indiana State. He's quiet. He's not talkative, but incredibly observant. We're not giving him a deadline or timeline. He's at every single workout and works as hard as any player I've coached in 23 years. He's a great kid and whatever his decision is? We'll respect it," Schertz said.”
I’m guessing when they say total compensation they are including radio show and endorsements and the like. Not all just straight salary.
Never mind. Just finished reading the article and it says salary will be 248k with incentives and media getting him to 300k
Coach Shertz states he's looking for shooters with (3) remaining scholarships and he DOES want to keep Odum on staff if some things can be worked out. Jake has been at every workout so far.

Did he say 3 remaining scholarships? W/O Neese, I count 5. I guess that means were limiting it at 13 including returning seniors.
I guess if i was the coach, I wouldn't want to try to keep 15 kids happy either.
With the flexibility of the 1 or 2 seniors, I guess we are planning 3 more whether Neese stays or not.
2 or 3 that can shoot with 1 or 2 being bigs?

I Hope Larry is in the gym all day and night putting up shots because he is currently the anti-schertz system.
Thing about him though, he showed potential to be a shooter. Just gotta tweak his form and shoot a ton.
No he hasn’t showed any potential. Quit lying to people. He’s a D1 PG who just shot 27% from 3pt and 31% from the field. Opponents were literally daring him to shoot all season. Don’t try and spin this off... People read this stuff - you can’t just say whatever makes people feel better. Sometimes the truth hurts.
Get off his back. Those are freshman numbers. Most FR are sitting on the bench or redshirting. Barnes and Key both shot around 36% as FR and they were shooters.

It's the truth. He wasn't a primary role in the offense, when you're not a confident shooter, and you aren't a primary role you aren't going to shoot well. You could see issues with almost our entire team and confidence. Schertz doesn't make people unconfident and that's going to be one thing that will help him. 10/37 shows potential to become a quality shooter and I don't see how it doesn't. He wasn't a primary scorer or shooter and was not confident.
Larry's job this year was to pass and be a defender which is what he did very well. He wasn't a shooter, you can't expect a guy who gets no confidence and isn't a primary role in the offense to shoot 40% from 3. Not to mention he was literally a freshman you're critiquing him like he has been a starter for 3 seasons and has been lackluster. We didn't lose 1 game because Larry wasn't making shots. And again he wasn't a primary scorer only 4 PPG.
With the right coach, whom we have one of the better offensive coaches you can have. Watch this season when Larry is more confident and I guarantee you his 3 point percentage will go up. Larry looked scared to shoot and it's not his fault he was, he was a true freshman, not a primary scorer, and his role wasn't to shoot.
Confidence is the biggest thing Larry can do and I think Schertz will identify that and encourage him.
Potential is not about freshman numbers, it's about where those numbers can go and he was not a great shooter this season, you're right there. But saying he has no potential is just plain wrong.
He was absolutely improving at the 3-point line, there's no spin to it.
He started the season 0-9 from three point range....and most of those shots were absolutely and utterly atrocious, like, screaming at television not to shoot it, atrocious.
After that 0-9 start, he finished the season 10-28 (35.7%).
EDIT: actually, he started 0-10 and finished 10-27 for 37% (but who's counting?)

I think arguing his stats isn't good use of time with regards to Larry. The issue with him is his form. It is very difficult to change your form. It can be done, but even pros find it very difficult to change shooting form that has become engrained behavior. Ask Shaq with free throws.
The hitch in his shot and the fact it almost starts at his chest make it very difficult to be effective unless he is wide open to get in rhythm, balanced looks. If he cannot reform this, it is critical he develops an attack the basket/drive and kick mentality. Just my opinion.

What we need more of is someone to penetrate and kick it out, finish at the rim or finish from 10 ft.; and to make the right decision. I see too many players not shooting when they are open in the lane.
And to that point, do they practice 12 ft jump shots?
