This has driven me crazy all year.

When I was driving home listening to TJ Saturday I was kind of shocked by him citing effort/physicality in ways to improve. He's got to be careful with that because if players continue to give it their all and that's the scapegoat in post-game shows he will lose them.
I still contend they are fatigued. When your legs are gone, hard to hit shots, that is just a well documented fact. When we can't score in the second half and then get completely waxed in overtime tells this team doesn't have the juice for 40 minutes, let alone 45. Mental mistakes get made with more fatigue as well. It is disturbing to see TJ say they just need to work harder. I think they need to work smarter, and that includes the coaches making the proper adjustments and employing the right schemes. The players need to take care of the damn ball. NEVER, should there be 4 turnover in a row. After 3 in a row a time out needs to be called.
I think I would pump the brakes a little bit. I like the foundation TJ is establishing, but it's really early in his tenure here.
’87-88 was (largely)disheartening, given the roster (Woods and Born were solid contributors).
At one point, endured a 7-game losing streak … although it was no easy stretch of opponents, including eventual tournament teams:
at Missouri (1 and done)
Oklahoma (twice) (national runner-up)
at Kansas State (Elite 8)
at Kansas (National champ, although was only 11-8 entering the ISU game)
ISU won four of last five regular season games and managed to sneak in as a 12 seed, then got bounced (expectedly).
I would like to know what he means when he says they need to work harder especially when using an offense that isn’t working

Exactly. It is early in his tenure. Tough to resurrect Hilton Magic after it was banished by Prohm. We will have struggles as we build our Program. Some very nice talent coming for next year. It will be a process.
Hunter is not going anywhere. He's a Cyclone until he decides to play for money.
A lot to dissect here.
Do you believe sports reporters/sports media don’t “understand” the “work” or the “industry”?
The OP or myself never said some “random person” that “doesn’t know anything” about the job should be asking questions. I doubt that would ever be the case in this situation.
On the last paragraph… I don’t see this happening often. Unless you believe that the media doesn’t “understand” the “work” or “industry”. I’d disagree with you if that’s what you believe.. I personally think they understand and understand pretty well.
I think we just identified the issue here. I would love to know why odd things are happening in this stretch. That said, I certainly am not demanding like many in this thread.
I mean there's a wide gap between demanding and wanting it to be asked.
Explain why you hate him without using politics.
We all know you’re simple, and not very bright, but that guy is actually a teacher.
What that state senator is doing actively impacting his life.
Take it to the cave then. That's what it's for.
Not sure how a person can dumb this post. The usual suspects I suppose but not sure if anything you said is controversial.
