There are not many players that can handle ICE when he is pushing the ball down the court and into the lane on every possession. I wish he would do this all the time. He is built like a football player and easily muscles his way into the lane.

The Boone twins have been playing great and could start, but they seem to be okay with coming off the bench. Plus Kalib tends to get into foul trouble quickly until he settles down, so it may be best to always have him coming off the bench.

Avery has really been struggling this season. I think he is trying to do too much and it might take some pressure off if he is coming off the bench. Plus Bryce Williams has earned a starting spot.

Personally, I think these are your starting 5 and the other players come off the bench in this order.

STARTERS
C = Moussa Cisse
PF = Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe
SF = Bryce Williams
SG = Bryce Thompson
PG = Isaac Likekele

BENCH
Kalib Boone (C, PF)
Keylan Boone (SG, SF, PF)
Avery Anderson III (PG,SG)
Rondel Walker (SG, SF)
Woody Newton (SG, SF)

BLOWOUT GAMES
Chris Harris (SG)
Tyreek Smith (SF, PF)
Donovan Williams (SG, SF)

I really like Mike Boynton as a person and really want him to be successful at oSu. He is a very likeable person, dedicated to oSu, proud of our past, and a great recruiter. However, there are things Boynton must improve going forward.

1) Shot Selection - We are not a great shooting team, but that mostly has to do with poor shot selection allowed by coach Boynton. Additionally, the number of players who are allowed to shoot a 3pt shot should always be restricted. Plus, there needs to be consequences if a player takes a bad shot (i.e. a short leash like Eddie Sutton used during his coaching career to teach players and demand their best). Additionally, Boynton needs to consider having a short leash for players taking contested shots or deep shots behind the 3pt line with more than 10 seconds on the shot clock (even if the player makes the shot). This type of behavior should be an automatic benching & chewing out by the coaching staff (i.e. a teaching moment). Otherwise, the team will shoot a poor percentage (2pt & 3pt) & it will be very difficult for a team to get into any kind of offensive flow if players are continually taking poor shots early in the shot clock (i.e. contested 3pt shots, 3pt shots way behind the line, etc). This is a main reason why we are so inconsistent. If 3 pt shots are falling we look unbeatable, but when they aren't we struggle mightily with mediocre teams. In other words, players must be taught and shown in film sessions the difference between a good & bad shot. Plus we should not be shooting more than 15 three-pointers a game or will continue to be a very streaky & Jekyll and Hyde team.

2) Player Development - The coaches need to focus on drills in practice to help make players better. When I was coaching, we would never scrimmage until after the first of the year (never more than 15 minutes). We would spend a lot of time focusing on fundamentals throughout the ENTIRE SEASON. Literally every minute of practice was well thought out to focus on areas the team needed to improve throughout the season and every minute was scheduled out for some type of drill (shooting, passing dribbling) or taking the time to diligently teach where each player goes in our quick hitters, offensive sets, defensive sets, out of bounds plays, transition offense, etc. We would have one of the basketball managers on the shot clock to set times so we moved from one drill or activity to the next. It wasn't until we were close to tournament time when practices needed to be shorter and fun (due to the long season and the mental drain on players who may not want the season to continue any longer).

Some of the drills we did EVERY DAY throughout the entire season included entry passes into the post (typically bounce passes), defensive rotations, taking charges, boxing out drills, etc. In one of the passing into the post drills, we would not allow the offensive player to dribble and the defender was allowed to be up in their face so they would be forced to step around & work on making contested bounce passes into the post (this helped cut down our average per game turnovers). We would also make ALL players do conditioning drills with a basketball in their hand (dribble down with their off hand and return with their dominant hand). This made all players much more comfortable with the ball during a game (especially post players who don't typically handle the ball) and made it very hard for teams to press us. Additionally, at the end of every practice when players are tired, each player should have to make between 3-10 free throws consecutively before leaving. Early in the season you should start with 3 and every 2 weeks it should increase by 1 until we get to 10 (which made the poor free throw shooters practice this more on their own time). For accountability, all assistant coaches & managers had to stay at a basket to verify.

If any team can shoot above 70% from the free throw line, keep turnovers under 10 a game, win the rebounding margin, and hold teams below their scoring average, those teams will win nearly all of their games. However, MOST players coaches are either too lazy or just don't know what they are doing and therefore scrimmage way too much. Scrimmaging in practice is easy and it is something the players want, but great coaches will always push their players to get better every single day (even when it isn't a popular decision amongst the players).

3) Substitutions & Roles - Finding the right lineup against each opponent is important, but it is even more important to play the right players during a game based on their strengths and the weaknesses of the other team. This type of role can be delegated to one assistant. A good example is Baylor, who uses an assistant coach to do all substitutions (but a head coach can always override any substitution). Additionally, the coaching staff must constantly communicate these roles to each player on the team during each practice and before each game. These roles can change throughout the season or between games, but the staff needs to be VERY CLEAR ON THOSE ROLES or you'll have a bunch of players playing selfish and playing for themselves. Additionally, the staff needs to make sure they communicate each player's strengths and weaknesses (including areas each player can improve in practice and things they need to minimize in games).

It is also extremely important for a head coach to check in with his players one-on-one sometime each month (over lunch or dinner). This helps to foster these relationships (let's the players know the coach cares & the majority of the time should be spent talking about school & family), helps to keep open lines of communication (by talking to the player about their strengths, weaknesses, role, & the best way for them to help the team). Plus this helps players from becoming disgruntled because they haven't felt heard or utilized in some way to help the team.

Additionally, somebody on staff should provide all players a playbook and a scouting report before each game. Both of these should be used to quiz players who earn points (early in the season before conference play), which determines the starting lineup before each game. The formula to determine the starting lineup in non conference play is determined by these tests (50%), placement during conditioning drills (10%), shooting drills (10%), free throw drills (15%), and passing drills (15%). Obviously this is just an example and these percentages can be adjusted by the head coach (to put more emphasis in different areas and to give each player an opportunity to start a game). Team chemistry can be hurt when a player doesn't feel like they'll ever get a chance to showcase their skills and make an impression. This gives every player an equal opportunity to start a game and earn playing time during the non-conference.

It doesn't mean Boynton has to play these players all game (or even an extended amount of time), but the coaching staff should start these players and play them for the first 2 to 5 minutes (giving these players an opportunity to start a game and make an impression). This gives players hope and rewards them for their hard work. Typically, basketball teams average about 1.5 points per minute so we are not talking about putting the team in a hole they cannot get out of by the end of the game (in a worst case scenario).

4) End Game Coaching - It would be good for Boynton to delegate this responsibility to a coach who can make sure every member on the team knows who should be fouled in late games. Then have that coach teach the players how to leave these players open long enough so the other team passes the ball to them (so they can foul these players). In addition, if the other team is intentionally fouling us with fouls to give, Boynton should be reminded who the best ball handlers and decision makers are to put in the game. This is different when teams are fouling us in a close game and we are in the bonus. In that scenario, we need our best free throw shooters and decision makers on the floor. Therefore, before each game one of the assistant coaches should create a list so Boynton knows the best lineups in different scenarios. For example, during the last 2 minutes of a game when we need defensive stops, or need a bucket, or need to hit free throws, or need a rebound, or need to break a press.

5 best defenders (circumstances would dictate the 5 in the lineup)
F = Moussa Cisse, Kalib Boone, Tyreek Smith, Keylan Boone

5) Timeouts - Better use of timeouts to disrupt and help stop large runs by other teams and to "gather the troops." During this time he can remind players of things they need to be doing (hands up on defense, taking charges, pushing the ball in transition) and NOT doing (like being careless with the ball or shooting a contested shot early in the shot clock). And he must not call a timeout directly after the other team scores. That gives the other team a free chance to set up a full court pressure defense (this is also extremely important when the other team has run out of timeouts towards the end of a game). Instead oSu should quickly inbound the ball and advance it to half court before calling a timeout.

6) Transition Offense - We have multiple PG's on our team and really need to push the ball down the court after EVERY MISSED SHOT to set the tempo. This is typically done with the pass unless there is a ball handler who is quicker than the defense (i.e. Jawun Evans) or strong enough to bully his way to the basket (i.e. Ice & Eaton). Plus this is a great way to WEAR DOWN other teams who aren't as deep and helps the team get layups & uncontested shots. One way to accomplish this is to have the defender who is the farthest from the rim immediately RELEASE AFTER ANY PERIMETER 3 POINT SHOT (to start the break). Plus, our team is at their best in transition (open 3 point shots and finishing strong at the rim).

7) Defensive Calls - Use different defenses to change up the flow of a game especially when the offense is struggling, or when the defense is struggling, or when certain players are in the game and need to be hidden due to their deficiencies on defense, or when we just need to change the flow of the game. In our arsenal, we really need a high pressure 1-3-1 half court trapping defense to be used sparingly to get a spark when the offense isn't scoring. Also, we need to have 3 different full court TRAPPING presses; (1) a full court press with the tallest most agile defender on the ball applying ball pressure, (2) or a full court press with the on-ball defender with his back to the ball and doubling any guard coming near him, (3) or a full court press with the best shot blocker back protecting the rim. Plus, three different types of pressure calls can be added to these full court presses to ramp up the pressure even more. For example, you can add a high pressure call (orange) when players are between the ball and their player, a medium pressure call (gray) when players half front the other player, and a low pressure call (white) when the defender is always positioned behind the other player. And once the ball is inbounded we MUST IMMEDIATELY TRAP, slap at the ball, tie up the other player for a jump ball, deflect a pass, steal a pass, etc. However, we typically just turn around and get into our half court defense once the ball has been safely inbounded instead of trapping (this makes absolutely no sense and it happens every game). This team has the ATHLETIC ABILITY and DEPTH to finally be a full court pressing team. Not only will a full court press begin to wear out and frustrate the other team, but it can also create offense when the team is struggling to score. Plus, nearby players can be taught to swipe/poke at the ball, take charges, and run through passing lanes (i.e. anticipate passes). Additionally, we ONLY need to use the 2-2-1 full court no pressure defense (to slow teams down when we have a lead). This type of defense is only good to slow a team down and rarely creates turnovers unless that team tries to rush. This defense should NOT be used when our team is down or time is running out.

8) Defensive Hands Up - It is lazy defense when players stand around on defense and don't have their hands up & active. A good example of how this little change can have a drastic effect on a defense is to look at any Syracuse defense or West Virginia full court press defense. When ALL defensive players have their hands up and active, it creates FEWER passing lanes and puts more pressure on a player which can lead to more turnovers. When I coached I was always communicating this to my players anytime their hands went down by their sides. If a player had to be reminded over-and-over I would take them out of the game to remind them and have them think about it. Typically, a player only needed this type of reminder once an entire game. Eventually, this culture and expectation becomes a habit by mid-season.

9) Taking Charges - We are horrible about giving up too many easy layups and offensive rebounds because everyone is trying to block a shot. The coaching staff should consider teaching the players how to better take a charge (by taking one step FORWARD and TOWARDS the offensive players dribbling hand which shortens the distance and makes it harder for the offensive player to avoid the charge). Currently, too many teams are making their way into the lane without anyone stepping over to take a charge because every player wants to block a shot. However, our staff can change this culture by ADDING INCENTIVES for players taking charges in games by starting those players with the most charges at the beginning of the second half of a game (2-5 minutes). If a player takes a charge in the second half give those players less running at the end of the next practice.

10) Brad Underwood Offense - I am hopeful we could see this offense again at some point in the season. This offense was one of the best in oSu history and a top 3 offense in the entire country.

11) Zone Offense - I am absolutely surprised more teams don't zone us for the entire game. We're not great outside shooters, too many players are given the green light to shoot, and the players tend to force contested outside shots. This all adds up to a recipe for disaster and I'm surprised other teams are not watching games from the beginning of the 2021-22 season or previous years to figure this out. In any case, we need a new zone offense to get better shots. The current zone offense leaves a bunch of guys standing around and trying to force passes that get deflected and ultimately result in turnovers.

February 19, 2022 (KSU)
Today Kalib didn't start, but he comes off the bench to dominate the first half. In the second half, he doesn't play for the first 12 minutes after we had taken a good size lead and Boynton asked the team to slow down and go to a half court game. However, the best low post scorer on the team is Kalib Boone. He knows it. The fans know it. The team knows it. That would make it very frustrating because everybody knows he could be helping the team a lot more than he currently does, but Boynton doesn't get it. Instead, Boynton is still learning roster management and we're on year 5.

Eventually Kalib did enter the game in the second half, but Boynton had him setting screens at the three-point line instead of posting up. That was our second half offense that Boynton called after he asked the team to slow down. Instead, Boynton should have been feeding Kalib the ball in the post. Additionally, KSU's best low post player had 4 fouls and he would have been guarding Kalib.

Regarding Kalib's bad defense, that has a lot to do with Boynton's philosophy on ball screens. Most coaches don't mind switching guard to guard, but most would agree you should NEVER switch a big man against a guard. KSU exploited these mismatches on almost every possession. They would wait for our big man to switch and then drive right past him for an easy layup or drop it off to a cutting player for a dunk. By the way, Eddie Sutton NEVER allowed any switching. I'm not against guard to guard switching, but a big man against any guard on the perimeter is a recipe for disaster. Plus, once that player drives past our big man our defense is sent scrambling. This typically results in a layup or an open three point shot for the other team.

Boynton had Kalib on the perimeter again setting screens, not the best use of his talent. The two times he was in the post he scored once and had a bad turnover. Personally, I would like to see Kalib get more minutes unless he gets into foul trouble. He is a great shot blocker, last year he was the second best rebounder (per minute) only second to his brother, and he is by far the most gifted low post scorer we've had in a very long time. Additionally, I think he can play PF, which is his natural position. There are not many in the league who could stop him at PF position. Plus, if the other big comes and doubles then all he has to do is float a pass around the rim and let Moussa Cisse do the rest.

If Boynton is pulling Kalib for turnovers, there are other people that need to be pulled after one turnover (or a poor shot). For example, Coach Sutton considered anyone taking a poor shot the same as a turnover (and we take a lot of bad shots under Boynton). I really wish he would hold players accountable for taking bad shots (i.e. when the shot clock still has more than 10 seconds and we take a contested three-point shot or take a shot way beyond the 3 point line).

Watch the video below at the 1:01 mark. Then again at the 2:05. Obviously, these are highlights of the game and therefore only show made baskets. On the first shot, Bryce Thompson was falling out of bounds with a guy in his face with 17 seconds on the clock. On the second shot, Bryce Williams is 4 feet beyond the 3 point line with 23 seconds left on the shot clock. There are many other bad shots that were taken during this game, but they were missed and therefore won't show up on a highlight reel.




Additionally, you have to question why was Isaac Likekele was in the game for the final shot. If he is inside the 3 point line the other team WOULD HAVE fouled him and he would have been forced to make both free throws to tie the game (season free throw percentage = 53.6%). If he is caught outside the 3 point line his chances of making a contested 3 point shot are slim (season three point percentage = 26.6%). Boynton should have made an offensive substitution based on past metrics data.

This current roster is stacked and one of the most talented we've EVER had in Stillwater. Just look at wins over teams like Baylor and Texas where we went toe-to-toe with teams with great talent. Then you look at losses to teams like Oakland and realize these inconsistencies are due to POOR COACHING. Imagine what Coach Eddie Sutton could have done with this lineup (or a coach like Kelvin Sampson).

5 star Bryce Thompson G 6'5" 195 lbs
Strengths = ability to create his own shot, athletic ability
Weaknesses = decision making (forcing contested shots), free throw shooting

5 star Moussa Cisse F 7'0" 225 lbs
Strengths = athletic ability, shot blocking ability, rebounding (but still under performs)
Weaknesses = shooting, low post moves, free throw shooting, decision making (passing)

4 star Avery Anderson G 6'3" 170 lbs
Strengths = ability to create his own shot, athletic ability, defense (on ball defender and could be one of the best in the country but doesn't give the same effort every possession), free throw shooting, rebounding
Weaknesses = decision making (forces too many bad shots & head scratching passes), ball handing (left hand), due to his athleticism he tries to block too many too many shots and should focus on taking charges and slapping away the ball, inconsistent play (tries to do too much instead letting the game come to him and needs to eliminate number of mistakes)

4 star Kalib Boone F 6'9" 210 lbs
Strengths = athletic ability, post offensive skills, 2pt shooting percentage, shot blocking ability, rebounding (but still under performs)
Weaknesses = decision making (passing), tries to block everything and that gets him into foul trouble

4 star Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe F 6'7" 215 lbs
Strengths = athletic ability, driving to the lane, ability to create his own shot, rebounding (but still under performs)
Weaknesses = over confident in dribbling ability (dribbles too much in transition which usually results in a turnover), free throw shooting, decision making (passing)

4 star Rondel Walker G 6'5" 180 lbs
Strengths = defense (on ball defender), free throw shooting
Weaknesses = shooting (streaky)

4 star Bryce Williams G 6'2" 180 lbs
Strengths = defense (on ball defender), athletic ability, free throw shooting, decision making (passing but isn't consistent and would be much better in his natural position at SG/SF)
Weaknesses = decision making (forcing contested shots)

4 star Woody Newton G/F 6'8" 200 lbs
Strengths = athletic ability
Weaknesses = strength (needs to add weight), decision making (forcing contested shots), free throw shooting, shooting (streaky)

4 star Tyreek Smith F 6'7" 220 lbs
Strengths = athletic ability, energy & hustle, shot blocking ability, rebounding
Weaknesses = shooting (away from the basket), free throw shooting, decision making (passing)

4 star Chris Harris Jr. G 6'2" 200 lbs
Strengths = shooting
Weaknesses = decision making (forcing contested shots), athletic ability

4 star Donovan Williams G 6'5" 200 lbs
Strengths = drives to the hoop, shot selection (takes good shots), defense
Weaknesses = athletic ability, free throw shooting

3 star Isaac Likekele G/F 6'5" 215 lbs
Strengths = decision making (shooting & passing), defense (on ball defender), toughness, ball handling, rebounding, leader
Weaknesses = 3pt shooting, free throw shooting

3 star Keylan Boone G/F 6'8" 200 lbs
Strengths = elite rebounding ability, athletic ability, free throw shooting, defense (has ability to be one of the best lockdown defenders on the team)
Weaknesses = shooting (streaky), decision making (passing & forcing contested shots)

3 star Bernard Kouma F 6'10" 240 lbs
Strengths = effort, rebounding
Weaknesses = athletic ability, shooting ability, decision making (passing)

As a whole, the team needs to work on the following areas:
1) free throw shooting (which could have changed the outcome in MANY games)
2) shooting (we are impatient and take too many contested shots early in the shot clock and don't wait for a better or easier shot)
3) passing (the BIGS all need to work on their passing from the post, on the perimeter, and to start any transition offense and decision making by the guards who try to force ill-advised passes in transition)
4) rebounding (on defense finding a nearby player and turning to block them out - not standing around waiting for a rebound so they can outjump the other person which is lazy)

I wish Boynton would lean on the two former head coaches on staff. Each has 18 years of experience as a head coach and each has over +300 wins. Together they have 36 years years of head coaching experience and 639 wins. Additionally, they have a total of 65 years of coaching experience. Boynton doesn't even turn to them for their input during games and has relegated both to analyst roles. Another example of mismanagement by Boynton or possibly a pride thing (pride comes before the fall).

For example, Scott Sutton & Barry Hinson just stand around away from the other coaches who are in his ear during timeouts. Personally, I think Boyton wastes way too much time during these timeout huddles with his coaches. If there's not a TV time out, he only has 30 to 60 seconds to talk with his players. Good coaches will utilize all of this time to remind players what they're doing right, wrong, warn them of things to watch out for in the game, remind them who to foul at certain points during the game, and occasionally draw up plays. Usually the coaches who are clueless and don't know what they're doing (during timeouts) will either be yelling at the refs or finding other ways to pass time because they don't what to say to their players.

Going forward, if Boynton is learning from his mistakes he will assign specific roles to each of his staff members (like fouls, substitutions, etc). This is a double check system to make sure Boynton doesn't forget these very important items during games. Good coaches do this and the best coaches understand their own strengths and weaknesses to make sure they are doing everything in their power to cover up those weaknesses.

The 2021-22 team was the most talented, athletic, and deepest team I've ever seen play at oSu. However, our team was a mess this year. The players didn't know their roles, nor were they led by someone that knew what they're doing. I love Mike Boynton the person, but he's NOT a good coach.

Boynton needed to lead and could have done this by defining roles in the preseason and throughout the year. However, when your head coach is telling you that you're a point guard (MAM) and also tells it to the media you probably start thinking it in your head. MAM was REALLY GOOD as a freshman and wasn't a walking turnover. This year it showed he didn't know his strengths and weaknesses and neither did his head coach. It falls on the head coach for not clearly defining roles and for not holding players accountable. As much as I want Mike Boynton to be successful, he just doesn't have it in him and he seems TOO STUBBORN to listen to others.

Additionally, the high turnover of staff and players are HUGE RED FLAGS and should be a major concern by the athletic director. Already 5 players have hit the portal and we haven't even hit the deadline. Personally, if I was a player at Oklahoma State I would go play for the best coach in the state who happens to be Paul Mills (ORU) or see if Calvin Sampson (Houston) has any roster spot openings (the guy is a legend and does so much with a fraction of the talent we have).

I really like Boynton the person! I hope he has learned from past mistakes and starts to become less of a player's coach. He also needs to delegate different areas of coaching to other assistant coaches to make him a better head coach in 2022-23. I also hope the coaching staff focuses on player development and less on scrimmaging during practice. This will go a long ways towards making this team better after each and every game.

Additionally, Coach Sutton considered anyone taking a poor shot the same as a turnover (and we take a lot of bad shots under Boynton). I really wish he would hold players accountable for taking bad shots (i.e. when the shot clock still has more than 10 seconds and we take a contested three-point shot or take a shot way beyond the 3 point line). This is why his teams continue to shoot a low percentage behind the 3pt line. It's not entirely on the players. The lack of coaching and holding players accountable for bad shots is the bigger issue.

It has been said by multiple people that he is a player's coach. Most of time this is a hard thing to balance for any coach, teacher, or parent. Most don't understand they MUST BE THE ADULT AT ALL TIMES. That means hard conversations, holding players accountable, and doing things that the players won't like. Coaches can be friendly, but at the end of the day coaches must do what's best for that individual, team, and must be the adult.

Coach Boynton recently talked about NIL being a big reason his teams are not doing well. However, his teams have been inconsistent and bad his entire tenure. Here's a look back at things that he needed to change that still haven't, which is why the outcome is still the same.

Additionally, NIL started in the summer of 2021 and really wasn't a major thing until the following summer of 2022.
