Awful season this year. Huge letdowns all the way around. OSU was a big win at the time but turned out to be a game we should’ve won. This program had its best chance last year and the year before and blew it. Hobbs should keep his Rolodex handy because if Brecht yet again has a bad year next year he should be canned

Our shooting hasn't been great, but the star of this game is Penn St's D.

This is the best they have played.

Mullins is having a horrible game. And we can't get a ground ball.

Geezus, even when we have the ball we don't have it. Tough day.

Yeah, they’re playing great on D NO question, but it’s up to OUR OC to adjust on the fly And that seems to be a problem for him.

We don't have anyone who is winning match ups today.

They score after another turnover. A senseless turnover.

I keep getting back to their D though. If they play like this, I don't see anyone beating them. Their D was always there achilles heel. They have a ton of talent, but they were disorganized.

Today, in this game, they aren't. As their coach said, they are playing very connected. Easier to do when you are winning every match up.

There are zero adjustments you can make when you don't have one guy who can beat their man.

This isn't pinball lacrosse.

This is getting embarrassing. 3 rebound goals now, bad post-goal penalty, can’t score, yikes.

It's target practice now.

They move the ball better than any team we've seen this year.

I’ve given up on getting you to admit that our coaching staff ever makes a single mistake. So I’m just gonna talk to everybody else about it lol...

So to everyone else: our coaching this off week, got destroyed by Penn State’s coaching, and our coaching during this game today, sucks.

I have said many mistakes. A big one starting Gallagher at midfield.

Tell you what though. Their coach makes $800K more than ours.

You making up that difference? Please do. We can go get Tierney.

Please tell the crew, Nuts.

When you can't beat one guy one on one, what do you do?

In done. This is awful. Putting The Five on lol!

Not so fast! I want to know what you'd do when you can't beat any of their defenders one on one.

Tell us. I've played the game my whole life and don't know.

When you lose by a goal at the buzzer to a team on their turf, a week goes by, and you get annihilated by that same team on your turf, how do you not blame it on coaching?

You blamed that loss on coaching too.

How do you adjust on the fly when nobody is getting open. Is there anything you WON'T blame on coaching?

OK fine, then unlike every other sport, you don’t adjust on the fly. You adjust during the week which, apparently, they did and we didn’t.

Is there ANYTHING you WILL blame on coaching?

I’m asking what adjustments do you make, during the week or not, when you can’t win a one on one match up? What does Coach Nuts do?

After last week's performance the only adjutmet to be made was not to hit the post. They obviously failed. Fire the OC for too many posts.

Such a disappointing season. Turned it off before end of first half. All the respect for coach, staff and players but Coach has got to get the players fired up and mentally prepared. The second half collapses is a problem.

Again: THEY clearly adjusted during the week so obviously it’s possible lol!!!

I am not asking what they did. I am asking you, as a Coach, what adjustments do you make when you can't win a one on one match up?

You're the one making a the statement. What do you do? You keep evading the question.

I’m not a coach, I don’t get paid that kind of money, so you’re asking the wrong person and you know it. If you don’t think that coaching was a problem today I don’t know what to tell you because it was And everyone on earth can see it other than you and two other posters. I guess the rest of us are all wrong lol...

Bottom line is it’s glaringly obvious that one team adjusted during the week, after a tight one goal game last week, and the other team did it. That’s on coaching. How on earth anyone can question that is mine boggling to me [cheers]

So you are just talking. Got it.

You are making statements you can't back up. That's all I needed to hear.

You're right. You aren't the coach. You don't know the game, and you don't like listening to those who do.

What adjustments did they make? This should be good.

This season sucked balls. Then to have it end with the suckiest loss of all is just fitting This team just never put it together, somethings just not clicking between this new coaching staff and players. Maybe it's just the talent. However, the previous two years we seemed to be in constant attack mode. This year seemed more stop, think, then ****** shot or turn it over.

We had a lot of new faces, or old faces in new roles. I think we all downplayed that. Throw in some new coaches and in retrospect, some growing pains should have been expected.

Get the facility built, keep getting better recruits, keep coaching em up.

The B1G is a monster. Every program is expecting to win.

@Golfer2019 liked what I saw from 44. He's an athletic kid. If he can get the defensive concepts down, with our system, he will get a lot of unsettled, broken field opportunities to unleash that cannon. Hope he embraces that role. I know I would if I was on the squad.
