The question of Pingeton.... you know it’s odd in the years up to and including Cunningham I would say Pingeton’s team ran really efficient offense’s . The passing was good and the ball sharing always there. They had a run of decent shooting teams.
It leads me to believe the fall is largely the result of a drop off in talent, and more pointedly a mix of players who cant or won’t play and succeed in the present offense.
With teams and rosters like MU the line between staying close and winning many games and losing is pretty fine.
This team will almost for sure mix in a bunch of the silliest turnovers , often unforced.
Other issues ...not taking the shot when it’s there , too much indecision .
The real back breaker right now is the inability to get Blackwell and Dickson to play under control and within the offense on a consistent basis . If they did they are arguably the two most dynamic offensive players. I doubt that’s ever going to change.
As much as I root for Frank she takes a long time to get her shot off and her offensive game is kinda limited.
So you add in Troup who also very slow ....and Williams is a good finisher but soft and foul prone ...
I still hope this team can perform better than they have shown but if so it’s on Pingeton to get this team to settle down.
It’s often pointed to the Cunningham era as the one with the generational player , and thus everything before and after. Cunningham was a good player and the ultimate achiever and team player...and yet .. no good program would regard her as the be all end all. Her being a Tiger shouldn’t have been an excuse for drop off in talent and wins. Cunningham ultimately was and all time MU great but not irreplaceable.
I’d probably keep Pingeton ..unless you had a chance to land a real fast rising star who could really recruit, like Baranczyk at Drake.
