Kopp played alright thru January. We had lost 8 straight by then. After Feb 1 his play was significantly worse.
Buie was particularly bad during the first 11 losses, except for the Penn State game. Buie scored 3 points or less in SIX of those losses. He had exactly one good game where he made over 40% of his shots.
It is not difficult to imagine that Kopp, having attended a Christian school in Texas, felt totally at odds with his classmates and teammates over political issues and all the hyper-progressive attitudes. If I were a Collins' apologist, thats what I would be proclaiming. It wasn't the coaching staff, it was that Kopp hated going to school at NU. Covid restrictions on campus and in Evanston were very strict. Winter quarter is the worst. And Miller actually loved Coach Collins, who is a great coach.
Anybody buy that?
