HOOPS: McCasland continues to look for defensive growth ahead of Wyoming matchup pres. by BHW Law

Another quality conversation with HC Grant McCasland. Will have another post later with an interesting nugget surrounding scheduling, with some more than just the quote, so look out for that.
Opening Statement:
"Excited to get back to game time playing a Wyoming team that we have some familiarity with, obviously, but, man, they're playing well, and won two games at home, and we respect the way they play. I think they're playing an efficient way right now. And you know, our biggest deal is, how do we continue to improve defensively? I thought we took a step in that direction in the first half, and then had a little stretch where we struggled offensively and it affected us defensively in the last game. So excited to get back out there and get better. Don't know about the status of those guys quite yet and having them to return to play, but looking forward to seeing how they look tomorrow and taking it a day at a time."
When Anderson and Hawkins return, will you move Darrion Williams off the ball since he's playing so well as a facilitator?
"You know, I think the role he's playing right now won't be all that much different. And the biggest thing is just those guys, I think in transition, it opens up the floor a little bit more for them to be more effective. But in the half court, we've been involving (Darrion) in a lot of different ways. And if you look at some of his assists have come from putting him closer to the rim on some dribble down opportunities. So I think he'll get utilized. I mean, the more you move him around, he's such a mismatch. You can put him anywhere. You put him in the middle of the floor, on the ball screen, you put him on the side, you can put him in the block. He's he's really been efficient, he's got a great ability to see all five guys defensively, and that's difficult to teach. We'll continue to involve in in just about every possession he's on the floor."
Chance McMillian has improved at getting downhill and into the paint, was that a point of emphasis this offseason?
"The part that I love about these guys is they all work really hard, and they worked extremely hard in that area. Like, how do we get in the paint? How do we make the right decision? And they learn, like we showed film of a few possessions and scrimmages that nobody saw, that we weren't as efficient in, because you work on scoring and individual things all summer long, and then you go out there and you try to do that when you get the first opportunity. The biggest growth I've seen, is just the simple decision making, where you decide, hey, I'm gonna score this one or I'm gonna live to fight another day and make the next play. And so I think that's been the biggest growth, is the ability to get in there and score. He's got some different finishing opportunities that he's taken advantage of, but really it's about minimizing the low percentage ones and making the next play."
You've talked about looking for an on-ball defender, and how Overton has done some of that, how do you see his defense developing over the season?
"I mean, I think if you look at the last three or four minutes of the game against Northwestern State last week, like KO really locked in to guard the ball, and that's when we had our greatest separation. In the second half, we struggled. We struggled to defend one on one in the perimeter, KO, his length and his versatility and his ability to not only be quick, but to be a problem, because he can contest shots, and he had a couple blocks in the first half just by walling up at the rim with a smaller offensive player. So I thought he was great early, and he was great late. And the thing that I think we need to see continued improvement from everybody is, can we do that for the entire game? I will say this, Christian Anderson and Elijah Hawkins return will will help us significantly at guarding the ball. I mean, their experience up there, and they've done it all their lives, and they have a they have a knack for it. They have a nuance that you have to have. There's physicality. There's also activity level on the ball with your hands and how well you move, and how you make people go where you want to go. I mean, both those guys have great experience doing it, so I think that's what will help us, is you just get reinforcements. And through the first two games, we've had to play through a lot of fatigue, and I think we'll slowly get into where we can play guys less minutes and have more energy and activity to create some deflections. It's the one area that we haven't been great. We haven't really turned anybody over in half court. We've been a little vanilla in that way. We've got to be more active on the ball. And I think being fresher helps us, and having those guys, that's where it really helps us."
What are the biggest threats from the Cowboys this week?
"I mean, coach Wicks, is really a great game planner. I think he proved last year at Green Bay he knows how to win games in a short amount of time, and he's got a knack for finding a way with the roster that he has. And they've got talent. I mean, they've got a good team. I think their inside play has shown to be difficult to defend, and they've got a good plan, and then taking away perimeter threes. The end of the clock, how well do you guard somebody one on one, when they do get in the paint, you know, and they driving in there, how well can we maintain physicality without fouling? And then I think their defense has been really solid. They've been physical and and how well do we handle them all without turning it over?"
How big of an impact has coach Linder had on your program and what do you think this game means to him?
"Coach Linder is a pro. when it comes to coaching and the game and what it means to prepare your team and what it means to run a program. I mean, he's had the winningest season in schools history at both places he's been a head coach. For me, personally, he's a friend, you know, and he's a guy that I trust. And last year, we're playing in the Big 12, I would be like, tell me what you see, you know? I mean, I'd even try to get ahold of him at halftime sometime. I consider him a guy I would talk to if we weren't coaching basketball. He's made a significant impact on our program, and his expectation for winning and execution and how you play this game is at the highest level. You can tell our guys respect him. I mean, he's a student of this game. He loves this game. He really knows what this game means, but he also knows that this is one game on the schedule. And I think his maturity, and he's been coaching long enough and won enough games, and he knows that this is a step in the processes of us preparing for what we want to play for. It's obviously the most important game on our schedule right now, but he's a pro when it comes to this, and honestly, I think he has a lot of respect for this team and for the program that we're facing, and he's got a lot of gratitude, obviously, for the opportunities he had. But at the same time, we all know this is a game, and it's one and you got to be prepared and play it to the best of your ability, and after that, you shake hands and love people and move on."

UPDATE: Everything Joey McGuire said after the Colorado loss pres. by BHW Law

Here's the bulk of what McGuire said post-game, excluding a couple of redundant questions.
Opening Statement:
"Man, there's a lot of things that went wrong tonight. Anytime you give up seven sacks, it's gonna be hard to win. Anytime that you turn the ball over, like we did, it's gonna be hard to win. And then again, the penalties, you know, both teams. There's a lot of penalties in this game, you know. The frustrating thing is we're sitting here at 41-27, it could have been a little bit closer. We give up that one right at the end, on the turnover we don't get in the end zone on 4th and 1. But I'll tell you this man, it's 17-13 and it's 3rd & 7, and we bring pressure, and it's an incomplete pass. And when you watch that play somebody tell me how you can call roughing the passer? How can you not call five obvious facemasks? One they reviewed for targeting, and it wasn't called, and then four others on our running back. It's tough for me to sit here and say too much, because it's 41-27 and you're outside like why I'm saying that, but, you know, in a game like this, we have to be better. Deion is going to say they have to be better, but the officiating has to be better at this level. I'm just I'm frustrated, man, and I hate it. I've got to be better. There was some good things that we did but we did not protect the quarterback. And one reason we didn't protect the quarterback is because we could not run the football in the first half. So anytime you can't run the football, then they're going to come after you. They're leading the Big 12 in sacks not being able to run the football early really hurt us. I don't know man, I thought we were in a really good spot up 13-0 and just just didn't do enough to hold that lead, and then just turnovers and getting our quarterback hit got us in the second half."
What was the main issue in pass protection tonight?
"There's back to back plays, that 98, or 88, ends up in our backfield unblocked on run plays. Lack of communication, mis-IDing the front, that's a mixture of the guys on the field and us as coaches. I think once you get to that point, whenever you're not able to run the football, then you get to a point to where you're behind, and they know you've got to throw the football and push the ball downfield. That's really kind of a couple times they were playing like a Tampa two and a two man. That's why we were running the ball, kind of like the week before, to where they were playing coverage, and we got some big plays, but not being able to run the football, and then them knowing we were gonna have to throw the football really got Behren hit tonight."
Could you walk me through that decision to run a fake punt in the third quarter?
"We didn't get the spacing right. We end up with two guys in the same spot, and so we had one guy that would have been uncovered. That's who we were trying to go to, but we don't get the spacing right. We're trying to go to the inside guy. They both line up too close. And then, you know, I thought that they called pass interference, and they picked the flag up. At that point, we were sitting there. I think it would might have been 31 to 20, with 1:18 left in the third, we hadn't done a lot on offense so we're trying to get some momentum right there."
Did you get any feedback from the refs on that roughing the passer call?
"'I saw that he hit him below the knee.' And I don't know who saw that, he hit him in the in the hip. I mean, it was a great clean hit that would have forced them to punt the football, and instead. I think they get a field goal out of it. The defense play well enough to get the field goal out of it after the first down, I believe, to make it 20-13. Same way with the targeting They don't call it the targeting, but it's a it's a blatant face mask before that happens with the targeting, and that gets no call."
Did the CU defensive front do anything different to confuse the OL?
"No, I thought, I thought they had some movement, but I really think that we got our butts kicked up front tonight. I mean, that'd be the first thing, you know, I just got through talking to Clay (McGuire) and the first thing he says, 'Coach, I lost this game.' They won up front. That's where you win games, and it, that's what was really frustrating, because we felt like we had boxes to run in. There was times that they would play four down, one linebacker in the box, and we don't get it IDed right and don't get any yards. I don't know what Tahj had in the first half, but I don't think it was a lot."
Seems like it's a strong start, and then a lull in the 2nd & 3rd. What's happening offensively there?
"I think last week in the second quarter and this week in the second quarter, we could not on the football, you know, and and that was a big part. And then in the second quarter, they took advantage of some screen games. They outnumbered us on the screen. It was two, I think, two huge screen gains for them. One of them, I think, was a touchdown and but going back, I mean, I think in both instances, us not being able to run the football effectively is really slowing this offense down."
A big part was trying to get pressure on Shedeur, how frustrating was it to not be able to finish and bring him down?
"He converted some big first downs with his feet. That was the frustrating part, you know, like, I think there were a couple of times to where we've got pressure but we don't have good pocket integrity, from the standpoint of, there's an escape that's straight ahead. I think there was multiple times that he converted first downs with his feet, those are the things that are really frustrating. He wants to stand back there and throw the ball and whenever he's doing that, man, it's just free yardage that we gave up. Once we watch film, but a lot of it was just rush lane integrity."
Near the half, with the run, would you like to see more aggressive playcalling?
"Whenever that happens, like anytime that we're running the ball, whatever you're talking about the clock running down, it's what they're playing. From the standpoint they're giving us. You saw late in the game, they're running like a Tampa two, or they'd be a two man. So that's a really good box to run in. So we had big chunk plays. We did have big chunk plays on that one. So we're expecting, whenever you hand that ball off, you're expecting 10 to 15 yards and having a good drive starter. And, you know, we didn't."
Can you speak on Tahj and what he's meant to your program?'
"I'm so proud of him, you know. And, man, I hate it for him and everybody else. I hate it for him that he broke it and didn't get to celebrate a win, you know, he breaks the record, and there wasn't a whole lot of celebrating in the locker room. And I would tell you, Tosh tonight, really doesn't care a whole lot about a record, he'll appreciate it. I can't thank him enough, he's been such an incredible person for us and this program. He's going to push that record ahead. But I am proud of him, you know, and happy for him and his family and and, you know, happy that he did what he came back to do. I'm proud to be a part of his life."

Wanted to give y’all some updated thoughts as I am through the first half of the offensive film, and honestly it feels like all I need to watch. I’ll finish it eventually but I’m getting frustrated and want to express some of that before I sit here and stew on it.
-Tech’s OL was atrocious in the run game. Gave you no chance. It was a litany of errors that just killed anything that Tech was trying to do.
-Tech’s offense was getting out-schemed at times. Tech had plenty of man answers to this point in the film, but lacked when CU went to a zone. Happened vice-versa as well, Tech had zone beaters on and caught man, which stalled a drive. Frustrating, but have to be better operationally.
On the offensive drives that stalled in the first quarter, it largely came down to a lack of execution from Morton and a questionable thought process from the coordinator.
The first one that stalled near the 40 and you took a FG, you get a man-to-man beater that is a winner on 1st down, but Morton is pressured, is hit as he throws and it’s incomplete. My bigger issue is the plays that follow. Tech goes inside zone and then ISO, both of which are blown up by light boxes. Issues upfront and CU’s LBs playing great. That was the theme of the entirety of the night, just nowhere near good enough to win with at this level on the OL. It was a disaster for every member in the run game.
The second one is the one that makes me concerned, and it’s been a larger scale issue for Behren all season. I’m sure that playing behind this line is not helping in this regard, however, Morton’s pocket awareness, and frankly his willingness to throw the ball down the field is inhibiting the offense.
1st down from the plus-15. ISO where the LB makes a great play to bring down Tahj, fine. 2nd & 8 is a wheel with dual ins attached, I don’t think that this is a great answer, but Morton turns down a throw to an open Kelly that probably doesn’t score but would be better than bailing and giving yourself a coverage sack.

The 3rd & 16 play is the one that made me want to stop. Tech has a perfect call for whatever this is supposed to be defensively. I’m either calling it match quarters or cover-3 and Shilo Sanders is adlibbing. Either way, in a clean pocket, Morton turns down a throw to the post to Kelly, the #2 to the field, rolls and throws a contested scramble drill. It’s a tough throw, yes, one that would’ve taken some balls to get in there, but it’s year three in the system for Morton, it has to be thrown.

I’ll have some more thoughts when I’m done, and will add the charting at some point, but I think I’m going to get some sun and run errands before I finish this.
