This is a topic worthy of a thread of it's own. First a couple quotes from the game thread:

Before seeing p'ville's quote I read the paper this morning and was truly amazed at the stupidity that I saw in the game article. It was an obvious bit of stupidity that was worthy of a thread. Before doing that I decided to check the pulse in the game thread and the above quotes stuck out big time.

Holy crap! If that is what this man is teaching his team he is truly a HORRIBLE COACH. Of course, many already knew that. But anyone who was on the fence before should have broken an ankle falling off after seeing that. DON'T SHOOT WITH 15 SECONDS OR MORE ON THE CLOCK? IS THIS GUY FLIPPING SERIOUS? Go back to what Okieland said:
This fool of a coach actually thinks it's wise to just BLOW 20 seconds off the clock ASSUMING that a shot in the LAST 15 seconds is better than ANY shot in the first 20! Wisconsin is very deliberate on offense. But they will take a good shot no matter what the shot clock says. Watch Northwestern. The run the princeton offense...another that is not known for racking up 100 point nights but they will also take the good shot whenever it presents itself. That goofy-arse weave doesn't ALLOW for a good shot to present itself because you are NOT LOOKING for a shot while you're doing it.
This is a bad team coached by a WORSE coach. Doc Sadler has got to go.
The announcers called a great game tonight. They were spot on with their analysis. I think they are the first announcers I have heard question the weave offense that Doc likes to run. Why run it there? They were right.
Now I am going to say it. I have said as much before. I . . . HHHHHAAATTTTTEEEE . . . that stupid weave offense. It is the biggest waste of time and energy that serves absolutely no purpose.
The thing I hate about the weave offense, is although it gives the offense the illusion of movement, in reality it is easy to defend and takes offensive players out of the offense. All of the movement is side to side, 30 feet away from the basket.
Good offensive players like to be able to square up to the bucket. Side to side movement takes offensive players away from the flow of good offense. It also takes away from the inside-outside offense that most good half court offense is based on. It's bush league. It's a stall tactic when you have a lead.
In the past, we always lacked something offensively. Size, quickness, outside shooting . . . always something. Now it seems, what we really lack is a consistent offensive approach. Granted, Wisconsin is a good defensive team and we were short-handed, but we were lucky to get 40 tonight. Really lucky.
Our offensive gameplan (or lack thereof) really never gave us a chance. No wonder our players are so eager to throw up quick treys. Why not? A quick open trey is probably a higher percentage then a forced prayer with the shot clock running out. We had many, many of both tonight.

Doc is clueless. He thinks the only way to win in the Big 10 is to take the shot clock under 10 seconds and take a shot. Read his post game quotes and see if anyone believes him and thinks he should stay on as a coach right now?

adler waffled when asked if that was as well as any team had guarded Nebraska in his six years.
“Maybe,†he said. “But I think we had a lot to do with it. Our offensive efficiency, when we got it from side to side, we got some good looks.
“But as I told the team, the number of shots we took with 15 or more seconds on the shot clock ... if we’re going to continue to do that, we’re going to continue to get our brains beat out.â€
