Virtual Steak Fry With Coach Steele

[Muskie]

Because this year's Butler County Steak Fry has been cancelled due to the pandemic, Coach Steele has agreed to answer a curated list of questions from Xavierhoops.com. Many of us consider the Butler County Steak Fry as the unofficial start to the basketball season.

If you've never been to the Steak Fry (and why not?) here is a link to the one that happened in 2018, if you want to know what gets discussed by the staff.

So post your questions below, and we will get them over to him. Deadline is Tuesday, June 2.

This is a really cool opportunity! Thanks to all who made this happen. Also, continued thanks to those who put on this yearly event.

My question(s) for Coach Steele:

Does he see the PG position next year as a PG by committee approach or is he hoping one player really steps up and takes the reigns at PG and gets the bulk of the minutes there? Does he see Dwon Odom as a pure PG or more of a combo guard?


Thanks!

Any word on Xavier's MTE events beyond 2020? Also, does he see Xavier shifting more to 2 game MTEs as opposed to 3 game tournaments to provide more schedule flexibility now that we are at 20 conference games?

Despite 222,150 views, and 1,986 replies to the thread, no one has been able to answer this important question, but maybe Coach Steele can:

Sooooo, where's the warming?

[surfxu]

Bummed that it's been cancelled this year, but understandable I suppose. It is always a fantastic time.

[Muskie]

Keeo the questions coming.

[nuts4xu]

If the Xavier program was a tree, what kind of tree would it be...and why?

Does Coach Steele eat goetta? Does he prefer Eckerlin’s or Glier’s?

What does Coach Steele remember about the Snuggie game?

[STL_XUfan]

Give him the Tate Frazier special: Do you have a message for the haters?

[atljar]

A couple broad reaching layup questions that could have interesting answers.


Favorite and least favorite road locations to play for staff and players... why?

Hardest decision that you have had to make as head coach at XU?

Proudest moment so far as head coach at XU?

[XU 87]

Do you think you will run the offense differently next year, and if so, how?

[hydmuskie]

In hindsight - what was the biggest issue with Xavier's offense last year? Was it the scheme? The mismatch of scheme to players? Or the players? How does he plan on adjusting so we don't have such a miserable offense next season

[Muskie]

Also don't forget the questions for Coach Moore, over in the Women's forum.

[American X]

How does he like his virtual steak cooked?

[xeus]

Did those free throw drills I sent to you help?

[Xavgrad08]

How has cov19 affected the recruiting process? How has the staff adjusted? Is XU able to get tape on potential prospects if AAu season is cancelled, or limited? How much harder does that make evaluation?

[noteggs]

We’ve heard positives on the way you and your staff approaches recruiting, what other positive changes have you made to the program that we might not know about?

On the other hand, we all try to do creative and/or different things at our jobs to succeed, but just don’t work out. Any example that comes to mind?

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The only thing I care about, as to Coach Steele, is if he can make it RED HOT!

My Boy KP, was trying to work it out for later in August or early September, but Badin HS had too many uncertainties.
Luckily, he hadn't ordered the caps yet, or he would have had a garage full of them for a year.
Can't tell you how bummed he was to have to call it. Hopefully a never again miss.

What can you do to make sure no one does a "Koby McEwen" on your watch EVER AGAIN!

[slysyl]

How about we have a Butler County steak fry at the Cintas Center this fall or late summer.

How about we have a Butler County steak fry at the Cintas Center this fall or late summer.

We'd have to call it the Hamilton County steak fry then!

[Lamont Sanford]

I recall there was a Hamilton County steak fry held on-campus (outside Husman Hall?) a couple years ago when Miller was still here. Good times.

QQ for coach ... a fan sees you, maybe with your family, out in public. What would almost always be welcome, when does it get to be uncool?
