Glad to know he landed on his feet. Also glad to know he didn't just milk the buyout. Absolutely intend to follow his career ex post IU, and wish him a ton of success. Sincerely hope he can learn to teach his students how to play defense, and how to play offense in the half court, and how to beat a zone. Optimistically in the old dogs can learn new tricks camp. Thanks for the good times, and thanks for the memories! Nice to have a coach leave without trying to kick us all in the teeth every chance he gets now that the best times together are over. More of a man in many ways than the supposed greatest.

Just saw this on Twitter... LMAO

Jeff Goodman‏Verified account @GoodmanESPN Evansville guard Ryan Taylor told ESPN he will explore other options and possibility of transferring. Led the Missouri Valley in scoring this season at 21.2 PPG. Immediately eligible as a grad transfer." Shot 42% on both overall FG's and on his 3's; 86% FT's. He's 6'6". We could do a lot worse if we're looking for a grad transfer SG.

If he steals an Indiana mr basketball now this board will explode

Evansville paper reporting Indiana and UCLA have reached out to Taylor. Dude averaged over 20 points a game. We will take that in a heartbeat. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Note to rebelcc but there's others out there as well. I've noticed several unfamiliar names with posts in the last week or so and noted that several have been btb members for quite some time but just haven't posted very often. Really glad to see you people taking a more active role as posters and hope you continue. That's what makes this board so special and the best there is. Thank you.

Supposedly this is flying over UCLA.

I have the Purdue game streaming on my Apple TV in class. I told my kids we wouldn't have a reading log for the next 4 weeks if Purdue loses. It's exceptional to hear 29 11 year olds rooting against Purdue.

As bad as this sounds I am a little gun shy on Pitt players after Newkirk. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

While not nearly as long, I have a really soft spot for the Austin Boucher thread Sent from my LG-H872 using BtownBanners mobile app

The goal was eventually met, though. Maybe it will be with this thread too.

Just because you can see something doesn’t mean you know how how to adjust to it. - says the majority of IU fans Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Wish him well! Good coach, better person. I’m glad we had him and I’m glad he’s gone!

I hope some random guy named Al Ford doesn't take the fall for this.

The real reason Crean chose UGA over Pitt; so much closer to all those MEAC and SWAC cupcakes.

I hope he loses every game

Don't think we have to be overly concerned with him poaching Indiana's best high school talent.

Here ya go, boss.

Dont waste your time, I just checked one and they are ecstatic talking about his tenacious defense and his recruiting. (insert a million laughing emojis here)

That was the best thread in the history of threads. A lot more true talk in that thread than people cared to admit early on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

TC: “I don’t know...Pitt offered me unlimited mini waters and Diet Coke...” Georgia AD: “Tommy, did you know that Athens is sunny 380 days per year, and when it’s not, we have 13 tanning salons within walking distance? You can keep your red watch here.” TC: “Where do I sign?” Seriously though, I hope he does well. I’m so glad he’s not here anymore. He can beat UK every year, for all I care.

The only thing that would be better than Kentucky losing would be if Kentucky lost on a last second three-pointer by that little Rusty Reigell dude Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Good for Tom, wish him the best. Always said I didn't have a problem with Tom Crean, as long as he wasn't the HC at Indiana University

Any SEC teams run a 2-3 zone? I couldn't resist.

Marshall has more losses in the 2018 NCAA tourney than Archie. Boom.

Marshall(We Are!) 81 Marshall(Gregg) 75 If you're in San Diego, stay a good half mile away from the wife.

Maybe Sean Miller is smarter than I thought? You can't vacate tournament wins if you don't get any. [emoji57]

Super excited to see Oklahoma lose and the selection committee look like fools.

Hoosiers win 74-50! Career night for Penn. We play the winner of Milwaukee/Northern Iowa next. Milwaukee up 12 @ half. Penn - 25/6/3 Cahill - 14/9/3, 2 blks Buss - 14/3/3, 3 stls Royster - 10/2 Yeaney - 7/5/4, 1 blk, 1 stl Warthen - 2 Marchese - 3 rbs, 3 blks

Plenty of bigs that can contribute? Davis and Morgan. Morgan can't be the lone "big" on a tourney team. He was fantastic for a big portion of the conference season. However, he can't defend the best bigs nor can he sustain that level of play over the course of a season. The wear and tear is too much for an undersized 5.

Don't be that guy. Let them have their honeymoon.

I kept reading that, waiting for the punch line.

Seems like a perfect fit. After all, Atlanta is the world headquarters for Coca-Cola. He'll have diet coke and dasani anytime he wants it.

My sources are telling me Romeo is replacing IU with UGA his final 3, and we're actually a distant 5th behind UCLA.

We host Milwaukee on Sunday @ 2 pm ET.

Hoosiers on fire to start the 2nd half! 54-39

Really have to appreciate the fact she honored her commitment to IU after Curt Miller was let go.

And they breed!

LB was not a recruiting miss. He signed with IU. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

IU 41-36 @ half. Penn leads all scorers with 16 pts on 6-8 fg and 3-3 ft. Buss 8, Cahill and Royster 6 apiece.

Another record for Buss. @IndianaWBB: NOTE: With her six points in the first quarter, @tbuss3 has set a new single season record for points scored with 646 (and counting)

Do any of you guys peruse the Indiana Facebook fan pages? I ask only because the recent discussions here have centered around the “backlash” argument, which is taken as gospel on Facebook. The latest theory on this particular Facebook page says that the reason Langford has declined to commit, is not only fear of backlash but, that he would almost certainly not win the Indiana Mr. Basketball award, if he had committed elsewhere. This theory was not only well received, it was gaining ground! I normally would not be caught dead posting on this (Facebook) page as I find it to be the largest group of idiots ever assembled in one place. In this situation however, I could not help myself. I posted the information exactly as stated in the above post and found myself outnumbered by even dumber responses. I even went a step further in regard to Gary Harris, stating that he not only won the award after committing to MSU in November, but beat out Indiana commit, Yogi freakin Ferrell for the award. Admittedly, this stumped many. Fact is it was just me arguing against, well me and one other dude. The point I’m trying to get to here is that the theories on our sight may be tedious but, I assure you it can get Way, Way, Wayyyyyyyy worse. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
