I got so tired of reading yesterday's breaking "reports", from so called insiders that I decided to do my own investigative research. I started with the premise that most of the insiders who claimed to know this person's mother, or that person's mistress, probably knew neither. It's conceivable they did, but not likely unless they were buying pleasure by the pound on a Friday night in Bloomington, but I digress. The point is, they probably knew no more or less than any of us. With that in mind, I decided to consult the highest authority in the land, and the most accurate prognosticator known to man, the Ouija board. I climbed up into my attic to retrieve the dusty old thing, along with several pieces musty old IU sports books and memorabilia. I found the ancient Ouija board hidden behind six boxes of never used Christmas lights, two bags of clothes I haven't worn in thirty years and Jimmy Hoffa's corpse. I came back down and placed it in the middle of my bedroom, surrounded by cream and crimson candles, their wicks flickering in anticipation. I began various incantations that called upon the dark lords of the underworld and powers of evil to bestow upon me the gift of foresight and divination. Slowly, almost imperceptively, the planchette began to move, my fingertips barely making contact. At first, it took me to the letter "Z", and my mind raced throughout its diminishing grey matter to identify a young coach whose surname might begin with such a letter, but I could remember nothing. Knowing that this board was ancient and most likely in need of calibration, I smacked the ever lovin' dogsh¡t out of it and started again. This time, there was no mistake, its' movements were much smoother, more deliberate and sure, and in no time, I was staring at the letter "B". To say I was exited would have been an understatement. Brad Stevens or Billy Donovan, we were going to win no matter what! Quickly, my hands were then taken to the other end of the alphabet, and hovered most assuredly over the letter "R"! "Holy hookers of the underworld; we're going to get Brad Stevens”!!!! From there, my hands raced feverishly across the board, stopping here for one letter, there for another and all in the space of perhaps ten seconds, (or the length of time it took this year's squad to turn the ball over). I sat there, my hands finally at rest, my heart heaving in my chest, sweat pouring from my brow and my brain a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.....and confusion. For there on the paper beside the Ouija board, was the name "Branch McCracken". Clearly, I need to get a new board. -

UVA is 95-6 under Bennett when scoring over 70. Not sure if that's something you were looking for, but it's amazing nonetheless. -

With all the talk about Bennett and his offensive inequities, I did a little statistical comparison of him, Archie, and BD. Here is how it turned out. -

I don't get it man. Brad Stevens teams were defensive juggernauts and had decent offenses. Bennett has had a top 5 offense and defense in the same season. He won the ACC 2 years in a row.....AT VIRGINIA!!! He's won an ACC tournament... he's made it past the sweet 16..... his teams are smart and consistently in position to make a run. Imagine him getting the kids in Indiana that we let get away (Guy, McIntosh, Neese, etc.). Now if he's able to sprinkle in the zeller, yogi, Wilkes-types, that WILL come around again, then we are a perennial contender. I prefer Donovan but I'd be overjoyed with Bennett. He checks all of my boxes. Edit: not saying he's Brad Stevens by any means but he has many of his qualities. -

I stopped reading pretty early on. But yes IU can outbid the thunder. UK is paying Cal more than the thunder will pay Donovan. -

I think because he realized after the IU opening and probably feedback is has gotten, he needs more Head Coach experience to realistically be considered for a Power 5 Conference Head Coach position anytime soon. That is my guess. -

My favorite part of Woj's tweet was he ended it "(IU isn't interested)". -

They aren't going silent over a gag order they're going silent over people catching on to their BS. They aren't connected anymore than you or I. -

He played for Jim Crews. Rumored he was dismissed from the team after hitting on Crews wife. So there's your IU connection. -
