    Wish CTC could coach better in game... He wouldn't need 5 star McDonald All Americans to make up for it then.

    Ol' BC reacted to IU Hoosier41 in OT: NCAA @ it's FINEST!   
    [quote name="Rayl" post="53418" timestamp="1395773891"]I don't see this as a big deal. The AD gets a bonus for "exceptional athletic achievements." It's just incentive for him to create the foundation for programs to have success. Not really different than a business manager having contractual bonuses for his department achieving specific benchmarks.

    I think Huggins' 25K bonus for beating Kansas much funnier.[/quote]

    This is COMPLETELY different. The AD has ZERO control on that wrestler's success. A business manager has control over his employees (who get PAID). The fact this athlete won a NCAA title, and someone is going to get a $20k bonus because of it doesn't seem wrong to you?

    I'm against paying athletes, but AD's shouldn't be getting bonuses when Individual athletes achieve success. If a team wins, I'm fine with it. It's just wrong for individual achievements.

    As many of you know this is my first season really following Indiana Basketball as I am a transfer student to the University. Being a lifelong Duke fan I have always been aware of IU basketball and the proud tradition of the program. I finally got to go deep inside the program with some of it's biggest fans and discuss things such as the team, recruiting, traditions, and many other things that have to do with IU. Even though the season did not go as expected I still had an awesome first IU basketball season with you guys and i look forward to the coming years in discussing the program at such a wonderful place. Thank you all for accepting me even though I am a Dukie. You guys have all been great. Hopefully we get back on track next season and the seasons moving forward. Proud to be a Hoosier.

    Ol' BC got a reaction from southsidehoosier in Who would you hire to replace CTC?   
    I prefer to wait until Brad Stevens is tired of the NBA and is ready to come home.   Right now, I'd probably opt for Chris Collins.  Pearl is a show cause hire.  We had Kelvin Sanctions. Didn't work out so well. Probably wouldn't want to go there.

    Lots to whine about after a loss like this.  But the lack of fundamentals has been consistent since Coach Crean came to I.U.  This team is leading the B1G in turnovers.  Indiana's bigs continue to play small and the bad passes are too numerous to count.  Coach Crean's teams play hard but that doesn't make up for the number of unforced errors.  You play like you practice.  What do all those coaches do all week?
