An opinion?

Dakich just said on his show that he "had a nice talk with billy Donovan" but that "nobody needs to know what that was about"

Dakich had a contest about who knew Urban Meyer more that Donovan didn't give two craps about.

Man this thread is catching up to the college basketball thread.  If he stays maybe we should hire part time psychologists.

You guys realize that in conference play, we have 186 assists and 227 turnovers?!?

That's a B1G assist to turnovers ratio of 81%.

Wow.

 

If only we had OG in conference play!! His 10 assists to 14 turnover, in conference play, pace would have helped so much.

We're a bad, dumb team. I would hate to see our stats if we didn't consume those 8 cupcakes in the noncon.

Coaches who have had success do move within the P5. You have to be willing to pay though

I guess for me, it's not so much about Championships as their coaching philosophy and their view of IU as a destination job. My personal opinion is that Hoiberg doesn't emphasize defense as much as I'd like to see. While I think he is a better coach than Crean, I'm not convinced he's a lot better.

I really think IU fans want a coach who stresses fundamentals and defense, and really just team basketball. Personally, I would be pretty happy with Archie.

Crean is 36-33 in the big ten since zeller left. Top ten salary baby.

Not sure why I even turned on Dakich today. He is the epitome of a guy who controls the conversation and pushes it in convenient directions for his incoherent arguments. He doesn't make any connection between the team's inability to do what Crean wants them to do, and Crean's coaching abilities. That's just stupid. He keeps saying things that any logical person would see in total opposition to his argument. The more I listen to him, the more I understand why he likes Crean. Their logic is on the same level.

You'd think it would be better sine he won an outright regular season B1G tittle and is such a great recruiter and all.

Just enough games to get that an even .500

[HoosierTrav 7,619]

The assembly call guys are done with crean as well. First time I've seen jerrod Morris arguing with a national guy about keeping/not keeping crean.

Morris had very good points to not keep crean but the national guy pretty much blamed the season on the o g injury, which is garbage.

I had to jump in on that one too. Sam V is a clown.

That would be funny if it weren't so true!

Assembly Hall will be very interesting Saturday. I, for one, hope there's crickets instead of Crean getting the Gottfried treatment.

This season doesn't have the same feel as 2 years ago. I don't think folks care enough to show up and boo at this point.

Dakich is smarter and more business savvy than most give him credit. He's good at breaking down basketball and saying random things to stir stuff up. That gets him listeners which in turn gives him leverage when negotiating his contract.

He had a conversation with Billy D but nobody needs to know about it. Because they talked about basketball and a few other random things before Dakich tried to slide a question about IU. Billy D wouldn't talk about it. Does it sound better if he doesn't talk about it and gets hundreds of people asking him about it on twitter or if he simply stated Billy D wouldn't talk about it?

The OG thing is a convenient excuse for anyone not paying attention. Crean used it himself numerous times, always followed by, "But we're not making excuses."

What a douchebag

I can't describe with words how much I actually hate DD. He is an embarrassment. When people say "he tells it like it is" I want to drive my car into a frozen lake. The guy is completely self absorbed, thinks he knows EVERYTHING, and contradicts nearly everything he says. I wish he would disappear.

He is one of the most arrogant people I have ever heard in my life. Plus he is just flat out rude.

I don't know....  I really have a soft spot for Dakich.  I guess it's because I used to play a lot of softball against him "back in the day" (as he would say) when he was a graduate assistant at IU.  The funny thing is that's he was pretty much the same on the softball field as he is on the air.  Dude loved to talk to anybody and everybody.  It would have been a bit annoying if it were just some random guy, but it was pretty cool since he was an IU player from my childhood.

This is why I can't stand Dakich. I 100% believe he had no conversation of the sort. Gotta get those ratings

He's just looking for ratings.  Why even mention it if anything more than Hi Billy, how ya doin' was the gist of the entire "conversation".
