So THAT'S where Josh Newkirk learned to shoot! (shame on me) Shoulders hunched forward and a claw-like release is no way to go through life, son.

Preferred Penn State winning shot expression:

I'd rather have Archie than Sean.

In my opinion, that is WAY too harsh. However, we do want to overachieve, and Butler is a prime, and nearby example of a program that routinely does so.

Wow; thought I'd get way more pushback with "The Nored Theory." BGleas, Pap, and OldFriend...what say you?

He's currently successfully coaching 20-somethings. I'm pretty sure his current NBA D-League point guard is a big fan of his coach. What's that kid's name again?

You can't say "****" in a post! Oops

Oooh, oooh! I think I see him on the bottom right in the red plaid jammies next to the washing machine!

Agreed! All kidding aside, my post that started this thread also begged for some info as to Tim Priller's status with IUBB.

Depends who the guys is who is delivering the message. There are only so many truly special, savant-quality leaders and communicators in the game. Once they are proven, they reach the pinnacle of the profession and find their place to cement their legacy. I think that Stevens is doing that in Boston like Popovich has, and you see guys like Roy, Few, Self, and K having done that in the college game. I want one of those guys at IU, and I have an inkling of a guy who will get to that level with whatever program someday satisfies him as an ultimate destination.

I'll fire up the discussion and throw a name out that would be a fantastic hire someday for IU; one that could stay for 30 years. He's got Indy ties with bball and family, he's a pure defense-oriented guy, he's got assistant experience in the NBA, D-league, and in college, he's currently a D-League head coach, and he is one of the smartest, best squared away basketball individuals and human beings there is...period. I'm sure this name will get slayed by y'all, because he is currently 26 years old, but as far as I'm concerned, to get a diamond you might have to be open to a guy that's a bit outside the "mid-major stalwart" box. I frequently don't know the answer, but this time I know... that this guy will be a major, MAJOR success as a coach. Ronald Nored

As the newly created "Secretary of The Unimaginably Awesome yet Un-recruited"?

No, really! For the past few road games Tim Priller, aka Middle School Bob, aka "More Interesting than the Most Interesting Man on Earth", aka Big Man on Campus, aka, G_d's gift to everyone and everything HAS BEEN MISSING from the IU game bench! Where might he be? Combating ISIS Mentoring LeBron (again) Hospitalized due to uncontrollable dapping Filming an autobiographical super-hero movie Spreading the Incarnate Word Or...maybe one of you actually knows what has happened to the beloved IU virtual mega-star. Thoughts?

GREAT post.

It's a foot sprain.

I don't think many read your snarky posts and have "lots of laughs."

Geez; give it a rest. I'm all for sarcasm now and then, but this unrelenting passive aggressive stuff is rough.

Our next coach: BTW - Looks a little like Pat Chambers

Like a non-violent Grayson Allen! Lol

Wrong. Not for long. Wrong. Wrong, And maybe.

I don't have the slightest idea why anyone thinks that a coach who wants to remain in the college game would ever leave Kansas voluntarily.

True; I have a distant memory of Doyle taking unwarranted shots at Joani Crean...not okay. On the other hand, much like Dakich, Doyle is now a proponent of the theory that Crean has evolved and is good at his job.

Great post...should probably be moved to The Fire Crean thread for its highest relevancy.

I choose Freddie McSwain for that role [emoji57]
