To be fair I would love to have him come but if he is really open to Houston, and Kansas the fact that those programs have been consistently a top 10 ish the last few years would be pretty attractive. I would really want to attract kids that want to be a part of a winning program vs just coming here to get minutes and individual production. We really need to get to that next tier of success and DQ may be able to help us get there but not being at that level also may be why we cannot land more guys like him.

It still amazes me that we have not been bringing in recruits from the state. If we have more seasons like this, or better, it does not matter where they come from. Coach does not have a good reputation amongst the local players but I think he could turn that around.

Interesting to see Jerry Kill has been back coaching. Not considering him really but was glad and surprised to see him back

Xavier has started slow every year he has been here. Had hoped for a quick start but as long as he finishes strong I guess I am ok with that

Could that $7-$9 million be for the entire staff? Or could it be the level if we get the top couple candidates but will be lower if not?

If the basketball rumors were true and he had Brad as his #1 certainly interested and when that did not happen he was able to get a strong #2. The #2 then was allowed to build a staff a developmental group and other core staff members. I am hopeful he takes the same approach with football and goes hard after his top candidates, has a backup plan and can also build a strong overall program/staff.

Yeah but that is situationally based and I would agree. I may have misunderstood TTTs idea and thought that meant a move from the perimeter to the interior more regularly. If she could develop that threat inside and outside that would be awesome.

Does Yarden want to be an inside player?

What about Leal makes you think he could be productive if given more time?

Hoping we can get old Gallo back.

Been terrible out of timeouts today. Terrible

I agree unless he wants to see what Woodson's offense would look like now that TJD is gone. Woody has said having TJD was great but created a need to run a different offense than he preferred. So that begs the question, what will his offense really look like. It could also be that DQ just has trouble making a decision. He will have options and can basically go anywhere so waiting does not hurt him much but would be tough to continue to invest in him exclusively as your #1 big.

I worked for the HT for several years and occasionally would get to hear some of these stories from Bob Hammell. Usually those were much shorter versions and certainly not as many stories as this collection is providing. I am going to be driving back to Indy for Thanksgiving and wondering if I can wait till then to listen. Will only have the dog and I for 10 hours of that trip so this would be great to listen to but I may not be able to wait that long.

It is so good. Honest and heartfelt. Glad to hear there is more.

Wondering if he is wanting to watch us play a little more now that TJD is gone. Woody has said he preferred a different style so I could see him waiting to see what that looks like.

About the only thing i could take away was that the colts made the right decision in moving on from Frank. Carolina was 7-10 last year and they got to choose first in the QB derby and yet they sit at 1-7 this year.

Is the game available later tonight if she watches now and I watch later

Anyone know if I can watch the IU game on BT+ while my daughter also watches using my login in another location

A friends wife posted this and I thought I would share. Most people have their favorite game or moment of Coach Knight. Some people disliked him, and some people loved him. I personally have fond memories of the man. I grew up around IU Basketball and the Knights because my dad was the IU Golf Coach, and they were best friends. Personally, one of my favorite memories was when Coach was having dinner with us. I saw my upcoming date driving up the driveway, and coach said “where are you going Kelly?” I told him I had a date, and to my horror, he made me go to my room and wait. He proceeded to go downstairs and meet that teenage boy at the door to completely intimidate him before letting me leave my house. Needless to say, that boy was in shock! Coach was amazing… I loved him and his family. I’m sorry for my dad who lost his best friend today. Sending my love and hugs to his son Patrick and his wife Karen. Here are some outtakes from Golf Your Way, a golf show he did with my dad. It is hysterical! Of course, the outtakes come with a language warning! I also recommend finding and watching the Feherty interview with Coach Knight! https://youtu.be/Av6Mu8aLkio?si=wu99-Dp-RKmO_jLN https://youtu.be/_mC_sdTC4ww?si=4pmZn_9ZAw5twTJs

My cousin's Grandmother had given him her season tickets and he was as big an IU fan as there is. The university once stepped in and tried to keep him from renewing the tickets and based on his teacher salary he would not have been able to see many games if he had to buy individual tickets. Coach stepped in and made sure he did not lose these tickets.

My Dad used to put together these scrapbooks for his co-workers when they retired and would get pictures and contact coaches from their favorite college to see if they could add a quick note. He did this for years but unfortunately, after 35 years with his company, his entire group was let go and he never had an opportunity for someone to make a scrapbook for him. So I thought, what the heck, and sent a letter to Coach to see if he would be willing to send my Dad a short note. This was shortly after Coach had started to work at Texas Tech (interestingly the address for him at TT was on Indiana Avenue). I knew sending this request was a long shot but I thought it was worth the effort. I mailed the letter on a Monday and a return letter from coach arrived within the week. Now I know a staffer may have done most of the work but there were some comments in the letter that made you realize Coach had some input. One of the comments my Dad liked was how Coach compared their dismissals and recommended my Dad look out the front window and not the rearview mirror. I remember looking at the dates and thinking that the return letter probably went out the same day they got the letter from me and for some reason that was something that really stood out to me. Coach also sent me a short letter letting me know he had sent a letter. I did not do a full scrapbook for my Dad since the letter when directly to him but my Dad hung that letter on the wall for years and he often wondered how Coach thought to write to him.

Just saw where coach passed away today. https://www.bobknight.com/bob-knight-legendary-coach-dies-at-83

At Montverde are they roommates, do they have dorms?

I mean isn’t that normal for us?
