Also, look at the possible recruiting ramifications...Parents are considering sending their kids to IU...They are trusting Crean to take care of their kids.....and parent worth a crap would be taking another look at the program after something like this..

I know that some of the vitriol pointed at Dakich comes from the "win at all costs" fans who were more than irritated that he took a stand when he became interim coach and dumped some problem children and severely disciplined others....I mean, he had players that wanted to fight him because they were forced to run...pathetic...I say the win at all costs mentality has done nothing for IU since Knight left and the "loosey-goosey" discipline style is doing nothing for the program. Kids need to step up, coaches need to step up...or lets stop with the whole "ITS IU" "ITS DIFFERENT HERE" because its all bs

Plain and simple...these kids were given a chance to wear the candy stripes...to partake in one of the most storied programs in college basketball...as a freshman, don't drink before a performance...plain and simple....Dakich has the backing of probably 99% of former players...

DD "Fear of god...Consequences for the kids"...thats the fix...

Former players on Twitter and pm's to Dakich...

It would be nice if they could have a team living facility similar to the new one at Kentucky for team and managers...

Well, I will continue to believe a guy that has almost 3 decades with the program in one form or another over a guy who posts that his cousin says its all crap on a message board...call me crazy...

Dakich has some former players and managers applauding what he is saying on Twitter and also contacting him off-line...

If IU basketball really means something to the fans, then they should stop making excuses and stop accepting this crap.   DD " Games over, you can drink"..."Coach Knight rule. NO BARS"

Ripping someone that tweeted him that these incidents are "run of the mill college stuff"....Well, I think IU fans want players who are NOT run of the mill....

I agree with 90% of his rant.. Stripes should be earned, not just given...Obviously, they meant little to Holt....

more:   IU fans care so much about the program but the players are out until 3am not giving a crap and then IU fans are going to make excuses for them?   He does not care if fans like him or not...3rd longest tenured employee/player at IU   Loves IU to the core

Indiana is all promotions right now...no principles..   Players should be kicking the ass of other players that are drinking the day before a game/scrimmage.   Fans are settling for the new IU..   A kid like Holt should be coming to IU for basketball not partying the night before he is supposed to be introduced to the most loyal fanbase in the world.   5 players in trouble for drinking, fans giving excuses   He drank but it was one Saturday night after the game and no bars during the season per Coach Knight   LMAO Sophomore tweeted Dakich saying he was going to come down and boo in Dakich face and Dakich said come on and he will knock his little ass out...and then the kid can go home and tell his daddy   AD should be looking at Creans contract to see if these repeated violations are an issue   Fans celebrated Holt getting the candy stripes at Hoosier Hysteria and then the kid turns around and does this...The candy stripes don't mean crap to Holt and he proved it   No leaders on this team. Seniors or veterans would have hammered any player that would pull this crap while he was at IU as a player and a coach...

Loving what DD is throwin' down.....
