That's a tough one. Just could not take control when we had the chance. LeBron tho.

Yep don't kick it. Go to the rack. That's where we are getting our points.

Pacers trying to claw their way back. Right on.

The best Vic posters are the ones where he is posterizing Lebron.

What a bunch of bumbling idiots. They pretty much just told the whole state they have no idea what normal people in Indiana care about. I would vote for the guy that shows up late to the debate with his fist in the air wearing an IU hat, nobody else.

Hey thanks for the details. Much appreciated. So, classic hostile work environment. Too bad. That is a no-no. I hope the coach gets paid for the troubles they caused him even tho money can't replace the glory year he earned that they took from him. Sad.

Thank you for sharing. I thought you might be connected and able to give a concise answer to the question. Much appreciated. Pretty sad the board forced him out when the team was on the cusp of greatness, and commendable the new coach was able to hold it all together in the turmoil of the transition and still make a run for the title even so. My interest is picqued and would like to hear more details about the board and admin trying to run the program, and making the job unbearable for the coach who built the program.

Haha. I have heard complaints here on this board. I have not actually even seen Damezi live. That is why I added the question mark. For some reason I am thinking johnsoniu may have expressed some concerns about Damezi's coaching, but then he or some other posters may have just posted something during a game that I may have taken to mean more than was implied. I honestly think more than one poster from the Michiana area made remarks about wishing Damezi had not been asked to do so much to get his team the many big wins he got for them this year. I think some guys said they thought Damezi might need a little extra coaching just to unlearn the me against the world approach to the game he was relied upon on that team in order to win. It could also be said that you can't really hold it against a coach who lets his guy go 1-on-5 a lot if the guy still gets you the wins that way. Idk. Hopefully some Michiana posters can and will join in and share what they know about Damezi and how he was coached in high school.

Damezi?

next to Martha Stewart!

yeah right

this board is nonstop laughs.

I think he already said he is not hiring an agent.

lol thx 4 the clickbait I almost died gotta put his name in and go through the process w/another oladipo-like jump in the offseason I could see him getting into the league next year

Ah ok. It has been talked about so much I almost thought TJD was actually in the process of scrambling to cram enough credits into summer school plans to graduate early.

Is the TJD possible reclass a real thing, or is that just something we made up on a sports message board that we talk about endlessly as if it actually is real?

I like what you say about Snow in comparison to Slater and Meyer, I just prefer to say he is more of the Evan Daniels yes-man tree. But just always goes out of his way to pick NOT IU. If he picks IU tho, because of that I am liking that pick even more than 007's IU pick. insert sheepish grin smiley.

Always the last to pick IU, and the first to pick NOT IU. NOT IU is his default.

Would it be ok to ask anybody else who wants a pm to pm those requests rather than posting them?

I almost clicked that link just for some dirty schadenfreuden lolz and to try to remember the names of those two patronizing blowhards who used to post on their boards back when Illinois had surprisingly strung a couple of decent seasons together in a row and all of Illinois fandom then crowned themselves King of the World. And they all used to think they were now perched high on a level looking way down on Indiana. Then I remembered their names. Terminator-something and NOVA. I am so glad I did not take the bait and click that link. But plz do share anything hilarious you might find there!

More speculation Crean could have sparked the FBI investigation by taking everything he knew about the shady recruiting dealings involving Adidas schools and just one Nike school after he got fired. I am not saying this is what happened, just throwing out the possibility in brainstorm/focus group fashion where there is no wrong answer. The only Nike school named in the investigation just so happens to be coached by the brother of the man who took Crean's job. More vindication. O this is 2 much fun!

Because Crean didn't have anything solid on any Nike guys! U know coz IU -Adidas If Adidas approached all those other schools however they did, front channels, back channels. Somebody musta approached somebody at IU.

You know that's funny you mention it, the thought crossed my mind more than once the possibility that maybe CTC took everything he knew to the FBI when he got fired. Speculation of course, but I could see that. And I would be cool with that too. A little vindication helps give the story a happier ending.

Some y'all be buyin n sellin Romeo like he bitcoin.

Right on. @ Jeff Smulyan's place. Jeff Smulyan = good guy.
