Edey is an animal.

Maybe it’s my FOMO here but this feels like a bad situation for IU. This will set off a chain reaction of coaching changes that will negatively impact the quality of coach we will be able to get, if we do indeed make a move after next season. Basically all candidates we would have had easier access to will have new jobs with much higher buyouts. Feels like college basketball is rapidly evolving into something that we will have no part in.

I’m not calling him stupid. I’m calling him neutered. I don’t believe for one second that he has any authorization to make changes. Also, according to some on here, he likely had a list of 3. One went to Michigan, the other wasn’t interested, and the one that was, we passed over, in favor of Mike Woodson. I doubt Dolson has a list at this moment.

I want to believe the guys who say Dolson has a list but I don’t. I have zero confidence in leadership to do anything that makes sense. Mainly bc they’ve made head scratching decisions, one after the other, for decades now. Dolson is a whipping boy.

Not I, sir. I’d take Cal in a heartbeat.

Why are they wasting time with him then?

THIS

I agree. If this were any other organization, sports or otherwise, it would be nuked then rebuilt with a stronger foundation. This will never happen though. The program is profitable and there is little to no incentive to change the power structure. It’s undeniable, at this point, that winning isn’t as high a priority as they’ve led us to believe. I have ZERO faith that this will ever get turned around in my lifetime…. I’m only 38. I’ll be interested to see what happens with Buckner as chair.

I hate our admin so much. They’re awful.

He does fit UConn …. As Stevens fits IU like a glove and Cal fits Kentucky. Fit matters. I’m not even convinced Hurley could win at IU like he does at UConn.

Conwell needs to show he can play the pg position more, to improve his nba prospects. Whatever it takes to get him, we need to do it.

At least he’s out recruiting himself. One of my biggest knocks was him being present and active. Not going to knock him here for being there.

Peak male activities.

Dwight Howard?

Who is the last player we’ve had that is this good of an isolation player?

Me either. I doubt anyone keeps it within 10 the rest of the way.

He got exponentially better towards the end of the season, on the defensive end.

UConn would be up 15, on either team, by now.

Please let this be the “Dalton Knecht game”

NGW’s coach is already on the sideline.

I feel the same. I hope they suck his entire time there. Nothing personal against him but I can’t stand Michigan.

Incinerated the program? Thats just not true. The administration incinerated the program. All self sanctions. Sampson made too many phone calls and texts. That’s what the ncaa was after him for. Once anyone points this out, then the goalposts start to shift to “thugs” or “drug dealers”, which have nothing to do with the ncaa violations. It’s fine to hold Sampson accountable for breaking some silly rules but he’s not responsible for nuking the program. That responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of the University.

Liam probably makes a more immediate impact in college but Tucker will be the better pro by a long shot.

You trying to make me c*m dude?

I’m convinced Moren is a top 3 coach in WCBB. Coaches her @$$ off.
