Letting players profit off their likeness is a good solution, in my opinion. Players like Andrew Dakich aren't bringing in the millions of dollars to the program. Let the free market dictate the individual worth of the player. Continue providing the free schooling and housing and food, and call it a day. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That's... surprising. Considering nothing really changed from last year personnel wise. A lot still riding on Newkirk, RoJo, or Green stepping up into a confident PG role. I'm optimistic again this year about Newkirk, especially with how he finished the season, but hesitant for sure. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Remember who said Billy was coming. Remember who said Archie is the greatest of all time. Remember who said everyone is coming back. JBJ is a first rounder. And on and on and on and on. Got it. Despite seemingly popular opinion on the board, the NBA does play defense, and JBJ would be a massive liability on the floor trying to guard the elite scorers of the NBA.

Three years of evidence says he can't. I think it's likely that his commitment to defense will improve with Archie, but I definitely won't be holding my breath.

How are you supporting this conclusion? I don't believe you can. Both JBJ and Hartman previously had knee injuries.

Shocking. A scumbag guy who thinks he's better than everyone around him came from Knight's coaching tree... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

As soon as there's something more interesting to talk about, people will move on quickly :)

For everyone still trying to bash Crean and say his kindness is an act to manipulate those around him... here's an interesting article from Doyel: http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2017/03/31/doyel-compassionate-tom-crean-not-cartoon-character-you-think-he/99863548/ Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is he bringing Billy Donovan with him? [emoji854] Based on various posters on this board stating that Langford wasn't a Crean fan, our odds obviously increased with the hiring of Archie. Let's see what happens in April. Excited to see who Archie prioritizes. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I like it. Sexton is gonna be fun to watch. Follow up... SEC is looking like it's going to be solid next year... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Feels like a step back while not working gives the impression you're waiting for the right job. Idk, I'd take the year and wait. You don't backtrack once you've made it to the top. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I believe Fran and Crean go back to the Michigan State days Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah just messing with you no worries. You actually enter risk of death at around .35 I believe. The more you know! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hot Take: Your take was much closer to reasonable logic than a hot take. As is this post. All told, zero hot takes have been given in this thread. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Why is everyone under the impression that a guy would want to go from head coach of team in a Power 5 conference to assistant? This logic makes no sense to me. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He didn't play too poorly against Purdue. I think you're writing off a senior who's worked hard and played his role for three years. Don't agree with it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If he blew a 1.0 he wouldn't be coaching here today. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

10 years ago? He was 28? Hoping we're not implying some Alford level dirt, but also that's still a pretty immature age... (I should know [emoji854]) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Nope. Check the Indiana University Student Athlete Bill of Rights. Guaranteed a four year scholarship regardless of performance, injury, etc. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Bet he's more excited about making millions working with the best trainers and coaches in the world. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Not gonna lie, if he's about to pick an accounting job over another year in college playing basketball at Indiana, I think we should've been less worried about his knee and more worried about whatever serious head injury he suffered. Got a whole life to work, kid... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I get why we do it, and I like the whole idea. But Indiana fans seem to think we do things a certain way because it is the only way. I think there are other things I'd want to examine changing before this. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
