Was curious to see what DD had to say today since he was clearly on a JBJ head hunt last night, had to shut it off. One minute its all on the players, next its coach's, and all of us fans are idiots. I thought I knew better to listen to him. I'm just here to tell the truth!!

I love your sense of optimism here! Yes, we are happy he lead the team from the darkness to at least back to the national spotlight, but yes go....go yesterday.... I promise there are greener pastures..... there will be another program to welcome you into their arms.... but don't let the door hit you were the good Lord split ya!!!!!! All the debating and arguing on who will replace him, at this point if the potential replacement can teach fundamental 6th grade BBall, understands in-game decisions, plays the best players without subbing for erroneous reasons, understands X's and O's are not just letters in the alphabet, understands that there are true grit, blue-blood ballers right here in this state, and understands where blame falls for failures, I'M IN!!!!!

Seriously the stats from this season are horrendous! Season.pdf

Man, am I glad that I went to bed at half-time. I could see the writing on the wall that this game was not going to end well! Same mistakes, same coaching decisions, same crap game in and game out for the last 9 years! If he is not gone this year, the admin should fine coach $1,000 for every turnover, $10,000 for every drawn up out of bounds play that ends up in the other teams hands, and $25,000 for every post game excuse that passes blame to the players; maybe that would change how the games go! Plus I think he would return every dime of his contract salary from the year to fund the incoming replacements salary, lol! Just looking at the stats up to last night, there are 430 turnovers so far, that's a lot of cash.

That's what small town Bball is all about! Insane that 2 schools that are 20 mins apart are in the state finals! I hope this is NH's year as well as Eastern's too. I still remember playing Eastern when I was at NH many moons ago.

Well going to bed! Sad it's not worth it to stay up late for games anymore, usually better to just check scores in the morning Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm watching the end of the game now since I went to bed about 3 min into the second half. If no one on the IU staff doesn't realize how much better the team plays with DG and DD on the floor then everyone should be fired! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
