Oh I agree, and the said part is that she is older than me and an alumni from probably the end of the Knight era! But she's just a fan, never played any sports and it is extremely hard to argue with her about basketball. Uses the injury excuse every time and responds like well did you ever play basketball? Uh yes, in fact I did and my dads best friend was the HC of my high school that had a Knight style strategy and mind set, so yes I played, was around basketball my whole life and understand the game leaps and bounds more than you! That response really pi**ed her off, LOL!

Just watched the player interviews after the game with JN and MSB. Reporters had several baited questions for JN, but boy JN looked like someone just killed his new puppy, like John Wick style. I really feel bad for these guys, if they practice as hard as everyone says and want to win. But the questions to JN about turnovers and his response tells me that there really isn't much going on in the world of making the players more aware of how to protect the basketball. JN's response was we just have to get more fundamentally sound! Not the type of response that would indicate that practice is helping or that help is even being provided in that area or maybe they have just checked out like everyone is saying! Not sure, but one thing is for certain, I don't see a chance for improvement until a change is made!

Geez, I thought everyone was at least halfway on the train by now! Just had a convo with another employee, who has checked out for the season already, but when I mentioned creaning Crean her response was comical. Yeah but who are they going to replace him with? me: there is said to be some serious talk with BD, her: oh yeah right, IU can't afford BD get real, why would we want him anyway, Crean's not going anywhere!

We got creaned 9 consecutive years, that's what! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Priller has now tripled the teams screen stats for the season Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just glanced at 247 and 0708 posted a couple new items after "speaking" with sources. "Yes still saying the same. Donovan is willing to listen. Also Marshal not on the short list." and his short list of potential coaches "Stevens, Donovan, Sean Miller, Archie Miller, and Dane Fife."

I literally got my Agriculture Degree from Oregon State, because I really can not stand Purdouche that much that I went ALL the way across the country to get away from their influence! Go Hoosiers! and Beavers (also struggling this year, I don't even know what to do or who to cheer for, LOL)

As bad as I always want IU to win, I would really hate for a bad loss at IU to spoil NWs chance at their first ticket to the big dance! Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

MSB has set more screens in 1 play than the whole team all year! Take note Hoosiers that's what your supposed to do! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Everyone has bad shooting nights! Wrong game to have one of course! The team is really young the core of the team has 1-3 years left in high school. Congrats brandct and to Pekin eastern! Only about a 20 min drive to Pekin so at least 1 championship comes to the area. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The solution is pretty simple. Offer the $6.whatever to Donovan, put more focus on recruiting back to the state and surround area, and use the money saved in the recruiting budget to pay the coach!

Sweet Baby Jesus, please let this all be true! I feel like the fat kid staring at his birthday cake waiting in anticipation!!!

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
