Actually agreeing with you on this point but to further expand on this point: The NBA has the D-League What needs to happen but won't, is something like this: General Rules regarding D League formation. Give a D League Team to each NBA Team Rosters NBA team is allowed 15 spots, 12 or 13 active (whatever current rule is) NBADL team is allowed 15 spots, 15 active for games NBADL cannot exceed 5 NBA contract players (unless due to injury) Organization is allowed 3 injury designations that does not factor in to the 30 organization spots available. Put each of these teams in a thriving market with no NBA team and relatively close geographically. 62 Game Schedule (Play every team outside division 2 times and teams in division 3 times) Take the revenue from the NBADL team and supplement the team with the NBA revenue from the players side of profit since this is primarily for player development and players. Standard NBADL contract salary is $250,000 (excluding rookie contracts) General Draft Rule Changes: Add 3rd round to NBA Draft (Logistically, may need a 4th round as well?) Get rid of the stashing draft rights to overseas players. They either come and play that season, or go back into draft pool for following year and cannot sign with a team without being drafted or failing to be drafted after two drafts. 1st Round Gauranteed NBA Rookie Contract NBADL Rookie Contracts and Player Eligibility (All rookie contracts end with Restricted Free Agent status) Out of High School with High School Diploma Enter Draft If selected in 1st round, NBA teams must sign them to NBA Contract. If selected in 2nd round, may be signed to NBA or NBADL contract. If selected in 3rd round, must sign NBADL contract. (This becomes 4th round if 4th round is neccesary) NBA Contract Normal NBA Rookie Player Rules TNBADL Contract $50,000/yr 3 year deal with team option after each year 1 year mandatory NBADL period before being able to be called up to the NBA roster.

Contracts; NBA/NBADL Rookie Contract - Contract does not change unless waived or not resigned. NBADL Regular Contract - Contract does not change unless signed to NBA Contract, waived or not resigned. NBA Regular Contract Player may remain on NBA contract if sent down under any of these conditions: If due to injury/rehab assignment. Cannot exceed 5 games or 14 days. Player must miss 5 consecutive games to be eligible for rehab assignment If max NBA contracts is not exceeded.

Sorry so long but it just all started spewing out after starting to type. Thanks for anyone who actually read through it all.

I agree with you but that is more of a reason OG should go, his draft stock is more likely to be hurt by him returning. It could improve, but the percentage of chance says he has a better shot at losing draft spots by returning if what this is true about OG Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Based on your last few posts in this thread it sure as hell doesn't seem like it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It shouldn't crack you up. All four have the talent to possibly make the NBA one day so why not get feedback. It just goes to show how poorly coached these guys were. Honestly I'm shocked that Morgan didn't declare without an agent too just to get the feedback. There is no harm in declaring without an agent to get feedback. You can't get it or workout for teams unless you declare. It's kind of like a practice interview. Anyone would be silly not to do it even if they don't have much of a shot. I hate using Calapari as an example (just threw up in my mouth a bit) but he stated he that he encourages everyone of his kids to declare without an agent to get feedback.

I'm just glad that it sounds like this will be the only year we have to worry about the roster "working itself out". Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

If Blackmon comes back, I think everyone who feels this way is going to be shocked that they even thought this before the season began, at the end of the year, or Blackmon won't play very much. I could be wrong but I highly doubt it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

But we don't have to worry about it taking up a scholarship which is the point of this or at least that's how I took it. Otherwise, I would agree with you because I'd have him above Priller and McSwain. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I think we are talking about scholarship players. McRoberts is a walk on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Blackmon OG Rojo Davis Morgan Green Bryant Cujo Hartman Newkirk Gelon Smith Moore Durham Priller McSwain If separating the recruits: Smith Moore Durham

I could be wrong, but I would think headbands would be more of the norm in women's basketball due to the longer hair and women wearing headbands in normal everyday routine. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I would like to see this and I'd like to see NCAA not count red shirts against the scholarship # even if you have to limit it to 2 per year or something like that. But in this scenario other than balancing classes it won't help our scholly situation this coming year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You all are crazy, it's still awesome! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

RE: McCracken and Knight- That's what the "museum" entering cook hall is for. IU is a tradition, no need to change anything other than the coach and we did that already. Leave everything else as is. I do like special occasion jerseys like the Kansas game this past year and our B1G tourney jerseys but not in B1G play. B1G or Non Conference Tourney, ok but not regular conference season or NCAA tourney. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

If so, then my bad. When I hear decommit, I assume it's for this coming year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

We don't have enough spots for our current roster, let alone anyone else. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Really? Who has a problem with this video (minus the Tom Crean mention of course). This video was awesome. I wish they would remake it to a correct version ASAP! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don't know, I prefer Avers over both of those (even though both are pretty good) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I have thought this forever when they use the outline it always makes me think Tyson Kidd. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Blackmon wasn't forced by the coach to play defense. I don't think that will be the same this season. Miller will make him play defense or he won't play. It's that simple. Miller doesn't owe him PT like Crean did. I think that is what some are trying to say and if he buys in to playing defense, has a great offensive year and IU does well, he will absolutely have a shot at getting drafted in first round. Probably late first round boarderline 2nd round but he will absolutely have a shot. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I'd give it a solid B+ Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I am excited for tonight. However, I feel like the buildup this year has been very lackluster. Probably just me though. A lot of good matches on paper but don't feel that it's going to be that great of a Mania. Hope I'm wrong and it's amazing though. Just hope it's not predictable but again I have a feeling it is going to be.

Not showing up in the app even though I posted it in the app? Anyone go to the Knight and Keady thing in Carmel tonight? Or is it tomorrow night?
