Dave from Dayton

One reason that I left another site and came here was that there was a minimum of hate and personal attacks. Let's all take a break from personal attacks. To disagree with the post is cool.

I do not blame you for taking a break from this. I don't bother with commenting on other people's rumors and beliefs. It just seems to antagonize them. It takes two to fight. If it costs you your peace, then it is too expensive. Never take criticism from someone that you would not take advice from. Everyone knows about rumors. And some people just do not exhibit critical thinking. Good luck. Come back when the hurricane of rumors is passed.

This post by KS about an alleged comment by Coach Cignetti leaves me wondering to what it refers. Any insight would be appreciated? What does it mean? Is it about Goodman not knowing what is going on with Brad Stevens? Thanks.

OOoooooh, so close....

Blocked. /snark

Not to worry. The IU administration will have successfully trashed the IU basketball brand. We won't have to build one of those more modern 27,000 seat basketball arenas like OSU and UW have. We are a football school now. Only problem will be if we keep trying to dribble the football instead of passing. Some things may never change.

So will IU spot the next few opponents with 10 or 12 points to start each game? At the end of the games, will IU draw up a play with Miles Rice missing the last shot? Did we hang on to Coach Woody just about 4 years too long? Are we going to hang a banner in SSAH saying that about half of the games IU almost won and gave some effort? Will our assistant coach AH wake up before the end of the season? Will it make a difference? Nevermind.

Goody by Goode!

Yous guis... No way IU is gonna go down tonight. Put the big hammer on Cronin.

ugh

OK We got down by 12. Time to get going. Comon IU!

I like the lineup. Hope they do not get behind by 10 or more to start. Go IU! Do it for the ole Brad.

I have a different perspective on Archie Miller. He, in fact, did get the best from his players. They were a team. They did not have standouts. No prima donnas. That is the difference from a mid major and a top P 5 team. Archie was stuck with a bunch of me first players. Per Wiki: Miller became the head coach of the Dayton Flyers men's basketball team in 2011 and turned around a program that had back-to-back disappointing seasons.[4] His first season with Dayton saw Miller take the school to 20 wins. In his third year, 2014, he had the Flyers in the Elite Eight with 26 wins; to get there, Dayton upset three higher seeded teams. After the Elite Eight run in 2014, Miller faced replacing three starters and four seniors from that team. Despite having a depleted roster featuring just six players who were recruited to Dayton and no active player taller than 6-foot-6, Miller led his Flyers to a 27–9 overall record and to the third round of the 2015 NCAA tournament.[2] In the following three seasons, Miller averaged over 25 wins and each year coached the team made to the NCAA tournament. The latter two the Flyers also earned regular season Atlantic 10 champion titles.[6] The Flyers' 78 wins in from 2013–16 matched the best three-year period in school history.[2] Due to his coaching abilities, Miller was named a finalist for the 2015 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award.

Yeah, someone who is considering accepting an offer, is that a candidate? Or is it something else? What the heck is a candidate? Is he running for office? Goodman is such a disser of IU. Just wants clicks...and Dr. P loves it.

You say Granada I say Granaduh You say invada I say invadah Granada, Granaduh Invada, invaduh Let's call the whole thing off. From a TW3, News musical sendup weekly broadcast, years ago. Mashup of Tomato, tomahtoe.

For the last 25 years, the administration and coaches have been playing Calvinball.

Really, what has Dolson done? It was alluded to and alleged here. Does not mean it happened. Or if some of it did, so? He may have made an offer. It may have been declined. He did not announce it on any official statement. Believe it or not.

You know what feels really great about now? Woody is toast. The team seems to have learned how to win. They beat the #11 team coached by Izzo on their home court. A major upset with a conference team. Woody outcoached Izzo. (Cough, cough) It is Friday night. Valentine's Day with my/your/our sweeties. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.) There's a game on tonight. We have a just about even chance of winning which means we will win. These messages on this board will get another shot in the arm. Can't wait for the tap dance by IT, you know who I mean. Dolson never did lead you on...we did. Lead on. Game on in more ways than one!

Brad has more than one wife?

Is it true that Brad Stevens will coach the second half of the game tonight?

What bothers some is that everyone is talking mainly about Brad Stevens and closing the contract. From WWII General Patton: "If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking,"

Awaiting the leak from the BOT. Stay tuned...

I doubt that there is any significance in those. No way to know if there was any unless we have a verified sighting or something other than chasing butterflies and waterfalls. No magical sparkle pony glitter has hit any of us yet. Just check out Chris007 posts. Don't worry, be happy. Just lay in a decent supply of your favorite drinks. And get your better half some flowers and candy. And remember...Brad has to get someone's approval...besides Dolson.
