Magnanimous

The hypo was with our current roster. Since we don’t even have a system this season I find it hard to believe we’d by significantly worse if these players had to run one.

What do folks think our record would be if McCollum was coaching us this year?

Mark Few isn’t coming here…

Dunkin’ over Tim Hortons! LFG!

Can I hijack this thread to talk about overtime in the Four Nation Faceoff championship? It’ll kill a few minutes until the next rumor.

I think the biggest question mark was him being compelled to go after Romeo Langford, who wasn’t a fit anywhere…

Tried to take a picture of 1975 IUBB vs Illinois. For a moment I thought this was K, but other shots indicated it was someone else. I don’t know if K was on the sideline right next to Knight during games…

They’re both wearing red, but I’m not sure of the context or caption…

His initials are “B. McC.”

We’ve seen him coach in the Big Ten already…eight seasons and finished higher than 7th place once.

I think McCollum is coaching in the Big Ten next season.

Is this site currently acting up for anyone else? Examples being it keeps signing you out and having ads creep down over the notification icon?

Tough loss, but he drew up a good play at the end for the final shot. Players just didn’t execute.

Drake is hosting Bradley today on ESPN2 (2 pm ET). #1 vs. #2 in the MVC.

Random question while we wait for the latest rumor - is World Wide Wes still a thing or did NIL and Kentucky basketball no longer being cool move that guy elsewhere?

Yes, we won’t hear anything official until Drake’s season is over. So it won’t be at least until the second weekend in the NCAAT.

Ben McCollum is both a better coach and NBA executive than Stevens. Don’t bring him up again.

The only slam dunk hire IU has made in the last 130 years was the second time Branch McCracken was our coach. No one is saying McCollum is a slam dunk, but I think he’s a unique coaching talent within the “up and comer” crowd of the last 10 years. And it sounds like folks’ biggest concern is his ability to handle the stage, not his basketball acumen… I want the best coach, and I have yet to see anything indicating he shouldn’t have that argument made in his favor. He runs a very efficient offense and his teams grind on defense. Will he start landing Cooper Flaggs with that type of play? Maybe not, but he will bring in talent here and also make the most out of the players who will actually stay 2-4 years and who are the types of players that win championships for other programs, yet our previous coaches cause to plateau in year two…(e.g., Robert Johnson, Armann Franklin type players)

Bump for Valentine’s Day rumors and ruminations.

Candidate B’s Year 1 story is not over. Candidate B also has a .920 D1 winning percentage with a D2 roster. Candidate B also has three wins over P4 schools with players who would lose an intramural game at the HPER. How many P4 wins does Candidate A have?
