Should we revisit the word... potential? Sent from my SM-G950U using BtownBanners mobile app

I finally got to watch his press conference today. I'll be shocked if that young man isn't the Head Coach at IU someday. Sent from my SM-G950U using BtownBanners mobile app

If I remember correctly Skiles went nuts in the state tournament his senior year. I lived in Terre Haute and all you heard on the radio and read in the newspaper was about the monster games he was having.

You're in my spot...

That's Woody giving someone the stink eye when they don't hustle back on D.

Hire Kelvin as an assistant. He'll get that s**t right!

I'm not saying Woodson isn't a good coach but what do you think makes him a good coach? I don't follow the NBA at all anymore. Haven't really in 10-15 years. All I know of Woodson is that he was a great player at IU. Don't really know anything about his coaching style or personality.

If that rabbit comes out of the IU hat drop all the other tricks. He's the one! Don't see it happening though. Ecstatic if it would.

More than likely they are making up their own info and it's a game of "you verify my info and I'll verify yours" to make each other look legitimate. They all always seem to have known a helluva lot more after the fact than before and during the situation. They get paid to have a worse track record than weathermen. Everybody lies in their business. My dad used to say don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. That definitely applies to the media.

Damn! Muss done well!

That's a large family of barbers. I go to one in Ohio. Hell, who am I kidding? I do my own! I'd kick in free haircuts for Lewie lol.

I like his hair style

Prayers for you and your family.

Hire him. In a couple of years let Texas "poop" a bunch of money IU's way. Make a "poop sandwich" and offer it to that "Masshole" in Boston? Everything works out for a reason!

Artistically making signs 101?

Iowa had a tendency in that press of the player guarding the inbounder as they were jumping up and down they would just keep slowly crossing the out of bounds line. Thinking Lewie had enough lol.

If his health permits him to coach I would support him. I live in Ohio and remember reading quite a few stories about his health issues and the toll they took on him. He did an excellent job at both Xavier and Ohio State.

His health would be his biggest question mark. Otherwise, he produced great results at several stops and lord knows he recruited Indiana strong!

Actually, I believe Beard has said that. Since he's been so prominently this week I've watched and read a few interviews with him. I believe I heard him say that he and Pat are close friends.

If John could perform the next 5-6 years like he did the last 5-6 years st Michigan? I'm good with Patrick... don't mean we have to give Patrick the job when John leaves. I did qualify what I said.

Since Indiana has sucked so badly at basketball the last 5 years or so I've not watched as much as I used to so I'm not real familiar with Beard's style of play. I know many say his offensive style is boring. Idk.i do know that I've watched several interviews via YouTube. The guy seems to have the personality to lead and succeed. His results have been impressive at TT.

As I lay on my bed reading this, wearing my shorts, I look down at my black socks...s**t!!! He's talking about me!!! And I'm only in my fifties!

To me it wouldn't even have to be an "Indiana guy". Just a middle aged or younger guy that has a relatable personality, seems to have a good basketball acumen, and can recruit. That's someone with a future. I'm in my mid fifties. I'll be flexible on the definition of "middle aged" lol.

My definition of you losing credibility with them would be if you told them YOU were going to do something then didn't follow through. I was hopeful that Stevens would come coach IU but in reality it's just a game. It's not your life. It's not your character. Just tell them "I was wrong". Life goes on. There are multiple coaches, with multiple approaches, that can succeed at Indiana. The last 20 years have shown us that not everyone can do the job... but someone can. It is the job of Scott Dolson to find that person. He seems focused and reasonably competent. Give him time. In the meantime? Enjoy life. Those who know you best and love you will still continue to do so. They'll understand that circumstances outside of your control changed but you are passionate about the game and program. I'm sure they have things they are passionate about. They'll understand. If they don't? You don't need them.

I think there's absolutely no chance that he'd leave Nova and come to IU but if he would he'd be my first choice. Ahead of Stevens. Ahead of everyone. I love watching his teams play. I think he understands the necessity of intelligence and skill instead of focusing on just athleticism. I remember reading "Season on the brink" and how a good shooter(Alford) could cover a lot of deficiencies in an offense. I think Wright grasps the importance of parts that work together to make the whole better than the sum of the parts. Plus, the dude is stylish as hell! Lol
