    What happens if they lose the games u want them to lose and no coaching change happens. You might want Y as the end result and go ahead with X but what happens if it turns out you end up with Z instead of Y. I respect your opinion on the matter I just won't agree with it which is what a message board is for (different t opinions). I just don't follow your reasoning saying the kids don't deserve to win these games you want them to lose with a coach most people on here agree isn't the right coach but the same kids deserve a better coach. Since iu being mediocre isn't a new phenomenon that has happen in the last 9 years and has been going on since 1995 some of the older posters have gone though a similar time regarding a coach that obviously wasn't the right guy. In my early 20s I had the same approach as you have now I wanted iu to lose to get rid of Davis. Anyone will be better then Davis and IU will return back to the mountain top. I'm still waiting. Earlier I said you probably didn't a have kids if u wanted someone's kids to lose for the benefit of the program as a whole. Having kids changed my perspective on my views in my early 20s. If someones kid sacrificed most of his childhood to become a division 1 player the hours of practice, aau traveling, etc. if it was my kid would I want them to fail? Like many on here I dreamed of playing basketball at Indiana and wearing the jersey with INDIANA on he front but like many I wasn't good enough or didnt sacrifice and put in the amount of work to make it so these kids act as proxies for some on here. Some of these kids worked their ass off since they were 6 to have a chance to live out their dream to play in a NCAA tournament with a chance at a title. So as I fan since I want crean gone (which I do) I should want that kids dream to fail for the programs best interest? Some can, I won't. So when my 5 year old puts on his candy stripes tonight to match his 38 year old dad in his candy stripes I will be cheering for the Hoosiers to win despite my desire for a new coach.

    I hate comments like this. Obviously you are not a parent. So you purposely want someone kids to fail just so you as a fan can get another coach. Never mind the fact the kids busted their butts in the off season and season to win games. Luckily us fans really have no say this matter Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

  6. I still think iu is the leader. From all the recruiting podcasts I listen to they all say he really likes crean and the North Carolina game left an impression. He could of just gone to Georgia tech because a top 6 team was in town. Who really knows Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    The next logical step in comparing numbers for recruiting rankings would be to see which top 100 recruits he landed actually contributed to the program and which ones just took up space until they moved on Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Sounds like VCU laid the groundwork early in the recruitment and he stayed loyal to them even though high majors were knocking https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/kevin-easley-opts-in-early-commits-to-vcu?utm_content=buffer3772b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Nothing like watching poorly coached or non basketball IQ kids. St. John's was up 1 with 1:20 to go and one of their players just straight up fouls providence as they are bringing the ball up. He had no idea they were up 1. Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
