Better does not necessarily equate to 'home run hire'.

One could argue that Indiana is no longe a power. Not that we haven't been, or won't be again. But with Crean, we were pretty insignificant, nationally. We need a coach that totally restore IU basketball to its rightful place among the blue blood elite programs.

The problem with the NCAA tournament is that you have the best 68 teams in the nation playing 67 games... and EVERYONE goes home a loser except one team. If you're going to base your decision for a new coach on one game, the odds are incredibly high that that game will be their final loss. In that case, you have to judge the team/coach/performance on who they played, how they played and what their overall standing was going into the game/tournament. Any other evaluation will, by definition and design, be suspect.

Nope. No way. Never.

Wow. Sherri thinks it's fake? She could probably find work somewhere as Captain Obvious.

I've followed him for a while, and chatted with him several times over the season. Seems legit, and I have no reason to think he's telling tales or trolling.

Check this video out... the tunnel is at at the 11:00 mark.

This... and my first thought was why is Billy wearing a suit while touring the IU facilities... not saying that he would not have, but it just struck me as odd.

Yeah, I got that vibe as soon as I saw some of his tweets...

Carolina is taking it to Butler...

How many of us are doing the same thing FOR FREE?

The presser is about ready to go...

Well, crap... there's something you can NEVER un-see.

Fixed that one for you...

I posted a screen shot above...

It's not down... the Server 500 errors just indicate that it's being slammed... I got in on about the 3rd or 4th try.

Albers is all in on this one... not sure that makes it true... but he certainly is not backing down...

At first glance, I thought you said "take the sticker off my WEDDING helmet". :D #bwahaha

Sounds like a load of crap, made up on the spot... or wishful thinking on your part. Alford. Is. Not. Coming.

The whole "behind the scenes negotiations" thing was pretty much the point of the "search firm" thing. IMO, there is ZERO chance that Donovan is in Bloomington... Wake me when you have something concrete.

They've been off since Wednesday. Again, NOTHING has changed in the past day regarding anyone even remotely mentioned with this coaching search except the unlikely candidate, Sean Miller. Facts is facts. You can't change 'em no matter how hard you try.

The timing just doesn't make sense... what has changed in the last day, besides 4 NCAA coaches now being out of the tournament? The only players for whom anything has changed are Painter, Huggy, Beilein and Sean Miller. Nothing has changed for Alford. Nothing has changed for Donovan. Nothing has changed for Bennett, Archie, Marshall or Mike Whited. So, if Sean is the guy, then maybe there's something to talk about... but none of the rumors are about him. Donovan is NOT in Btown today... none of it adds up... There's nothing to see here (yet). Time to just chill and wait this out.

that's just cruel. :D

Just my luck... right after the 97% comment, I turned him off... back on now...

DD is off his freaking rocker... just said "97% of you want Alford at Indiana"... what a tool. Where the hell does he get this crap? No doubt, still trolling for listeners, but c'mon, man...
