Thanks for clearing that up. I don't use Twitter so.....no tweeting for me.......Same goes for chirping or even beeping!

I'm trying to figure out if he was talking about a game currently being played or????? In that case "promised land" must mean sweet 16 fo some team?

Oh, I know. On the other hand he could have said something like "Why are you asking me about that? I'm trying to get this team ready for a playoff run." Now, that would be a case of avoiding an answer WITH an answer. I just hope this forum doesn't come down with a fatal case of celebrating too early. You know what I mean? We've all seen it with players. A guy will hit a shot with seconds left to put his team up by a point. The guys on the floor start celebrating too early, and the other team goes on to score the actual game winning points. Hope that isn't the case here.

Or perhaps simple honesty?

Wait. Did you mean to say "Glass did say this would happen" simply meaning he would talk to HS coaches about it?

Maybe some of the posters here who know various HS coaches could ask them their opinions on some of these candidates. I would be very interested in what impressions they have of these guys. What were their previous interactions with them like?

Was it a moderator, regular poster, new guy or ????

It wasn't just the players they didn't have access to. Crean was never on their shows, while Painter and Holtmann were each on at least once a week.

Well, there was a Barry from a previous generation who was pretty darn good at doing it that way. Remains his claim to fame, even in commercials.

I had to switch from my Samsung tablet to my laptop to even read what you followed up with. Don't know why some things don't show up properly on the tablet sometimes. Thanks.

Are we sure the question and answer are being accurately shown? It doesn't make any sense as shown. Sounds more like he was answering a different question entirely.

So does Wright get a call from Glass now?

That's not a bad hire.

That statement sounds pretty definite to me.

Isn't that what they all do? Like they are each other's source? Over at 247, those guys were like gone/staying/gone/staying. Makes you darn near dizzy.

All those past players make really good points. I hope, and somewhat believe, that Glass listens sincerely to what they have to say. They were all at the very heart of this program. Sadly, I'm also not surprised that wasn't the case in the past.

Can you expand on those "shady areas"?

I think some credit has to be given to how well some of Kent State's guys are playing. Wouldn't lay it all at the feet of the defense.

March Sadness?

Trying to think outside the current list. How about someone like Oregon coach Dana Altman? He's been pretty darn good.

Kentucky reply: You gonna lock up our Grampar too?

I still chuckle remembering one game where Knight yelled at Lewis out on the floor. Lewis just stood there and yelled right back at him! Kid had some balls.

Hulls is still playing somewhere? I had no idea. Where is he?

I thought he just meant the new coach wouldn't have to worry about being able to pay his assistants well. Not that IU would have a group of names he had to choose from.

I also heard that call. When he was talking about the "top ten coaches", he wasn't talking about won - loss records, or anything like that. He was talking about how hard the coaches were recruiting Romeo. I just wanted to add that in case someone didn't get want you meant. Sounds like another case of a top in-state player being given less attention than deserved. I think that may have been happening a lot.
