Brass Cannon

This fans base wants to be successful. But aren’t willing to have standards and expectations. I think Bob Knight said something about that

Losers whine about the obstacles Every loser we hire gets the same excuse made for them. Crean didn’t know the mess he was getting. Archie didn’t know the mess he was getting. Woody didn’t know the mess he was getting and now DD didn’t know what a mess he was walking into. If the door is closed you open or break it down. Stop letting obstacles lead us to failure.

Making decisions quickly and decisively and not being a victim of escalation of commitment. 45 days to assemble a staff is ridiculous. Dolson should have been all over DeVries. I manage an onsite vendor at my job and if they aren’t filling open positions I’m asking them what’s the hold up. And obviously the retread of holding onto coaches clearly after they have hit lame duck status. Look at Cig he moves fast and doesn’t waste time. We won the rose bowl and signed the bulk of our class nucleus all in the same week. While preparing to obliterate Oregon at the same time. Our basketball program can’t seem to do anything quickly. Which might work if we were doing things well. But instead we get a mediocre effort 3 weeks late.

Yep. I just don’t care anymore. This administration and fanbase have been ok with mediocrity for along time. I don’t think that changes. We aren’t willing to do the hard things that need done to get better

This fanbase is surreal at times. It’s like we’ve already started to forget the 6 minute long scoring droughts

Cool sometimes you need a guy who can manufacture a bucket to end a 5 minute scoring drought. Wilkerson wasn’t a good enough scorer to do that

Silly me to say that Wilkerson couldn’t be counted on to score. Based only on a season of watching him not be able to be counted on to score. Silly me

A low hit rate class of player is gonna succeed once or twice if you get enough of them. Just look at Creans era. Bit even Wilkerson wasn’t some certified go to scorer who could put his head down and get some points when we needed to stop the bleeding

Still don’t know why it took 43 days to round out a staff

Yep we would get a 12 point lead and just start running junk offense and before you knew it the lead would be 4

Yeah they kept throwing the ball through that net thing it kept distracting the refs

They were done a few weeks ago to be fair

Out of curiosity how many first year coaches made the tourney this year?

Year 4 I realized there was a problem. Year 5 continued it. You can’t lose numerous games you should win. 1 or 2 WTF games sure but Crean collected them like they were vintage

That’s at least more than woody ever did. Archie sometimes alluded to learning but he never did anything different. Even after the rule change made his defense less workable

There are very wealthy people who are fans that will indeed help decide the quality and peace of his offseason.

If we aren’t wowed here then DeVries is gonna have a real tough offseason

Plus LSU will riot if they win 8 or 9 games. They are convinced they got the next Saban for some reason. 10.5 is pretty fair. If Michigan were at home might still be hard to bump us up any further.

Yep that basically confirms DeVries will be a failure. FTB. Fund the buyout

IU can now recruit “Come to IU and help make it a basketball school”

Especially if Cig is doing Cig things again

If you can get a well timed technical you might be over qualified

No this style was hot garbage. From a coach that could stop playing his kid even after he caught on the bench betting on the other team

Honestly he **** the bed of having the NIL in year 1 we needed. But killing momentum is the death of any coaching regime. He’s got to raise money for a roster or for a buyout.

As if this staff knew jack about who can play in the big ten
