Southside

Or he's only got Candyland left to play with.

And he kept smoking heba jeba even after Sampson tried to stop him. I think I saw him on a school night beer bonging a 6 foot funnel from the 2nd floor at Walnut Knolls. Totally out of control. And I hear he likes Dakich...

You think they got a deal done with Woodson already?

After catching up on the last few pages, the board went from all happy, to

lol, just read back through several pages... lol this board be like

I don't see why Boston would want him to stay as a lame duck.

I have twitter, but don't really tweet. Just really to follow sports. I don't do FB or any of the other stuff.

I love it when good parents chat on boards. You can always tweet our URL to them!

All big programs have boosters. ISU wishes they had boosters. Pollard has booster envy......

I know people don't always speak the truth, and the truth/situation can change in a matter of months, weeks, days, etc.. That said, I don't think he personally would have debunked IU rumors if he indeed was currently and strongly contemplating it. There's plenty of ways to dance around things, and he's skilled enough to dance. I would expect IU to stay on him, perhaps sweeten their offer, and that could change things along with his current Boston-specific situation. Anything can happen I know, I'm just not going to go overboard with conspiracy theories and reading between wishful lines of thinking. I do hope he comes and it somehow works out. Not much would surprise me these days.

I drool over Sage too. Fit AF. I also like to hear more female perspective on here. I know a ton of female fans who can talk smack, but they just have no interest in the board lol.

Another pretty big list of candidates https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-coaching-candidate-hot-board-version-1-0/ and a "Keith Smart is the only guy that checks all the boxes" article.... https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/tom-brew-one-indiana-coaching-candidate-checks-all-boxes-keith-smart

My guess is he would simply tell them he has a guy, can't share it now since the guy is still coaching, maybe give them a hint so they can narrow things, possibly give them a date that he'll share, and ask them all to be patient. IMO it would be easy to do it with a college coach, but waiting on an NBA coach to finish the season would be much harder.

I'm betting someone has a Fife poster on their ceiling lol. In all seriousness, he'll soon get a chance somewhere soon. I think he was rumored to have turned down the Duquesne job a few years back (which I never understood). Learning from Izzo will get him another chance, just doubt his first gig is a big time program.

Decent read lol Chris Beard is coming to Bloomington; Tony Bennett and Kelvin Sampson, too https://www.crimsonquarry.com/2021/3/14/22331079/chris-beard-is-coming-to-bloomington-tony-bennett-and-kelvin-sampson-too Coming to play, not for an interview.

He was on an earlier list I made, but I used the Indystar list and simply ran out of lines (system limitation to choices). Yup, not a problem. Was going to do it last week, but didn't have a good feel of all the candidates. I think the Indystar did a pretty good job, even if some are not realistic IMO Figured folks would love to see the trending on Q2. Q1 I knew would be pretty obvious, as almost everyone would love to have Stevens.

It's a poll. Not really looking for discussion.

I mentioned doing this a week ago. Indystar had a pretty decent article with list. Some interesting names I haven't seen or considered. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2021/03/15/indiana-basketball-coaching-candidates-brad-stevens-john-beilein-tony-bennett-scott-drew/6930968002/

I agree. The only reason I can think of, is if they are willing to throw 4M at him. IIRC, he's making around 2.7

I understand the worry, but I doubt Lander would leave without seeing who the new coach is. Unless it takes them forever to name a replacement. I just don't see a lot of player being upset that Archie is gone, and want to leave before seeing who might be the new guy. I've had all the games on. At minimum on my 46in in the kitchen area. That said, my attention span has been pretty poor. I've at least been productive during games. Laundry, cooking, work, etc.. Tonight I spoke to by BFF back in Indy for 30 minutes during the 2nd half lol. He's a PU fan. He was buzzed and called me to "feel my pain" lol

up by 10 early, lose by 10+... i'm shocked
