Double dribble no call

How many six point swings do we see where we miss a three and they make one?

He does. I also think he leads the Big Ten in fouls that refs decide to call. Not saying that he doesn't foul a lot, but for some reason he gets called for fouls that other guys aren't.

This is my thing......I think that even people who think that Woodson should come back next year don't envision him being there beyond next year. That's pretty telling IMO and the reason you have to move on.

I'll be watching the game. Coaching change is beyond my pay grade, but can still watch the team play.

@IUHoosierJoeHave you updated your ratings?

In terms of the Bruce Pearl/Deon Thomas dealings….it was 1988. Thirty six years is a long enough time to let those actions go IMO regardless of which side you are on. And at this point, I’m not sure what would actually even qualify as ‘shady’ things you can do. It’s a different day. Adapt to the current climate of what is accepted.

McNeeley is not a college 4. He’s 6’6” 185. Mgbako is a college 4.

LCS, you have your weekly top 25? Would like to get up another combined poll.

The Colorado Buffaloes didn't have the money to pay Deion Sanders when they hired him. They banked on him being able to bring about a change that would increase the value of the program.

Chris isn't going to give information he isn't comfortable giving out. That said, if it were a "plan" for some time in the future when they finally decide to move on, that isn't really something that would newsworthy for Chris to post.

I heard a rumor that Earl Calloway's shoulders hit the transfer portal years before he left IU.

I used to really hate reading LCS posts. Now he's one of my favorite posters. Either he's evolved or I've evolved. According to my wife, I haven't.

big ten refs…..no travel or three seconds called here. https://x.com/itsAntWright/status/1761841769434538427?s=20

Sparks probably just because as a two time transfer would have to sit a year

Someone posted it here in this thread somewhere but I don't recall the source. IMO, if he's lost Galloway he's lost the whole team. Galloway is a coach's kid, 100% Indiana all of the way and has stayed loyal to the program even prior to knowing who was going to replace Archie Miller.

Winning -- or least playing competitively in most losses -- hid a lot. First two seasons, 11 of IU's 26 losses were by 5 points or less. This season only one of IU's 13 losses have been by 5 points or less. IU's average margin of loss has been 14 points this year. There hasn't even been a 'if the ball had bounced our way in this and this and this' game where the Hoosiers would be in the hunt for the NCAA.

Just looked at their resume and was shocked to see right now they haven’t played a single quad 1 game.

FWIW…..of Davis, Crean, Miller, and Woodson….this is the quickest I’ve ever been on board the ‘he has to be fired’ train. And it didn’t even enter my thoughts until this year. There hasn’t been a single moment of this season where the team has looked good. And it’s not untalented, just incredibly uneven. And I’ve grown tired of Woodson’s hand wringing and ability to put in the work to fix the issues.

Sometimes they are structured like that, sometimes not. But regardless of how they are structured, they can be negotiated to be paid out differently later.

I would have to think that a donor on the side of Woodson and Buckner would be....let's say....in the early bird dinner crowd. Going to have to seek donors who still chew food with their own teeth in order to counteract them.

I don't think people understand SEPs*. I'll watch IU games for the rest of the year and hope they win. Just my nature. Doesn't mean I don't want a change at the top. SEPs, by their nature, I'm not going to worry about. The board of trustees has to make a decision and how I root from my couch has no bearing on that. * -- Somebody Else's Problem

Or could be money spread out over several years instead of all at once.

What are these 'win' things you speak of?
