Not reading all of the 30 pages before here, so I’m sure this was said somewhere/somehow. while not someone I expected/wanted, he is now our coach and we all should throw our full support behind him. Give him to to implement his system and get players he wants. I don’t think we need to compare him to other first year coaches in the conference (a la May) that many wanted at the end of last season. from what I’ve read (and again, was probably stated here) dude knows ball, is a grinder and won’t be outworked. Learned for a long time under really good coaches. Has a history of winning. lets get behind him and hopefully reap the benefits of this hire for years to come

Just let it go. (When official) we have our coach. Let's all rally behind him and support him instead of getting into a pissing match over stories

I honestly can't keep up anymore

this is the most bland statement....of course he's accurate with what he said. Could summarize this as "it could happen at anytime"

I don't know much about DeVries, but would be underwhelmed if that was the hire...as of now. Like many coaching hires, the final judgement doesn't happen until on the court results happen/don't happen

we go from 3 smiley faces earlier this morning to a frowning face...hmm

Well, yes, Monday at the latest would be the intelligent thing to do so portal players can know that we have a coach and who it is… I am operating on the assumption (a BIG assumption, I understand ) that this coaching hire could (would?) send shockwaves through the CBB landscape. just one makes opinion, and it could be very wrong

I know nothing but I think today is when the lid comes off and tomorrow we officially have a coach. but then again, I could just need coffee

Who is Harper?

He was talking about Chris Collins at NW when using that language, not Brad Brownell. He did mention that Brownell was considered widely as a solid up and comer when he was at Wright State before moving to Clemson and implied that "if Tom Crean" (Sorry @realTomCrean) didn't work out back then, Brownell would've been someone (was?) looked at hard...

I'd like to know, lol...

I think he means that he sees success at Northwestern, but he doesn't think he sees any evidence that would make him convinced Collins would succeed at IU to the level that he would be expected to

He also said that he doesn't see "another gear" to succeed at IU....lets hope he's right

Is today gonna be a slow day after the late night YeagsBomb? Maybe with stuff slowly leaking out Tuesday?

I’m in there like swimwear

I also agree that there will be no press conference tomorrow. Later in the week, most likely. No further questions at this time

Just curious - did anyone ever confirm that BS was at the BigTen Tournament today?

such a good show...sorry to deter from the thread, but had to comment

In gp (and Chris, Jerry, RTZ, etc.) we trust

what new news are you hearing?

I bet some, but rarely pay attention when lines are locked....but my question is this: as it is directly under BB, does this mean it had the second most likely odds before locking?

Hopefully this doesn’t mean his hook isn’t big enough and he is gonna miss out on the big one(s)…

Has already dropped down to +2500

It’s really smart to come to a message board when looking for real time breaking news when this coaching search has been so tight lipped. kudos to you, sir
