Think this article does a good job summing up the IU job. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/03/18/insider-sleeping-giant-iu-return-national-stage/99347796/ This line in the article is perfect: “It’s weird, because I think the fan base thinks it’s (a better job) than it is, but at the same time, they sort of still deserve that level of coach and that level of program.” To use a football analogy I think we are like Alabama and Notre Dame 10 or so years ago. Both "Bluebloods" sank but Alabama made the home run hire and got back to where they were and where the old time fans thought they should be. A different story at Notre Dame. Saban went from good college coach, to pros back to college.......Sounds like a good path for Billy D.

If they win today and then 2 two more games they will have has many Elite 8's as IU in the last 20 years (1 each) :( -
Coach Search 2017 IU Candidate: Billy Donovan (OKC Thunder)
DChoosier replied to Feathery's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
This dates me but the Regulator took about a half point off my GPA (Peanut Barrel, Bluebird and Motleys did not help either). -
Coach Search 2017 IU Candidate: Billy Donovan (OKC Thunder)
DChoosier replied to Feathery's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I do not closely follow the NBA and do not know the answer to this question but..... Does BD enjoy coaching one of the best players on the planet? Depending on the coach-ability of the player it could be a pleasure or pure hell. -
Word on the street is that MSB and Gelon are shopping themselves as a package deal. My sources at the Bloomington airport mentioned charters landing from Lexington and Durham.....just saying.

Coach Search 2017 IU Candidate: Billy Donovan (OKC Thunder)
DChoosier replied to Feathery's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Long term who knows which of those three would do the best job. Near term.... Billy, by far, would excite recruits and the fan base more than the other two. -
Coach Search 2017 IU Candidate: Billy Donovan (OKC Thunder)
DChoosier replied to Feathery's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Are there any "national guys" giving credence to Billy to IU or is this primarily just board talk. -
No choice for Pat Knight?
-
Good news as the marriage was clearly over. That being said I hope he always receives, like Mike Davis, a warm welcome if he gets back to AH. On the other hand, I would still boo Kelvin if I saw him in a grocery store.

Fred essentially "threw" the game. It is a real issue if Fred cannot reflect on what he did (put HIS team/school in a much worse position to win) and realize that he has to part ways with TC.

We averaged one or two a year in the past (i.e. RMK years). That being said I do not recall oversigns.

Statistical comparisons of Crean vs Alford
DChoosier replied to ViaSwiss's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Iowa was better prior to SA than it was while he was the coach there. -
Bobby Knight "I Hope they're all dead" comments
DChoosier replied to IU Hoosier41's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Reed, Brand , what could possibly be the one reason he got fired???? (Sarcasm intended). There is not a single reason. There are a ton of reasons. He exhibited behavior that would not be tolerated in 99.99% of workplaces. -
Bobby Knight "I Hope they're all dead" comments
DChoosier replied to IU Hoosier41's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
So you do not think the '76 and '81 players would have gained anything if he would have attended the events that THEY begged him to attend?? Great coach but a petty, bitter, hypocritical old man. He stressed that the jersey only said Indiana, not the players name, but his jersey alway has, and always will, only says KNIGHT. -

I must need new contacts. It looks like Priller is playing in crunch time. -
Coach Tom crean to Missouri (rumor or whatever)
DChoosier replied to ALASKA HOOSIER's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
That is a fear....Hence the secret talks with the bottlers. There is also the issue of reaching a settlement with the Durham salon responsible for the 70 year old coach K having jet black hair. Several salon people could lose their job and want compensation. -
Coach Tom crean to Missouri (rumor or whatever)
DChoosier replied to ALASKA HOOSIER's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Hate to disagree but I have heard that influential Duke donors like Coach K's scowl but feel he does not clap enough and is too pale. Might be telling you "I told you so" very, very shortly. -

DChoosier replied to ALASKA HOOSIER's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
My alternative fact is that I heard, from people VERY close to both programs, that Duke is "backing up the truck" to get Crean to take over for Coach K. Going to take a bunch of big donors, hedge fund guys etc., but they are confident they can make it work. -

I thought all was lost until Crean started clapping and clapping.
