Blau long left the HT. It is Seth Tow who does the Women's stuff now and he is a good follow on twitter.

And because Dale Davis is his dad who was a legendary Pacer player in the 1990's.

Is this part of a trade with Butler;)? IU sends them Matta and Butler sends IU Lukosius who was the most promising player on the Bulldogs last season.

I will give Shonda Stanton credit. While she has by no means set the world on fire at IU, she has made them a decent team since she has been here instead of the conference doormat they were prior to her tenure.

Highest ranked recruit in program history and first top-10 player in her class ever to join the team.

Good for Thad who deserves this chance and hopefully he is healthy enough.

To me Stewart being in the car is what raises my eyebrows. Kid has lived a troubled life but has contently been setting a bad example this year for everyone as an upper-class man and wonder if he has been a bad example for X. Wonder if him leaving team doesn't improve X's troubles and teams run-in with trouble in general.

This was confirmed to be an April Fools joke.

As long as they replace Celentano adequately should be a title contender like usual. Confident Redmon and Henderlong can replace Glass and Bezerra and everyone else is back. Another year of Sam Sarver and Tommy Mihalic should make them best one-two attack in conference.

Hopefully we get that tomorrow. If you broaden your mind IU has the last remaining team in the state in the tourney tomorrow. You should be just as happy for that win as any.

100% true. Woodson deserves a small part of the blame, but Fife most of it and needs re-evaluate how he handles himself in a job if he doesn't want to keep moving on every couple years.

As I have said I feel pretty good in saying he wore out his welcome at MSU and would not of been there much longer. Fife needs to look in the mirror.

This may or may not be true on the 'yes' man which can work. As I said though there is a line between yes man and acting like a know-it-all and Fife crossed it. He wore people out at MSU as well and would of been out there pretty quickly if IU doesn't take him. Constructive criticism is good but Fife needs to find the line and not cross into being a jerk and he has last few years. Needs to look in mirror and humble a bit because he has a lot to bring.

I would say this is more or less accurate. Both deserve blame but Fife's behavior and know-it-all attitude is 100% on him and he rubbed many the wrong way.

I have a pretty good feel as does Chris. I don't know him and I have nowhere near the info he does, but I feel pretty confident in what I am saying between MSU fans not liking it, some second hand chatter I know from behind the scenes, and Rabby's interview on JMV.

That is not what happened. Trust me. Izzo was going to show Fife the door pretty soon if IU did not take him on. Whether Woodson wants 'yes' men I have no idea, but there is a line between disagreeing sometimes as coaches and acting like a jerk to everyone around you and think you know everything. Fife very much was in the second one the last few years. Woodson may need to change his ways some and I think that is fair to say, but the Fife issue is completely separate and he handled himself very badly at both MSU by the end and IU all year. Taking the IU out of it, someone like Fife is not the type of person you want on staff. He needs to humble himself out and listen to others advice and hopefully him being let go makes him take a look in the mirror. Otherwise he will be jumping job-to-job every couple years and burning bridges wherever he goes.

I have no idea if the way Woodson is doing things staff wise will work and is def unorthodox. The Fife thing though is a separate issue and he acted like an @$$ and know-it-all at both IU and MSU. He needs to humble out if he wants to succeed as a coach anywhere. That is bottom line here.

100% on all of this. There is a reason Dane left MSU and it was not because they liked him. Both fans and Izzo were fed up with him and I feel pretty confident saying that.

Maybe but Fife also comes off as a know-it-all and a jack-@$$. Whether listening to consultants overt Fife is good or bad I don't know but Fife def caused division amongst the staff.

How many players come back? Is tis going to be a situation where we are down to like 4-5 players.

He was not our best assistant. He was a bit of an @$$ to everyone this year and a know it all. Take the IU out of it and a change was needed.

That was obvious listening to him and I have no info.

This statement basically confirms what I thought in a very nice professional way.

This one's on Dane as I think. I have no insider info, but he rubbed me as a no at all jack @$$ this year. Not being mean but this was reality every time I heard him speak. Seemed like he was acting like a child among adults in the room and I know for a fact he was not well liked at MSU.

I don't consider Fife leaving or Lander transferring bad news or wrecking momentum. Fife has rubbed me the wrong way all year and at MSU he was not liked at all. Lander can't play at all. We may get some bad news eventually but I don't consider either of these a problem or stalling momentum.
