Exactly! We're not having fun yet?! To each their own, but to me, coach-search season equals two things... Actual excitement for something IU b-ball related, which has been real hard to come by the last 4 years IMO and... That Big Foot is finally ready to disappear for good :)

Really makes me wonder how Crean would've done in the NIL era with IU's big pockets and maybe like a realllly good personal assistant or two to keep the chaos at a minimum and everything organized well. Wonder if he'll ever coach again??

I mean, I guess. Just seems like there's a lot of other really good coaches out there in play that could be options if we missed on Brad. Again, sounds like heavy speculation of what the IU admin could / would do vs. what several knowledable folks on here have said absolutely won't happen.

Based on what intel?? The handful of BTB "insider" posters that consistenly have good insight to what's really going on have ALL said very recently that Beard has no shot... as in 0%. To me, it doesn't sound like Beard is low on the candidate list - it sounds very much like he's not on the list at all and never will be.

It's beyond laughable. This might be the last half I actually watch this season which makes me sad. But it's pathetic.

Scale from 1 to 10 -- how confident are you in IU finally getting Brad? I'm full steam ahead on the Stevens train -- ready to have my heart broken again.

^^ THISSSS ^^ Everybody comparing the current situation to how things worked in the past and completely skipping over the whole NIL thing is wild to me. The Mark Few thing is the perfect example - Gonzaga had the advantage in the past because they had the MUCH better coach with consistent success to show for it. That has gone right out the window in the NIL era and now money talks (openly) -- major advantage for IU.

I was smiling the whole time reading that article - he cracks me up. Always keeping it extra real. How could you not want to play for that dude?? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

"that halph"

Military also doesn't make a zillion dollars off the backs of it's "players" via TV contacts, merch, etc. It's just not a good comparison. College football and basketball players may not be traditional employees, but they make big money for a lot of people who aren't them.

His dad and grandpa are great Twitter follows! They're so proud of Tamar and seem to really be into IU and all that comes with it. His whole family seems like a great group of people really - they're active in the comments thanking people and saying how excited and proud they are. It's heartwarming how they've really embracing our beloved IU already.

In order to get a chase-down block from behind, you actually have to run and chase the guy down, lol :)

Multi-Team Events

I have no clue about the timing on this, but it's like 99.9% happening, right?? The SAT and ACT exam requirements were waived due to the pandemic and he only had a 2-3 classes to complete before he was good to go (if I remember correctly). With the classes being online and everyone in quarantine (for the most part), he should plow right through them ("should" being the key word there). Has anyone heard anything that would suggest this isn't pretty much a lock??

Man, still haven't decided if these simulated tournaments are a fun thing to pass the time or just make me even more sad that the real thing got cancelled right when IU finally got in? Guess I shouldn't complain... but also, f*ck you, corona!! :(

This is the old Hoosier Guy content I come here for! Yes, man.... YES! lol

Serge: What are you going to wear on a date? OG: A shirt. And a sweater. But I'm gonna take the sweater off when I get there. Cuz it's going to get hot. LOL

Didn't Juwan say something similar last year? About how Justin would dumk everything in practice but not in games for some reason.

Anybody notice TJD telling Smith to dunk it on that fast break feed from Rob and Justin telling him to shut up, lol?

Just. Win. Baby.
