Darian DeVries - New IUBB Head Coach

Man, did Bubba do Dolly a solid by screwing over WVU! Imagine the meltdown if it: 1) it were Brownell…with his best team at Clemson, dropping to McNeese in the firsty 2) WVU sneaks in, and Devries drops a similar game in the first -

Not certain how “successful” one would define our athletic department over the past 20 years, albeit this past year in football as an exception. Especially true in our premier bball program. If you don’t think the folks responsible for forcing Woody in the first place, and in particular demanding a 4th year — and fully funding it…don’t feel some semblance of culpability for the failure…then it’s beyond reason. You’re correct, they’re not going to hard ball (threaten in you’re terms) them to cough up again…but they certainly could sweet talk them, and even say — thanks for your support, we haven’t been successful and here’s what we need to in order to be. To postulate that it was a done deal long ago and they were all in on it again…with…Devries, nonetheless isn’t true. The money was there, Devries wasn’t. -

Not necessarily… Dolson very likely said…we did it your way last year, now look where it got us. I need a commitment to make things work and bring anyone in at this point - do I have your commitment ongoing? -

The Wink was code from insiders and big donors, posted on here, that ‘we got our guy’…just everyone had been directed to not talk, so they winked when asked about coach hiring status. It blew up on here part serious, but mostly farce. -

That’s what we’re about to find out! Just seems a bit high risk…to point to excuses and say what might have been if they had… -

Oh joy! Let’s go ‘all in’ on projected success and should’ve done …absent a couple of excuses. -

Hey, cmon with the pessimism! Their barely miss was slightly closer than ours. -

Same year end results. They just got slightly more screwed over by Bubba and Co. than us. -

More pack line!! Can’t wait. And, we get another round of head assistant Ostrom - man that dude was an offensive juggernaut - feared throughout. Maybe they’ll keep Kenya again and make it full circle! Let’s keep Armond Hill too - the godfather of rest and recovery!! Let’s run it back AGAIN boyz!! Oh yeah!! With our resources, we’ll def be right back in those play in games…once he gets a couple of years to bring in his own guys and the kids learn to adjust to that super confusing pack line and slow pace. -

Every significant win Dusty gets is gonna be salt in the wound…from here until eternity!! -
Imagine if... McCollum goes to Iowa....and crushes it! May continues to flourish at Michigan and gets regular Sweet 16s and Final 4's! Painter and Izzo keep up with their high level averages. And, we bring on Brownell...who reverts back to his SEC mean - of regular low to middle of the conference finishes - and a top 3-4 in conference and small run in the tourney every 6-7 years or so. This scenario, or similar, could very well be the straw that breaks the camel's back for many deeply ingrained long time fans. The unwavering fan and booster support that has been a huge asset -- with each successive miss it becomes more fragile. Perhaps we already are there, but it would certainly be a text book case study for Sports Management classes on administrative mismanagement and institutional dysfunction.
