“Trayce, I know you’re excited, but there will be no tweeting emoji’s during team activities, understood?”

Yep, definitely don’t see “brace yourselves” as a bad thing. Probably gonna get a big ol’ wave of goodness. Multiple announcements...maybe assistant coach and couple players would be my guess.

Man, the way TJD has been acting with his hype, and then the things he has said in his interview about how he thought last season went and how this year is gonna be better for them with a new style, I’d like to think the days of him looking like he doesn’t give a crap on the court are over. I bet we see a new and improved Trayce with some fire and passion he seemed to lack on occasion last season. Really cool seeing him act this way about the direction this program is headed.

Yep that did it, thank you!

Yep this is exactly what is happening with me.

I clicked on the link again to start from the beginning and it just started at a segment with Jason B and it was those two for a good 38 minutes and then Dan took a break and then came back and said “talked to Dane Fife earlier...”, but at the beginning of the segment of the link it just starts with him talking to Jason, no Fife.

Ok cool I’ll give it a shot, thanks! Was he talking for a while and not just about IU basketball? What I forked through they were talking about all sorts of stuff and I didn’t hear anything about IU so maybe I happened to skip over the exact parts I was looking for, ha

Anyone know if there’s a recording of the interview with Fife and Dakich? I saw someone posted the link last page to Dan’s show and I clicked on it and went through the whole show on that link and didn’t hear him with Fife at all, so didn’t know if there’s somewhere else to go. Thanks

Baylor with 47 at the half and only two points from free throws

Geez, it’s just enjoyable to watch basketball when a team is as efficient with their shot making as Baylor is. The sound of the splash is way better than a clunk. Plus their defense is so aggressive and impressive.

Thanks...I could see Dane coming in as a replacement to Woodson and then hopefully Lewis would also hop on board for a couple seasons or so and then he can go take a head coaching job elsewhere.

Heard deal is being finalized with Lewis.

I’ve heard that about a certain coach who’s name rhymes with Lane Knife...he must be getting tired of mopping up his boss’s tears...

Hunter for sure....he was significant with the development of NBA big men Roy Hibbert, Greg Monroe, and Otto Porter...probably others I can’t think of.

Wouldn’t this make a Lewis/Fife combo seem pretty likely, or do we now think there could be someone out of left field to join one of the two?

Saw what you and the other guy were talking about on HSN about his buddy’s restaurant having a big catering order for Wednesday and that he saw Sean May on the shortlist. Definitely is interesting if it pieces together. Makes me wonder that if there is indeed a presser on Wednesday if that means we won’t hear anything about it until then with a presser, or if there could still be an announcement today, and then they say there will be a presser to go along with it on Wednesday.

If IU’s coaching staff ends up being Mike Woodson, Dane Fife, Michael Lewis, and Kenya Hunter, then wow that’s legit. Probably the best lineup we’ve had in who knows how long, and that’s regardless of the fact that 3/4 are IU guys...their track record at this point speaks volumes. Everyone is their own piece of the puzzle bringing in their own expertise to the game/team.

I know my grandparents would be extremely happy to see Fife come to IU. They are both alum and are the reason I’m so into IU basketball. Once they got to the age where they couldn’t travel, they stopped going down to Bloomington for games but then got season tickets at IPFW when Fife was the head coach there since it was close so they could root him on. They got special seats and he talked to them after just about every game. Pretty cool

I’m anxious to see if Lewis and Fife would actually come together. You would think one of them would be in line to be the takeover coach after Woodson, but wouldn’t both of them want that spot if they came?...for that reason I could see Turner being one of the assistants, but who knows. Would be more than fine with any of those 3 knowing that one of them would for sure be Lewis or Fife.

I love me some summer, but is it November yet? This is really shaking up to be as exciting as I can remember. I really do think Woodson will get the transfers and assistants he wants and the upcoming season is gonna have a feel to it we haven’t felt in a long time. I love that Coach Woodson loves IU, and he’s gonna get us back to where we are supposed to be. I don’t think he’ll accept anything less.

Makes me wonder, let’s say we do indeed wait on Lewis and end up getting him...would there be no way we get Fife, or could there be a good chance we get them both?

Yep definitely sounded like it to me...I posted the same thing but deleted because I saw you beat me to it, ha.

Gotcha thanks, and that’s very true. I don’t see how both couldn’t happen. Even if Dane hops onboard and that is announced, that doesn’t mean Roberts couldn’t also be announced that he’s in a different role.

Agreed, I definitely think he’d want to a part of this big time and I’d hope he’d be willing to do whatever role necessary to stay onboard. I’d like to think if he knew Fife had a shot at coming he’d gladly move down the line a bit to get Dane on the bench. Is the news about an assistant today going to be about Roberts staying on staff, or someone else coming in?
