  1. I thought @Capt. Crimson was just joking when he said that Ken Nunn was following MM. WITAF is happening?
  2. Are you hating on Jordan's? What happened to Optimist Prime?
  3. That has got to be NIL gold for both of them.
  4. My cousin's nephew's barber's cousin's nephew's girlfriend's garbage collector said that he saw MM eating a pork tenderloin at Nick's with Billy Donovan, Brad Stevens, and IU's personal jet. They were all laughing and playing sink the Biz.
  5. Not a great start to the day.
  6. I want to know if @TeeterInNJ is staking out the Chick-fil-a by MM's house to see if he can give us any inside information.
  7. I feel like we may need a new thread just to discuss some of the food crimes that have been perpetrated by IU staff. Please tell me that none of the current staff prefers grilled tenderloins over breaded ones. I am pretty sure that is a capital offense in Indiana.
  8. Probably just a meeting of the Diamond Dogs. I just assume that whatever happens on Ted Lasso is what actually happens with coaches.
  9. Going to Chick-fil-a and ordering a grilled chicken sandwich is like punching an angel in the face. I truly hope he is not a grilled chicken sandwich guy. It sound like we need to get Kenya out to New Castle for some beer and steak sandwiches.
  10. So when does a recruit typically let the coaches know where they are going? Do the coaches find out the same time as everyone else? Does the recruit call the coaches immediately before the announcement or do they let them know sooner? Does the winning coach find out sooner than the losing coach? I am just trying to figure out if no news is good news at this point.
  11. More importantly, how does he feel about steak sandwiches and beer?
  12. I hope this is a Jamiroquai "Virtual Insanity" kind of hat and not a Tiny Tim "please sir may I have some more" kind of hat.
  13. Here is the part of the story that you haven't heard about the recruitment. After MM got on the plane to leave Bloomington CMW also boarded to try to make one last pitch to get him to commit on the spot. Halfway through the pitch CMW had to leave to go to the bathroom and he left such a massive deuce it clogged the airplane toilet and MM and his family had to fly back home marinating in CMW's eau de toilet. As we have all learned, a logjam in a toilet will end a recruitment faster than a logjam for shots and minutes. MM was so traumatized by the event he couldn't even bear the thought of flying again and cancelled his trip to Louisville.
  14. I don't think you dug deep enough into this rabbit hole. He is announcing 5/12/23. 5+12+23=40. IU won their first national championship in '40 and who did they beat? The Kansas Jayhawks!

    Maybe I am reading the rules wrong, but that is my interpretation of the situation. It would also explain why the coaches were so confident that X would get the waiver.

    It is in the medical hardship waiver application. When you are completing the application, it instructs you to "Exclude preseason exhibition contests and preseason practice scrimmages that do not count toward the use of a season of competition as well as Bylaw 17 annual exemptions, except for the conference championship and other postseason competition which must be counted." If X would have played in the Big Ten Tournament, I believe that would have had to be counted and would have put him over the 30% threshold.

    I don't think that you are missing anything. The Hoosier Classic qualifies as a Regular-Season Multiple-Team Event and is thus exempt from the calculation for medical hardship.

    It says no more than 3 contests per team. Miami (OH) played 3 games, Little Rock played 3 games, Jackson State played 3 games, IU played 3 games. No team played more than 3 games.

    According to Bylaw 17.4.5.1 every Division 1 NCAA Men's basketball team is limited to one of the following: 29 games; or 29 games and one "regular-season multiple-team event...that does not exceed two contests per team"; or 28 games and one "regular-season multiple-team event...that does not exceed three contests per team". The Hoosier Classic was a "regular-season multiple-team event...that does not exceed three contests per team" and the games played are considered to be part of the NCAA Bylaw 17 annual exemptions.

    It is in the NCAA Hardship Waiver Application. The games that are excluded under Bylaw 17 are not included in the numerator or denominator of the calculation. The Hoosier Classic qualifies as a Regular-Season Multiple-Team Event under Bylaw 17.4.5.1.1.

    X participated in 11 games but only 8 of those games are considered qualifying games. The 3 games of the Hoosier Classic are exempted in the calculation for medical hardship. X would have had to participate in 9 qualifying games this season to exceed the 30% threshold (8/28 = 28.57%, 9/28 = 32.14%).

    Why is everyone so skeptical of X getting the waiver? From what I understand he has met all of the requirements. What am I missing?

    Player decisions

    I hope that CMW can coach them up to stop thinking about basketball and start playing basketball. I think a lot if the issues from last year were between the ears. That said, Lander has to stop turning his feet away from the basket when he shoots.

    I like the analysis.
