I wonder if I could rent out the Yum center on Saturday afternoons for an "Old Dude" league, not like they will need it anymore.....

If we paid to get Stan......we will become the laughing stock of the cheater world.

That the line is going to be MUCH wider......

yeah...I was at the Big Ten Tourney the year after he was fired. Myles Brand and crew sat right in front of us for about one minute and thirty seconds. We gave him the verbal business for how Bob was fired and followed Brand to the exit of the United Center giving him the business. 18 years later and Bob comes out and "wishes" death upon the administration? Why not just call them donkeys or lay a case out for what DB's they were...nope..Knight goes right to death...good riddance.....

Bob Knight is a cancer and an absolute disgrace to Indiana University. He has had MULTIPLE opportunities to put the past behind him and show support to the fans, like me, who supported him.....he was never mature enough to do so. He sold off all of his IU championship stuff for "estate planning" purposes and then comes out a few weeks ago and said what he said. 18 years later and he still is finding ways to embarrass the University. Knight is history and the University should continue to work towards keeping him as far away from the program as possible.

Listening to what an Illini fan has to say about Hoops is about like listening to what a Hoosier fan has to say about Football :)

I respect your opinion. Reporters have a conflict of interest. Their primary job is to write stories to sell adds and get clicks, period. In order to write the story, you have to have access. AN honest opinion which isn't favorable to the subject the story is about, seriously reduces access, reduced access, very limited stories. This IU hire is a BIG STORY, everybody wants access, therefore, I would imagine every story will be positive. In today's age, the story will, in most instances, be written in a way which doesn't jeopardize the reporters ability to earn a living. My .02

Dana O'neil? I had to google her to see who she was...glad we have her blessing (just being a smart arse)

would be A GREAT HIRE for Dayton

I wouldn't worry much about any of the current rostered players. Probably the most selfish, lowest Basketball IQ group to ever wear IU uniforms. Miller will need a few years to work through the roster

Well, now we get to see how playing/coaching in the A-10 translates into the Big Ten. SUPER amused about all the Donovan chatter, that was just comical. Archie was probably the best recruiter available and that does count for a lot. Not overly sold on the x's and o's he brings, but, better than what we had. I think the minimum requirement for an IU Basketball Coach is to make the NCAA tourney every year, I think Archie can accomplish that. I say Welcome to Coach Miller and now the "silly" offseason starts....be interesting to see what kind of Roster he ends up with for year one. I hope the Boosters who forced this change give him the leeway he is going to need for a few years.

Alford- 100% I honestly think this is a case of "booster uprising". Most of these boosters probably logically thought bringing Knight back would be our savior, but, since they can't have him they want Alford and Alford they will get. We will go through another 10 year run of not much and we can all gather back here in 10 years and have this discussion again. That's my prediction. If they really wanted to "make a change" the next coach would have been announced in conjunction with the firing.

I bet the Russians already know who IU is going to hire.........

Always get anyone we want? That how we ended up with Crean? I was on fence with Crean, I think the minimum standard should be to reach Tourney every year. I just can't help to think back to a Coach we had named Mallory, who won and had success, yet IU wanted Rose Bowls...we are still working out of that decision. I saw the "A" rated list on CBS. Alford- just no way, that aint happening. Marshall, Miller, Holtman, Bennett, Drew and Cronin. Those are A list Coaches? Not in my opinion, they look about similar to CTC. I don't think IU can sway a Self, Calipari, Williams type and that is really what the fan base wants. We have a program that will most likely be depleted by the start of next year, we now are behind most other programs in recruiting and the Coach will be expected to win right away or feel the wrath. Going to take a brave man to step into that. Regardless, the program has been dealt it's hand and I honestly hope it's just me needing to start taking meds...I just have a feeling we got a bumpy few years ahead of us, considering we won the Big Ten last year. Go Hoosiers

Source just told me "They already have planned the ceremony to hoist the "2017 NIT Participant" banner" For next year. Looks like Crean is staying.

I agree. I know I will get beaten for saying this, I'm in the camp of no coach change needed. I think IF WE COULD and I don't think we can, get a Stevens or Donovan then OK...but I think that is a pipe dream. I'm also maybe wondering if not playing at home could have been a message to the players? Something like "Playing at IU is a privilege, so you players need to check your ego" type of play? Who knows.....

For what it's worth (which is probably equal to a dog turd)......I think the playing on the road in the NIT was Glass's last gift to CTC. Kids on spring break, got it..ok. Hasn't stopped them from scheduling during semester break and filling the Hall against teams who are sub 300 year after year. If Crean was coming back, why not let him take some (assumed) heat from the fans and give the team a shot at a victory? On the other hand, if a decision has been made and that game could be the last, why subject CTC to the "passionate" fan base. Honestly, in this day and age in NCAA, who in the hell turns down a home game? Where there is smoke, there's fire. Go Hoosiers!

across first up down second J, F B, B G, C Paypal on it's way

Can't believe IU didn't make the field, hell, we won this thing 30 years ago (sorry...I just had to get in one cynical comment)

Mary v X........GOOD matchup

fair enough!

Wichita State will play their first major college team on Friday....

Puke.... Kentucky in Indy.....adding insult to injury

On script, North Carolina gets a home game...........

Committee spent the last few days in Colorado
