I understand this sentiment, I really do. However, you want to know the best way to get a fan base united? Hang some damn bannners.

The more I think about this the more I want Beard. We're not hiring someone to teach a moral and ethics class. We're hiring someone to win basketball games. If he can keep his nose clean then it'll be 20 years of excellence. Imagine this time-line: we hire Dusty and in turn UM hires Beard. In the next 5 years IU continues to struggle and May is on the hot seat meanwhile UM has a final 4 and another 2nd weekend trip.

Just curious here. From the people you've spoken to, what's the word on Beard? Is he a no go or would he be seriously considered?

The 2 players I'd like to have back are out of eligibility. Good riddance to everyone else.

Saying a lot of great things about Woodson. Meanwhile, his team is shitting the bed.

FTR I'm fine with May. Not high on my list but I think he could do fine. BUT.....let's be honest here. It looks like at 3 a.m. he reached to the night stand to get his glasses, grabbed his wife's instead and then didn't realize it the rest of the day.

Yep look how many times I've posted......have yet to offer a damn thing here!

I think the confusion is because IU wants Woody to announce retirement and Woody is saying "fire me". He knows they don't want to "fire" him now or end of season if they can help it. Woody wants them to fire him for $ and so that he can use it as fire power and garner sympathy (in his mind) from a segment of the fan base/supporters. Dolson still has to play nice with people that supported Woody so that certainly plays a part in trying to make this as amicable an exit as possible.

IU/Butler/ND guy. Yeah he was certainly over the top. Still though

What's this board's deal with Luke Brown? What'd he do to anybody to warrant being the butt of so many jokes/off-handed comments? Leave the kid alone. Also given his ability to shoot I'd be willing to bet he'd be welcomed to our last 8 years of absolute misery in terms of shooting. I just don't get it.

The whole contemplating retiring thing is to try and make this look like he is going out on his own terms. If he wants to coach the rest of the season then he will. Now his desires may change after Saturday. And for my list of candidates: 1. Stevens (not gonna happen) 2. Beard 3. Pearl 4. Few 5. S. Drew 6. Calhoun

I'd argue he should be the top option. Lifer, great coach, great recruiter (top talent to Gonzaga) and so much tournament success. Only reason for him not be top option is he just turned 63 in December

While the topic of utilization issues has come up. Is there a way to respond to someone's post and not be pushed to the end of the que but go back to the place you were just at? Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem for everyone?

They're not going to fire a coach mid-season that played here. The only way they part before end of season is through a "mutual" agreement to retire, effective immediately.

This might end up being enough to pull the plug now

So everytime FM throws a tuddy Memorial Stadium needs to cue up the ABBA song. It will also make the opposition want to forfeit early.

They didn't want to name it something people could remember? I love craft brews but some of the names are just ridiculous. Grandma's Left Handed Teet Milker Stout is the next beer I'll be brewing.

Google him

I'm not condoning DM'ing her. I was simply speaking on the content of the message

In regards to the TO thing from last night. I have no issue with not calling a TO there. I do have a problem lying about it and throwing his players under the bus. I also have an issue when down 3 with nearly 3 seconds on the clock, launching the in bound pass to the other baseline where 4 purdue players are waiting for it.

That's considered hate mail? Wow....

Win or lose they are playing their ***** off. Both teams

Wheels getting wobbly

Decent start. If Goode doesn't play 35 minutes it'll be malpractice

Huge get. OL are an absolute premium in the portal. Hell yes
