CoachSS

Without specifically saying so, I think coaches don't get the leash they once did because of the immediately-eligible rule via the transfer portal. Coaches used to get 4-5 years as they would have to recruit HS players or transfers would sit out a year by rule. That is no longer the case. So, I do think many are of the belief that Indiana is line for a change because of the results coupled with the money spent. Many journalists and a small (medium sized?) array of the IU fanbase thought Indiana would have a big, big season since they "won the portal." To date, it would suggest that hasn't been the case. And when you factor in the roster changes coming to Indiana (six players alone are out of eligibility and doesn't include any transfers out) it would seem that a "reset" could be likely.

I think when IU has an opening it can be a discussion for many others on what will come down the alleyway. Personally, I try to avoid all of those conversations publicly.

I did not this year. The one the season before with the trips to practice (I live outside Chicago) and the writing, editing and film cuts it took about 27-28 hours to do. I didn't want to put the time aside this year for a few reasons. "Access" wasn't part of it. Although that manufactured rumor did pick up steam. I don't know how or why. But, would never want the truth to get in the way of a made-up internet story :)

Excuse me? Denied access? By who(m)? LOL.

Some are saying it's the best podcast ever. But, in seriousness: I never went on one as I try to keep a low-profile and I'm still getting a lot better at secrets than I used to be. Mike and Bob have very good, analytical minds for basketball. Obviously we didn't get into the "current IU coach" thing for obvious reasons: it wasn't the point of the episode. But, many (not myself) will have a chance to discuss this in-length as IU's season comes to an end in about 12 days' time. In my only other post here (FEB 16), I said all of the coaches expected to be back and so did Woodson. I'm always the first to admit when I'm wrong and things change... The guys who run this website do a good job and don't need anyone to piggy-back what they are saying, Nice work. Go Hoosiers! -Sam

As of right now, the coaches expect they'll be back and they expect the head coach to return. There's a lot of reasons for this (doesn't mean anyone has to like them). But, the vibes aren't nearly as high as they once were. (Duh, no $h!t right?). Go Hoosiers.
