    New Basketball Staff Thread

    If the roles were reversed in the Frazier situation, there would be a large group of Indiana fans who celebrate(d) what he did. Complete non issue regarding him coaching here IMO

    Definitely not McCollum who said that. Either the author or McCasland. I read it as the author trying to speak for McCasland.

    Coaching carousel thread

    OK, I'm sold. I watched a game earlier this year and was entertained, but the two things @Home Jersey just posted have me all aboard the McCollum train. To me these things are eerily similar to what came out about what Ainge was saying about Stevens (while at Butler) before he decided to pursue him. To me, the point of hiring a coach isn't to win the press conference. It isn't to have success in year 1 or any specific year for that matter. The point of hiring a coach is to get the person you think would have the best career at your school. I understand this is subjective forecasting and extremely difficult. If McCollum's the guy, go get him.

    How badass is this... “You’re really easy to guard and predictable, and this offense isn’t any good,” McCollum told him after watching the tape. McCasland was staggered by the verbal haymaker, and he went home to study McCollum’s offense so he could find a retort. His approach had to have some holes, he thought. McCollum’s offense defied the modern principle that playing with pace equals efficiency, but the results justified his beliefs.

    Mark Turgeon - A Coaching Candidate? Or Not

    How many guys think it will be The Turge? You're right Mark, one. Now stop pinching the scorer's table.

    My bad, glad to be wrong! That is a fun bracket. Thanks!

    So they changed it from that awesome bracket you posted earlier (2024) to a "normal" bracket this year? Boo! Do you know how many years they utilized the 2024 format?

    Big Ten Tournament

    I got tickets for the 1st day for cheap a month or so ago. Think a poster on here alerted me to the deal at the time (sorry not sure who or I'd give credit). It was $170 for 4 tickets (3 games) in the 104 section. At the time, it looked like IU might be playing, but its looking like they'll make it out of the bottom 6 of teams playing (bottom 9 overall).

    Strange timing and they obviously didn't get the memo that the process shouldn't start until after the season or that's its mean to fire a coach before he gets 4 full seasons.

    Maybe be playing an "old friend" in Calipari in the First Four...

    Classic Turdue loser little bro mentality. Their fans at Mackey whine after every call that doesn't go their way.

    General Coach Candidate News

    Any chance with Tommy Lloyd? Same age as Oats and teams have had better defensive ratings. Below is the top 15 coaches from the start of the 2021-2022 season until now according to torvik.

    It was $20 for a year when I did it a few years ago. Not sure what it is now or if he provides a free trial.

    They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

    He's probably Gabe Cupps at IU under Woodson. Coach Cig type of player. It isn't about the stars its about the production. I went to see him play once (live in Westfield) before he committed and I wanted IU to offer him. He didn't even have a great game, but I could tell (even with my amateur level eye) he's the type of player that would help our program. His rebounding and command of the floor stood out to me.

    Could be a fitting final game for CMW

    Maryland Last Possession - IU Defense

    Wild to give up a game losing 3 when all 5 defenders are above the FT line extended (even leaving Queen wide open underneath)

    They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

    I know who made the death threat to Woodson. It was Ya when they had the fight. Or was that the other way around?

    They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

    I take this as there is a reason Dolson is waiting, not Dolson is waiting for a reason to fire him.
