  1. List of possible replacements: https://theathletic.com/4084943/2023/01/12/kevin-warren-big-ten-commissioner/
  2. No. Like IU athletics, it will just be more of the same except with a different name.

    Why would he possibly be an exception? He was also an assistant under Miller so that would be too coaches in a row you couldn't really help.

    I'm pretty sure it's after IU will have eliminated themselves from an at-large NCAAT bid.

    When he was hired there were stories of him being stubborn and ignoring the advice of assistants as an NBA HC.

    An advantage to living in AZ is that I just got home a little while ago. Checked the score and can now do something better with my time than watch another loss.

    What are volunteer positions? Student managers and such? If so, would this rule change limit how much they're able to work with the players since the coaching staff has a limit?

    I thought so. I vaguely remember that game but certainly not the T for the jersey being untucked. That's hilarious. I mostly remember how crazy their old arena was. Small but the crowd looked like they were super close to the court, like they were almost on the court. That and a really good IU team struggling against a very bad PSU team.

    Was that early '90s? Like '92 or '93? I remember when IU was really good at that time and PSU was pretty new to the league they had a tough game there that went to OT. IIRC, that was also the timeframe that the NCAA was cracking down on untucked jerseys.

    The $10M/year coach couldn't handle that? Poor guy, life must be so rough for him.

    Being a role player isn't a problem unless they can't perform that role or don't know the role they're supposed to play. Right now, players seem to be missing the latter. When most of the players don't seem to know what their role on the team is, that's a coaching problem. I see IU losing by double digits.

    Barstool got what they wanted out of the post: IU players to respond so they can make an article out of it. The IU players, all upperclassmen and old enough to know better, fell for the troll. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3451701/checking-in-on-indiana-basketball-theyve-lost-two-games-in-a-row-annnnddddd-players-are-now-fighting-with-fans-on-instagram

    So the coaches blame the officials and the officials blame the coaches for the current state of B1G officiating. The coaches will do anything within what they're allowed to do to win so it's the officials that need to make the change. Foul out 1/2 a roster and throw a few coaches if that is what it takes, but they'll get it and adjust accordingly. I don't know how one can blame the coaches for the inconsistency within a single game or between separate B1G games, though.

    Dane Fife leaves IU staff

    Whaaaaat? This is the first I've seen this one. So he thought he was next in line for the HC position and talked openly about what he would do differently when he got it? That sounds like he was undercutting Woodson.
  19. He's a Kentucky kid so I don't see him de-committing either way. I would love to be able to flip him to IU but I just don't see it happening. But out of your two choices, I guess if Calamari leaves. Fear of the unknown and all.

    UNC was able to get away with it because it was academics and the classes were also offered to non-athletes. They were able to successfully argue that it wasn't within the NCAA's purview. Phone calls to recruits, on the other hand, would have received no such exemption. 3 of the 4 recruits that Hoosier987 mentioned in the post I was responding to.

    And the 5 year show cause penalty he received? The NCAA would likely have absolutely hammered IU if they had kept him. It wasn't a big deal because it was phone calls, it was a big deal because he had already gotten in trouble for doing the exact same thing. He basically acted like he was above the NCAA's rules. How do you think the NCAA would've reacted towards IU if they had kept him? In doing so, they'd be saying that the NCAA rules don't really apply to them, either. The NCAA is incompetent but they would've done more to IU if they had kept him. Besides, that class isn't all that impressive. Certainly not worth getting hammered even worse by the NCAA for having the audacity to not fall in line by keeping Sampson. 3 of the 4 ended up at IU regardless.

    No! I hope they don't bail out UK! Make UK pay out the ridiculous buyout when they fire him.
