I've seen a few people mention Goode and Small for next year. I'd be shocked if Goode gets a waiver since it's very unlikely. His chances look good compared to those for Small to get another year. So I wouldn't count on either of those 2. Tucker DeVries will get another year.

I say I'm happy to have him instead of Beard.

Someone posted this article in the other thread but I thought I'd share it here for those that may have missed it. It's a good read. I recommend it those on the fence about him to read it, it might sway you to a more positive outlook on the hire. I don't think people who are set against this hire will change their minds no matter what unless he starts winning games. https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/todds-take-a-curt-cignetti-for-indiana-basketball-what-i-saw-darian-devries-do-at-drake-qualifies-01jpnd62eh7q

So Stevens was a yes for 6 weeks then all of a sudden changed to a no? That would mean that Stevens is flakey and/or a d***. He doesn't come off as either of those things. Sorry, I'm not buying that.

I like this hire, it seems solid with quite a bit of upside. Right now I'd probably give it a B or B+. Has experience as an assistant coach under Altman and McDermott. Turned Drake around year 1. Finished top 2 in the conference 5/6 years. Won the MVC tournament twice. Got Drake its first at large tournament bid. Won 1 NCAA game in the First Four. Turned WV around year 1. While his 1 year at WVU wasn't off the charts good, it was a huge step up from the previous year and they should have made the tournament. Had a top 15 defense. Should be able to bring his son and some other good players with him. Had 3 4* incoming freshmen for WVU so he shows he can recruit. I look at the conference tournament wins and the 1 First Four game as having some postseason success.

As voted on by other D1 coaches. What do those "experts" know?

Yeah, I'm waiting for someone else to say the same thing before I think it's done.

Osterman didn't lie. He said that all the noise was coming from outside of IU, i.e. agents. Rabby just said basically the same thing, that agents are pumping confidence that it's DeVries.

I'm guessing each of those NCAA appearances were due to winning their conference tournament? So that would be 5/6 years finishing top 2 in conference regular season plus 3 times winning the conference tournament. So even though he has 0 NCAA wins, he does have some postseason success in that regard.

I'd rather have DeVries.

Mr. Old Fart, We have processed your request. After much deliberation and careful consideration, we have decided to reject it and keep posting. If you have any questions, please drop them in the nearest trashcan and we'll get to them as soon as possible. Best Regards

KwaC. Call him/her KwaC. Everyone will know who you're talking about. I doubt it's Osterman.

We'll discuss this in this thread while you're there and get back to you with an answer in about 10 pages.

Looks legit.

So you're saying it's Brad? We can see through this smokescreen. I kid, I kid.

That is the false narrative that IU fans don't give coaches a chance before turning on them. People were very patient with Crean and many still don't count the first three years. Miller and Woodson were given over two years before the grumbling really started. With any coach, there is that small minority which are unhappy from the start.

The schools have to process the portal request within two days. So it can take two days but I don't know how typical that is. I would guess it's actually unusual. There is also nothing stopping players who are entering the portal to make the info public themselves.

Rabby says he's hearing that DeVries will be meeting with his AD today. That is interesting but it doesn't really mean anything. It could be to inform the AD that he's taking another job (either IU or Iowa) or that he's staying at WV.

Pagoda is the new NGW! You need to work on being more contrary, condescending, and combative, though. lol

Did it work? The gun for that game uses the screen refresh of CRT TVs to determine if you hit or miss. I wouldn't think that would work on a modern TV.

Maybe he'll take the IU job when we're doing this again in 4 years. lol

He certainly didn't have to take the job. I wish he hadn't.
