go iu bb

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.

The Woodson thread got locked. Edit: It looks like it's been unlocked. Never mind.

Devries would be a good hire but an A+? Could end up being an A+ but he certainly wouldn't be an A+ hire from the start.

Pretty much everyone whose job it is to cover IU and NCAA basketball in general who have talked about the IU coaching search have said that the IU side is very quiet so they're not getting info there. That means that pretty much everyone being talked about is coming from external sources such as agents. It is beneficial for agents' clients to be associated with the IU job. The clients might want the job, hope that being thought of in connection with IU will get them a job somewhere else, or maybe just to try to get a raise/extension from their current employer. The chances are good that the people we're talking about won't be the next IU coach.

I ran in to Dolson earlier. I asked him who the next coach was going to be. He just sighed and said, "You're going to be disappointed." Okay, not really.

Does that mean there are 20 pages worth of hidden posts in this thread?

@Home Jersey called it! lol

Wear gloves when you do.
