go iu bb

Even if Dolson and Whitten somehow didn't have a problem with him, he wouldn't be hired because of how it'd fracture the fan base. Just look at this site as an example of that. I see no way he gets hired, thankfully.

In addition to it meaning that IU has a good basketball team again, I want the next coach to be successful so I don't have to see a bunch of posts pining for Beard to be coach.

I hope we don't hire McCollum because I call him McGollum in my head and think he kind of looks like Gollum. I don't know if I can deal with that with him as the head coach. It's not fair, i know, but it is what it is. But I also don't like the sound of his system. Sounds slow and boring.

Alcohol. It's been said he has a problem with alcohol. I know there's at least 1 video out there of him smashed and just rambling. Also, he better hope that anyone vetting him doesn't talk to his ex-girlfriends and their family and friends. The chances the first time he ever hit a women he ended up biting and strangling her, hurting her enough that he got felony charges are slim to none.

I shouldn't have watched it. I don't think it'll be him but now I've watched it and I'm going to be sooooo disappointed when it isn't.

A few steps. Some can maybe be skipped but this seems to work consistently. 1) change 'https://x' to 'twitter' in the url and hit enter to reload the page. 2) it'll probably reload as 'x.com' again. If so, change the 'x' to 'twitter' but don't hit enter, instead copy and paste that link I've tried skipping the first step but it never seemed to work.

Here ya go. Edit: See you got it. Never mind.

We've already seen that he has no problem saying he won't answer a question when he doesn't want to be asked about something. Except then it's him avoiding questions about his "retirement" which was supposedly his idea.

This after Purdue win this season put them into the top 10 all time wins and knocked IU out. Rough year for IU fans.

Well, then. I guess I'm not surprised since it's the Big Ten. Maybe a little surprised they didn't call a foul on JG for hitting the guy's elbow with his face, I guess.

Flagrant foul?

What happened? And did he lose a tooth? It looks painful. Sucks for Geronimo.

He's basing that on the unfounded premise that Woodson is a grown man, not the man-sized child he actually is.

Completely agree. He's way up there for me. 2nd on my list to Stevens, who I don't think we'll get. In addition to his winning percentage, he's also won tournaments and lower level championships. The guy just wins. If IU is serious, they should be looking at $7M+ to pull a great coach away from a school they may love. Not offer Stevens $10M then settle for someone for $3-4M. Examples: Double the salary of someone you really want like McCasland or Otzelberger. Offer Oats that $10M. Edit: McCasland is making only $2.9M this year. I bet he'd go to IU for $6-7M.

This is what a few of us have been saying for a while now. IU is willing to pay its coaches (both Miller and Woodson had top 10 salaries at one point in their time at IU) along with being in the B1G (easier to get to the tournament), profit sharing, and NIL would make the job desirable. Even with the poor results the last 8 years, IU has landed talent. The fan expectations are way down so that negative is overblown. As Miller and Woodson have shown, coaches get at least 4 years.

Excellent point. When you remove the Knight connection, Beard doesn't look nearly as attractive. I've never understood the amount of love that Beard gets. Good coach but not a home run as some think.

I was more arguing with the "by far" part. Miller's year 4 is a contender with much of the same talent that Woodson had in year 1. This is what we've become. Debating which of the last 8 years was the worst and quibbling over if one was "by far" the worst. smh Dolson needs to not **** up this hire.

By far the worst of the last 8? Miller's final season they had a losing record. Man, we really need a competent coach after these last two total duds.

What probably happened is that the poster forgot where he saw it and who said it then attributed it to the wrong person.

What are you going on about?

That's your opinion which you're entitled to have. I wasn't trying to persuade you one way or another, just pointing out that what you were saying about his buyout was incorrect.

Read the Doyel article. He was forced out.

There are 2 buyouts: 1) The school fires him. That is 70% of the remaining contract which puts this buyout at about $11M currently. This money goes to the coach. 2) May decides to leave, i.e. he gets another job somewhere else like, say, IU. This is at $5M and will soon drop to $4M. This money goes to the school. So you're original post that I replied to which stated they kept it at $5M to make it cheap to fire him is incorrect.

Then why didn't his IU teams play with hustle?

Miller would've wasted the money on low talent players. He wasn't a very good evaluator of talent.
