Shrewsberry is a proven power conference coach? Yes, it's proven that he's had jobs in power conferences, a whopping 3 years and change at 2 schools. Proven that he can win big or even consistently in a power conference? No, not even close. He did decent at Penn State considering how bad they usually are. Still only won 54.4% of his games there overall and 42.5% of Big Ten games (highest finish was 9th). At Notre Dame he's won 40.5% of his games overall and 35% of his ACC games. I just don't understand the lovefest this guy gets on this board. He hasn't spent more than 2 years at any head coaching job yet and hasn't done a great job at any of them since the best he did was a decent job at PSU. A terrible record at IUSB (23.8%). It's extremely clear he isn't a guy that can turn a program around quickly, much less whether he can turn one around at all. He'd be a nightmare hire since even if he's not winning in year 3 people would be saying that he just needs more time based on his previous jobs. Potential only but hasn't shown he can reach that potential.

I've wondered before about how someone so thin-skinned survived as HC in NY. I have come to believe that it's because he's completely oblivious to those who aren't in his immediate circle.

Yeah, it was kind of weird. Maybe they were trying to get an open shot for a specific player or maybe the ones passing up the open shots weren't the best shooters. I know the current IU team couldn't make that many passes in a single possession. They'd turn it over before they got anywhere close.

They think all the at large bids should go to SEC teams. All the other conferences, including the B1G, aren't good in their opinion.

Dolson has shown he is willing to spend money to win. Some actual footage of him in a strategy meeting:

That's Cignetti's own stated preference straight from his mouth which matches with the players he ended up bringing in from the portal. I want high end talent but I trust this coaching staff to identify talent that fits.

Probably had more than 10 hours rest, too.

Did they play? If not, he probably won't go after them going by his statements and last year. He likes production over potential.

I'd start the fire thread the minute it was announced.

Give him a few minutes.

"At some point." So when he was at Butler? That would make sense. Now or in the recent past? That wouldn't make sense.

That wasn't my point. I agree that IU was under-represented on the offensive side. My point was that it wasn't as bad as it at first looks. IU has an average of 2.5 players on the teams which seems low for one of the best offenses in the league. I guess that's a testament of how good the coaching staff is since they're doing more with less.

It's offense only. I would add that some are being counted double by Stuhoo. McLaughlin from OSU, for example, is on both the 1st team (coaches) and 2nd team (media) which he is counting as 2.

I was on that board until a few years ago and I don't miss it. That describes multiple posters on there. The first one that comes to mind is Cavanagh but from what I remember he's way more combative than this poster.

They lost to Northern Illinois at home. That doesn't seem legit to me. Other games of note: beat UL by only 7 at home and more recently only beat a very mediocre USC by 14. The only impressive win they have is the one at A&M to start the season. They've blown out some bad teams. I'm just unconvinced they're for real. Just like most years, they're fool's gold and will get embarrassed in the CFP if they win their home game. Which is a big if.

And they're very overrated. That's the game I hope IU gets.

Probably intentional if true.

Only at "lesser" High Major level like the B1G. Not in the almighty SEC where even losses are wins.

3-point shooter. No wonder Woodson blew him off.

Oh, I meant if you had heard the story of him blowing off the dinner to have pizza from other sources rather than if you heard about the fellas lounge. I guess you answered that question because if you had you would probably have heard who the recruit was. We just have HH word on this one, I guess.

@Chris007, HH had a story on their podcast of blowing off a dinner with a portal recruit to have his wife order a pizza for the guys Woodson was hanging out with. Have you heard about that and know which recruit it was? My guess is Love.

She's had plenty of trollish posts.

You say that Buckner knows a lot about basketball. I believe that, he should as a former player and (a very bad) coach. Yet you also claim that the nepotism on his part and the half-a$$ed "coaching" on Woodson's part is due to their love of IU basketball and not because of ego or money. Somehow they don't recognize the terrible product on the floor? They don't see the win/loss record and all the blowouts? How can these two do this to the program they supposedly love if not for ego and money since they know so much about basketball? No effort has been made on either's part to make the changes necessary to actually produce a winning team. That means they either don't understand or they just don't care. Since everyone agrees that it isn't the former, it must be the latter. Why? The obvious answers are money and/or ego. They're ruining their legacies because of it. Fans under 50 don't remember them as players, just what they're seeing now. What is being shown now isn't a good look.

Jeez, how far do you live from the grocery store?

It's inevitable that the grammar and spelling police eventually make a mistake themselves and look like bigger fools for it.
