go iu bb

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.

One doesn't appoint a quest but one may give one. So "self-appointed" does not work better here. Your posts are becoming quite boring and heading toward boorish.

So now you're becoming pedantic and pointing out every misspelling and grammatical error? I think you're taking this self given quest to inform the ignorant masses on a message board a bit too seriously.

The important but part of the contract was the raise for assistant coaches. $11M. That's elite level. O$U's assistant coach budget is less than $1M more and they hire big names as their assistants such as Chip Kelly. So that is a big deal. All CCC really has to do is be a good CEO of the program which he has shown he can be. He has shown he can not only identify talent in players (with the help of his assistant coaches) but he can identify talented assistant coaches. When these assistant coaches leave to become HCs themselves, I am confident he'll find good replacements. The added money for assistant coaches will also help retain them for longer than they may have otherwise been here.

He's not a very good coach so you're probably right. Losing every year to Michigan doesn't help, especially this year when a mediocre Michigan team cost them a spot in the B1G Championship and a chance at a CFP bye.

It's almost like the non-con schedule was put together just to rack up wins without regard to how it would effect NET rankings... Oh, right, that's exactly what it was and B4A didn't go as anticipated.

Don't forget AH, who has posted quite a bit here. He 's been pretty quiet since B4A started, though. I wonder why.

Yes, I believe that they got to play in 4 seasons other than that one. Since he redshirted that year, it was basically a waste of the COVID year.

I think we were told by a mod that it isn't when they first showed up.

I agree, after B4A that is looking quite unlikely. They'd see teams of UL or Gonzaga quality is the round of 32 assuming they win the first round (which also assumes they even make the NCAAT). Yet you wonder why people aren't happy. Hmm

Define what a successful season would be.

He is helping run the program into the ground and apparently he doesn't care enough to put in the work to actually change course. His scheme sucks and he refuses to change it. The game planning looks terrible time after time so the team often looks unprepared. The players look undisciplined. The players look unmotivated. HS recruiting is almost non-existent. Getting blown out by teams with a pulse. Closer than they should be games against lesser teams. Those things take time and effort. Just looking at those things gives the impression that that effort isn't being made. Then there are the many stories which back that up. Hell, after a loss a picture was posted that night of him sitting around with his buddies smoking cigars and drinking wine which gives the appearance that the losses don't bother him. When we lose, we get the same excuses over and over again which indicates that there isn't any real assessment being done of what is going wrong and how to fix it. So what is he doing that shows he actually loves the program and doesn't want his legacy to be a bad one? I don't see it. As for Buckner, is he not watching the games? Is he no longer able to tell the difference between good basketball and bad basketball? The problems with the team should be obvious as they're the same problems that have plagued them for the first 3 years under Woodson.
