It's a fake tweet from @tweetgenerator He's said he's a family friend. Close friend of Todd Yeagley.

It's surprising how many think that IU will have the next coach lined up when it's announced that Woodson will not be the coach next year. I very much doubt that they will. If it's not Stevens, everyone else will be busy coaching with games left in the season. Don't they need permission from the schools to interview the coach? They might have something tentative in place, but I don't see them doing formal negotiations and job offer while Woodson is still publicly the coach. Can you imagine if that leaked? It would look terrible both for IU and the guy agreeing to a job while coaching in-season at another school. We've been through plenty of coaching changes and have seen at plenty of other schools to know how it goes. They're not going to say, "Woodson is retiring at the end of the year at which point X will take over as IU's Head Coach of the future." Even speculation about the IU job being open at the end of the year will likely result in questions for several coaches, especially May.

That was a good one. They asked questions about things I was wondering about. The younger guys on the OL being ready to get some snaps and the CB position.

Who on IU is going to guard their 7-footers? Would is going to embarrass IU.

Look at that improvement. Guess he needs another year.

A programmer's wife sends him to the store, saying, "Buy a gallon of milk. If they have eggs, buy a dozen." The programmer goes to the store, sees that they have eggs and proceeds to buy a dozen gallons of milk.

IU women pick up a nice recruit. Possible B1G Championship meet scorer as a freshman. Trains with Sandpipers, which is a quality club team. https://swimswam.com/philippine-national-junior-team-member-billie-blu-mondonedo-commits-to-indiana-2025/

Especially since his defense is basically pack line.

As opposed to how tame and slow it's already been today? Is this a guess or are you hearing something?

You're the one calling those opposed to Beard being hired as "holier than thou crowd." That is literally judging others. I guess we'll add "judge" to the list of words you use without understanding them.

Yes, I've already stated that in this thread that I would not only stop watching and supporting the basketball team, I would actively root against them. After the last 25-30 years, it wouldn't be nearly as hard as it would've been 25 years ago. They might not get me back as a fan. I would still root for other IU sports like football, soccer, swimming, and women's basketball. This thread going off the rails is why I'm even more confident now that Beard will not be IU's next coach unless the IU brass want to fracture the fan base. I know they don't read this board but they have to be aware what the effect of hiring someone with Beard's background of domestic violence would be.

What an absurd post, even for you. Woodson won't get year 5 no matter how much you'd love that. I'm not even going to bother addressing the rest of the absurdity.

Beard gets a lot of love due to his Bob Knight connection. He was an assistant coach or student manager or something at TT under Knight.

The thing is, he won't be offered the job. So whether or not he'd accept is moot. Not a realistic candidate because he won't be an actual candidate.

Will Wade isn't a realistic candidate so I don't believe you. Just because your fantasy is different than others' fantasies doesn't make your fantasy realistic.

The Beard discussion has happened many times on this board, including in this thread, so there's no reason to rehash that.

Yes, it's the "coaching" and the system which makes them look much worse than they actually are.

I bet Kathy shows up tomorrow to tell us we're just being emotional over a single loss.

26 to 4. About what I expect from a Woodson coached team going into Wisconsin. I'm starting to think that maybe he should get fired, he's not very good.

Yep. Any idea who the rest of the severance payments go to?

This isn't just basketball related but here is info on how the athletic department fared in FY 2024: Indiana Indiana University brought in a record $173.5 million in revenue, an increase of $28.8 million from the previous year. The athletics department reported $176.6 million in expenses, an increase of $37.6 million year-over-year, resulting in a $3.1 million budget deficit. IU generated $26.4 million from ticket sales (up $1.9 million from 2023), $23.6 million from donor contributions (up $4 million), and $50.8 million in media rights (up $3 million). The biggest increase in expenses came from coaching salaries, which cost $32.5 million, an increase of $6.6 million, and $22.1 million was paid in severance, an increase of $18.5 million. https://swimswam.com/ncaa-financial-reports-texas-posts-largest-operating-budget-ever-big-ten-schools-in-trouble/

Such a joke. He may as well say, "I have no idea what I'm doing."

They are not together anymore.

They get 30 days after a coach leaves. Sometimes athletes also let their intentions to enter the portal be known but don't officially enter until the window.
