I don’t know what I expected based on “watch the deadline” but this wasn’t it.

What level do you coach at? I ran track/XC and helped with some coaching and so did my wife. This thread is entertaining. I don’t know that I’ve fully dismissed anything or completely believe anything. The majority of us seem to like Beard, Muss, and Oats with Drew causing some disagreement. I’ll pull for any coach, but I’d really hope at least the first 3 are talked to.

If they’re doing or planning interviews it can’t be good to have the rumor that they’ve already made an offer out there. I think there will be multiple interviews done.

Did he say who he’s hearing them from? Someone mentioned IU letting names out to gauge reactions and I’m curious if there’s any evidence of that happening.

My biggest fear. This Celtics team’s any great. The fans aren’t thrilled with him. There’s talk he’s lost the team. It just doesn’t seem like a great situation for him.

I never made state either. I made some sectional and conference finals but never state. We had a team in our sectional my soph year that got 2nd at state and had multiple D1 swimmers. My team had a guy a year younger than me that set a state record. I swam a bit of everything but my best stroke in middle school was breaststroke. I started running XC and track in high school and it impacted my stroke so I started doing more butterfly and the 500. Ironically I ended up running at Anderson (in the same conference as Rose) and they just started a swim team in the last few years.

I never even thought about the money they could make off swim camps. Swimming sees it’s small peak every 4 years with the olympics. An elite swimmer may only get 2 months in an 8 year career to capitalize. Building a brand is a big part of the job. Did you swim past high school at all? I started with summer leagues and club until my sophomore year of high school. I’ve always followed it and even started back up for a while at the local y last year.

Yeah he is. I think Lanza is underrated as far as overall IU athletes. Have you watched any of Cody Miller’s vlogs? They have some pretty cool insight into the training.

Anyone plan on heading to Indy? We’ve talked about going Saturday to eat and watch some games at a bar.

I heard an interview with Ray Looze where I think he mentioned thinking they had another one coming up.

Nice to see someone else that follows swimming! It’s been cool to see what the program has done these last few years.

Would you call it a fishbowl? Just asking...
