IU Scott

Figured he would go to Georgia and this is the 3rd IU guy I remember transferring to Providence. Delray Brooks was on providence 87 final 4 team and a few years ago Emmit Holt transferred there.

Woodson doesn't look 70 to me

I am 50 and yes I remember the Sunday morning shows and after losses they were not as much fun

He was one guy I would like IU to get

It just seemed more like a family atmosphere back then. Today it is either a BTN announcer or a national announcer and it just makes the feeling of the game different. Back then it felt like an honor to have your game on national TV and get the perspective of you team on a national scene.

Even the best college football coach of all time brings in a lot of former HC as consultants. He had Steve Sarkisian in to be an offensive consultant when they still had Lane Kiffin as the OC.

To me TJD could be the player to benefit the most from having mike as the new coach TJD has to develop his game a lot before being able to play in the NBA. Who better to develop you than a coach who has been in the NBA for over 30 years.

They can stay on scholarship but the roster spot is not guaranteed. How many basketball players will give up basketball and stay at the school to finish their degree.

I guess I will try to explain why I think having an IU guy is the right thing at this time. First I am not saying this to condemn anyone or blame anyone who might not understand this. I know people who did not grow up in Indiana or is a lot younger than did not see what IU meant when RMK was the coach. I grew up in in Central Indiana in the late 70's and 80's which meant watching IU on our local channel 4 in Indy. Since it was a locally owned TV station it produced its own game which meant IU announcers. Those announcers were former players in John Laskowski and later Ted Kitchell. Back then they played games on Thursday night and Saturday and it was easy to keep up with the schedule. You know when you had to find your 2 and half hours time to watch the game plus the pre game show with RMK. RMK would have about a 12 minute segment to explain what the team was going to do against this opponent and it taught IU fans the game. Not to mention Martha the Mop Lady and the Farm Bureau Insurance commercials. All of this made IU like your own family and would do anything to support that family I know when you are younger that everything seems more important everything was such a big deal. This is what IU basketball felt like to me and that I felt part of it. You also always saw former players at the game and they were welcome back anytime they wanted. After RMK was let go I was all for letting someone else come in and try to bring IU back to where it was use to be. We brought in outside guys who had proven to win at the level they were at. They made deep runs in the tournament so they seemed like great hires but there was always something missing to them. We have done this for 20 years and it never totally panned out and here we are 20 years later trying to get IU back to what we use to be. Everyone say they want IU back to what it once was and to me it is time to bring back a guy who was part of what IU use to be.

Team meals at 4:30

I would love to see them have a IU player reunion at Hoosier Hysteria this year if they are allowed to have it.

I think you will have to have at least one assistant from the college ranks because of recruiting.

The old fart you are talking about went to 2 final fours in 3 years

He makes enough money to live in the nicest place in Indy on Geist Reservoir

Actually it is not even close to what we have done the last 20 years

Had one at 45 and just had my check up when I was 50 and can go another 5 without one. I was happy when I found out they check your prostate by a blood test now than the old way

Welcome home

Maybe if I wanted to go and show all the coaches UCLA has hired since Wooden retired it would not be a lot of big time names

Duke next hire will be a former Duke player

This is Indiana and who cares who those guys would hire. UNC hired Matt Dougherty so they did the same thing. Maybe Iu heard the same thing about beard that UCLA did when they decided not to reach out to Beard.

It is at least 2 hours away

Ostrom was not retained so he is already gone

How clean is Kenny Payne since he coached for Cal

All I have to say is players better come to play and play with some nagging injuries. Woodson in 1980 had back surgery in December and came back in February and still won the big ten player of the year.

Just hope it wasn't Lander visiting UL on unofficial visit
