68Hoosier

Which Pitino are we talking about here. The old one or the young one.

So, I have to think that Dolson has been in the back channel for some time now. You don't get to this point without a plan in my opinion. So, Jerry's post does hold some merit in that. Is the search committee just a cover you back side move to make sure all the I's are doted and T's crossed? I have been seeing all the names posted but are there any that may not be on that list we are missing and would be disappointed in. It seems like the last 3 searches have left me feeling that way. We have a list and then someone from left field pops in.

You are a gentleman and a scholar Pagoda! So according to Jerry we have our man, but we are still hiring a search firm. Interesting!!

I missed the Jerry post and can't find what page it's on. Is there a quick way to search for posts or can someone help a slow reader out?

Sure, hope his confidence and passion translates to the field. Seems like a great person and player for IU.

Good list the way it was laid out.

Boring and winning > Boring and losing for sure.

Exciting news!

Take it back!!!

So, I am off the board for a day, and I miss, Fife and Moye in the building, Email scandals, no firing, Assistants knowing about the interim plan that has not happened. What else did I miss, LOL. Next someone will be saying Brad is on a flight to Bloomington today.

Agreed the coaching has failed him. They have awarded him for too long for poor performance.

I think some of that is on him. Athletes with high motors and drive to excel typically don't respond like he is. He seems very lazy with no real energy. I watched him early on and he has no motor on defense and only stands in the corner waiting to shoot on offense. Is that on the coaching staff, yes for leaving him in the game and not letting him know it is not acceptable. Is it on him to get his mind ready to play yes. So, I see both being the issue here. Some kids will respond to coaching some wont. Some kids don't need a coach to motivate them and some do. In his case I think it is both.

Just enough to keep us in Mediocracy land. Scrape by against the bottom to middle half and get destroyed by the good teams.

Officially - Great news!

Good morning fellow Hoosiers. So, I had high hopes that this weekend would be the start of something new, but with a 1pt OT win now I'm not so sure. It is sad that I was hoping for a loss, but I found myself not watching the game and checking the score to see if this game would help move us in the direction of a new coach. They are just not fun to watch anymore. Even when we had bad teams (first 2 or 3 years under Crean) I was still invested 100%. I have lost my interest after 44 years of being a diehard fan. Please tell me there is hope still that we take sports seriously and that we will do the right thing soon.

I was up late last night getting my torches ready. Where are we all meeting at today to run him out of town, LOL

Then Archie should have never been considered.

Right, we spend more time attacking each other than talking about the current state of the program.

Sooo, are we firing him this weekend or not? It's time to let him go and move on. Put the plan in place and execute it now. Make adjustments along the way but get it right this time.

Okay, I am following along today and feel really old. What is DOX. PS I have been an IU fan since the 81 championship season. I graduated from IU in 92. Just in case you want to DOX me.

I don't have X, so who can share what DD said and got Goode all fired up. What is he saying about Goode now.

The verdict was out last year. he must have appealed to a higher court, LOL

Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Basketball Game. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm Hoosier emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest season since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny F***ing Kaye.

You know some of the players have to be really wondering why they came here for this. I know they have the talent and want to be coached and win games. My guess is they have no voice either and are just following the leader to keep their playing time. Shocked some have not left the team and started portal shopping already.

I think some of the assistant coaches have checked out as well. Why care if the king will not listen to what you have to say.
