68Hoosier

Again, not for or against him. It looks like for the last 8 years he has had 1 really good season and one trip to the sweet 16th. Just nothing here that jumps off the page at me as the best coach for us.

Not sure he understands momentum either. He always seems to kill us when we get it going.

Wasn't saying anything good or bad. Just nothing stood out as OMG he is great.

Nothing here stands out good or bad IMO. Not sure he checks all the boxes but has had a decent run at Iowa State. His conference records are not great though outside of this year.

Just for fun, let's say Pearl is off the table. Is Dusty next on the list. To me these two are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Who would be someone in the middle that still checks all the boxes.

So, before the final 4 this year.

But can I hit my Free throws....

Ok, so now i am just trying to help my post count.

I am still doing my part, LOL

I am helping do my part.

Funny how I never even thought about that back in the day. Looking back how did they never get in trouble...

I can remember listing to the senior night speeches and several of the guys mentioned free food and haircuts back then but never thought anything of it.

I think JF87 hit the nail on the head. We only got what was told in stories back then. Ultimately, we wanted to believe he was all good but winning has a way of doing that.

This^^^^^

I was just saying the same thing. He was within the rules, but he had his own issues that would not be tolerated by most.

Hit send to quick. Were we ok with his personal issues since he was winning! Isn't that the same thing.

Question, do we feel Knight didn't skirt the rules as a coach? I loved the guy, but he did have his issues. He was within the lines of the NCAA but he did have his own issues.

It feels like that now when I watch our team..... Just saying.

Perfect, what's his name so we can get him signed up LOL.

Oh, I wouldn't say we don't have a brand. We have a huge following with great facilities. Even after the past 25 years of not great showings. We have the backing for a top NIL program on top of all that so I don't understand how we cannot get it right. I talked to several of the players during Hoosier Hysteria this year. Was in the locker room with them as they were getting ready and there just was no emotion or feel as if they were at a top program like IU. Just looked like a group of high school guy hanging out. Now I know it was not before a game, but it didn't feel big time.

Right... How do they have coaching changes and not miss a beat. To me it goes beyond coaching at IU. One down year is one thing, but we have not been a good consistent program in some time now.

He used the IUS mascot, LOL.

I agree, I don't care what brand is on my shirt other than IU. You can only put IU or Indiana on a shirt so many ways so I doubt that Nike will find a new way to spell IU or make it look better to the fan base. jmo

can't touch them I guess.

Oh my
