Well I know I would get a little frustrated with fans ripping you and your team all the time. They shouldn't have said it but to me it is no big deal

I don't think Zeller was actually hired. I don't really worry about the players who will be at the bottom of the roster. I don't mind having experience players at the end of the bench and can come in and contribute when needed

How I see is that people's hatred towards Woodson clouds their judgement towards anything to do with those teams. They will hate anybody associated with those teams even when it is warranted like they are doing with Leal and Goode. Both of them are Indiana kids who dreamed of playing for IU and didn't just come here for money. I thought that is what we want from players that play here.

The bitterness is from the comments about senior day two years ago. Talking about how he is part of the toxic environment under Woodson.

If you ask me if our players 11-13 is Goode, Leal and Sisley that makes for a deep team. I just don't understand the bitterness towards Leal and Goode in coming back to the team.

When he started getting playing time the team seemed to play better and won some games

When it comes to the defense I look at the Pacers. I know the NBA game is a little different but the Pacers defense has been horrendous for the last couple of years. They have been in the bottom 7 in defense the last two years. The last 50 games this year the Pacers have been in the top 10 in defense and they had the same players. To me this shows if you put in a good system and the players follow the game plan even bad defensive players can be part of a good defense. The Pacers even had a rim protector and was still a horrible defensive team the last two years

Pretty much like anyone else on here because what we say or believe has no bearing on what happens on the court.

All I know is I am going to trust Devries who has coached for 20 years in the college game over my opinion or any other person on a message board

LOL! I would hope your great rim protector would block more than 0.8 a game. Reed Bailey 18.3, 6.1, 0.8 Also I understand the game of basketball and don't need a bunch of nerds telling me who is a better player.

The guy who averaged 5.1 pts, 4.5 rebs, and 0.8 blocks a game feel the huge whole. LOL!

Watching a lot of basketball I really don't see many players who are just a great individual defenders. I think most of the really good defensive teams are good because of the defensive scheme. It seems to me most of Devries teams have been pretty good on the defensive end.

I would take Bailey over Fredricko or Miller. I don't understand your fixation with mediocre P5 players I will take a more productive mid major over a less productive P5 players any day if the week.

Am I reading correctly that you think the situation that Woodson took over was harder than Davis? LOL! Mike Davis had the hardest job in the history of college basketball for taking over for a fired Bob Knight.
