Why? This fanbase turned on a coach who made the tournament his first 2 years after missing it 5 straight years. Who did you think IU was going to hire? -

Coach CC sought out IU because they had the easiest schedule in the county with absolutely no expectations. CC could have won 6 games and he would have been extended. You go .500 at IU year one in basketball and you get a 2k fire thread on message boards. Apples to Oranges -

IU has been a middle of the pack team since your birth. Gen Z’ers like yourself who have never seen IU elite who demand blue blood results doesn’t help. -

IU is just another program to 99.5% of prospective high school recruits and portal entrants. Been that way for nearly two decades. -

Same reason why Nebraska football hasn’t been relevant in decades. -impossible to replace legendary coach -absurd/delusional fan expectations -multiple programs have simply closed the gap if not entirely passed us up -

Enright has shown 1000x what Cupps has shown on a collegiate basketball court. stop it -

IU is a mid-tier program in a 2nd rate conference. Like it or not, that’s the perception of IU basketball these days. If only you were born in the 60’s or 70’s… -

The only thing IU has right now is money…but so do 15-20 other schools. When you haven’t been relevant in 30 years but still demand blue blood results, you’re expectations are never going to jive with reality. -

You give him 3-4 years of support, he’ll be really good. IU fans see $10 mil roster and expect a national Title. Doesn’t work that way. Lose the fan base….you’re toast. -

IU is just another program these days. Said it for a year and you guys tried to laugh me off this board. Same was said about Louisville this past offseason. Win this year and the rest will play out…that is unless you try to run coach out after a year. IU fans their own worst enemy. -

Here’s the deal with DeVries…you give him 3-4 years to establish a culture and build a rosters there’s a good chance you never look back. Reality is that IU fans have little patience (especially in today’s climate) and immediate results are not only expected but demanded. DeVries has two years tops to show something or he’ll be the next casualty. It is what it is. Hope he kills it this year…I’m rooting hard am all-in -
Yeah…thumbed their noses at a rule that violates the Sherman Act. I don’t view someone looking to gain a competitive advantage in sports as morally corrupt. To each their own however.

It’s pretty crazy to continue to defend the rules set forth by an organization whose entire model for over a century was ruled to be in violation of anti-trust laws by the highest court in the land.

You realize Preston Murphy was caught up in the same FBI probe correct? If you’re fine with one then you’re fine with the other.

Bad offensive players? Look if you surround Enright with Tucker DeVries, Lamar Wilkerson, Reed Bailey, and then another athletic wing who can get to the basket, Enright is going to have elite assist numbers. That's all you need out of the PG position in that scenario. It's all about fit and roster construction. You can't have 5 chuckers on the court at once...it doesn't work. -

Walker and Comer are the same size. Walker was Comer’s back up at EKU their freshman year. Pretty similar numbers across the board. Porter is an undersized 2 guard that has more turnovers than assists for his career. I would be fine with either Comer or Walker as a backup PG. -

I’ve always suspected Enright to be the starter. He’s DeVries guy who knows and understands his system. I told you this 3 weeks ago. But you’re extrapolating Comer’s role at Evansville to something he wouldn’t have at Indiana. He’s not going to be a green light, option 1 guy. Lance Jones was a high usage, low efficient player from the same conference who transferred to Purdue and accepted a lesser role and became an invaluable piece to that team. -

I’m not sure what your definition of “dominate” is? He averaged 17 a game this last season and was All-MVC. He played on a bad team without much of a supporting cast. Don’t need him to dominate next year given the role he’d be expected to play. But if he can beat his man off the dribble and find shooters for 10-15 minutes a game, I’d take that all day from a backup PG. -

I think his quickness translates. He’s a downhill player and if you can get him to buy into DDV’s system and surround him with shooters you might have something. I watched him at Cathedral for the better part of 4 years and he was the best on the court most nights playing alongside a bunch of D1 talent. -
Getting a "big fish" precludes everything else. That's the problem, not money.

You seen Cignetti's contract? His assistants contracts? IU has fended off both Penn State and Ohio State for Bryant Haines alone in the last couple months.

At this point I'd like to see Todd Abernethy at FAU get a call.
