Can you imagine being judged for the rest of your life for minor things you did or said at 20 years old? Sheesh. Let's get past the tribalism.

We hired Coach Ya. Those people are just whiners that aren't getting their way.

Jerome Hunter hit 3 big 3’s tonight for Xavier. He was a freshman with Romeo. He’s still playing in the tournament, Archie and Woody aren’t. He outlasted 2 coaches and an nba career!

Prior to his freshman year and the first major health issue, he was thought of as more athletic and a better shooter. He was challenging Romeo in practice. The Romeo that averaged 17ppg that season. Health issues and major injuries reduced what he could have been as a player unfortunately.

So it would be a major, major step down in salary right? I mean I can get fired from my job and get another low paying job in a related field too, but it would suck and is not my choice. What they couldn't do is get another peer level job in the same field after failing. Their choices are severely diminished.

How many as a head college basketball coach?

Yeah, Romeo never even had a chance in the NBA. The brief moments he had some consistency, he's was a pretty good all-around player. I'm worried JHS suffers the same fate. I know folks like to pick on Clif Marshall for injuries but even in the NBA Hoosiers can't stay healthy. Eric Gordon, Victor Oladipo, OG Anunoby both have had time where they were all-stars and looking like more only to be derailed by injuries, too. Thomas Bryant was having his best season and looking like a regular starter... boom ACL tear. We are cursed.

Gif game is strong in here today.

And often he did because the offense took a long time to develop. He was waiting for a screen, cut, or both.

They are gone in 2030 with the newly adjusted exit fee and GOR. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/acc-settles-florida-state-clemson-lawsuits-revised-revenue-distribution-lowered-exit-fee-among-key-details/

Speak for yourself. I'm the Taylor Swift of my household (that's good right?!)

When Devries was announced that's exactly what I thought. I hold Chris007, a person who I don't even know exists in the real world, accountable for grossly misleading me in a college basketball coaching search and my life is ruined. Thanks for nothing Chris007! I'll send you my therapy bills and they will be extensive! I never believed the BS hype myself, but nothing was done maliciously IMO. In fact Chris and some others seemed to really be having a lot fun with the whole experience and circus atmosphere this fanbase can provide. I don't know about true/false whatever but it's just whatever. This is the internet for God's sake.

He gets a statue sitting next to Herman B. Wells.

I think we should start it and post my most outlandish reasons he should be fired. Like his son isn't even wearing a suit and the coach has a crooked IU lapel pin which just shows the disrespect to the university. Has the man even ever been to Nick's? Fireable offense.

Some big cheesy smiles, a lot of excitement and happiness. That's different than Archie Miller at least!

I agree but also we'll never know. I think the time to get wrapped in conspiracies and smoke screens is over. Occam's Razor probably applies here like everywhere, anyway. Regardless, Coach Devries is here. Now, let's win some basketball games.

If me and CSP agree, Indiana basketball is heading in the right direction.

There are some people throwing a fit because it wasn't their preferred guy or they believe Scott Dolson should be able to pull the jedi mind trick on coaches and get them to accept the Indiana job. There are a couple folks who wanted Chris Beard so bad because they view it as a part of the culture war. They need to be on the winning side or else. These are not people that will discuss and argue in good faith. They are taking the whole situation very personally. I have my doubts on Coach Devries, but you bet as an Indiana alum and fan I'll back him. We don't have a coach with no experience (Mike Davis), or who will repeatedly break rules (Sampson), or who has strange personality quirks and swings (Tom Crean), or one without a personality that can't handle the big stage (Archie Miller) or one who was given the job because he played for Bob Knight (Mike Woodson.) We have a normal, heavily experienced, grinder of a college basketball coach with a son who can shoot the lights out. That sounds like the start of something good related to Indiana basketball to me. Let the man cook before we decide if the meal is any good.

Yeah this isn't a flashy hire that's going to win the press conference, but this guy is a basketball coach who will put in the work. I've said it a few times here: I don't care about winning the press conference, I want someone to win basketball games. We don't need to win the off-season, we need to win games. I think Devries can do that, and I'll get behind him.

Basically everyone on the roster with eligibility if they'll let him coach them. Devries would need to bring some guys in to fill holes, but the core of Indiana's current roster can be a winning one.

Archie wanted to, including a PG recruit, but the admin and maybe APR scores made it a nogo. It was much more difficult before the open transfer portal.

Well Btown Banners is more than just one post. Who knew?!

He also has people that have made up their minds before he coaches a game that he will be a complete failure. That's fandom.

I think Tom Crean would have been really good at Indiana with NIL and the transfer portal, too.
