You’re right. Big Ten Title here we come. 1st round knock out of the dance. Better?

Sweet 16 here we come. Lifetime contract. Buckner is a genius and we are all wrong. We are playing checkers and Woodson is playing chess. Passing out some crow, come and get some.

Give the man an extension. Haters gonna hate.

With NIL, the entire roster can leave and give it all to Whoever the new coach is to build in his image. Won’t be a final four contender by any means but it won’t be Crean year 1 either. Then build from there through both high school and portal recruiting.

It doesn’t buy you wins but it can get you talent. Getting a quality coach over quality recruiter is even more important now. Because the talent will come for the NIL.

I’m a firm believer in people can get their lives right and deserve a 2nd chance. But that doesn’t mean taking over a historic blue blood program. Sure he wins. But so do a bunch of other coaches out there. No need to go down the Beard road imo.

Who is on the shortlist is more intriguing. Care to share?

I said it a year ago and I’ll say it again now, IU is better without Reneau. Not because Reneau is a bad player, it’s just it forces us to play a more open style. I loathe the 2 big system.

I hear that. A buddy of mine has peacock and I’ve used it for a couple of years to watch soccer. Then they got some big ten football and basketball, so I still have access to it.

To each their own. But I have no desire to spend my hard earned money on a program that is more than happy to take my money but not actually put a competitive product on the court. A program that’s more concerned about nepotism and politics than winning.

Why are people still going to games? I have been to 1 game since Crean was fired. The product on the court has been bad for almost a decade.

Rumor has it Tyme is a former player. No idea which player. But someone who likes the idea of a IU guy coaching. I wouldn’t sweat him blocking you. He got ran off this site earlier this year. I would ask him point blank questions he couldn’t answer sufficiently. Dude has a clear agenda of only an IU guy and not to win.

Wrong. It was over before it started. I’ve watched 2 games all year. Sounds like I missed another great game. IU basketball is atrocious to watch and I don’t plan on making it a priority. Just keep checking the boards to see if they made a change yet. lol.

I don’t think the coaching name matters. Just get a solid coach who coaches the modern game. Then have a GM and NIL in place to go execute the recruiting. IU will always have a baseline level of talent because of NIL. So get a great college coach.

Yeah but we don’t like the meal.

Guess I’ll be rooting for Auburn this year in the tournament. Highly doubt IU makes it after this atrocity. People wanting the Gonzaga game bc it’s a resume builder for the dance….ooof. Looks like a loss to me.

NIL is the key. Look at football. Michigan and OSU are taking players from SEC schools now that it’s legal to pay. IU has the money to be a very attractive job outside of programs like Kansas, Duke etc. Give a modern coach a $6 mil+ budget and that’s a big incentive to someone working on scraps now.

I thought Brandon Sanderson did a great job finishing the series for Robert Jordon, rip.

Definitely a WOT fan. Once I started the books I couldn’t put them down. I was actually sad when I finished the final book. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend. The show is meh. But I’m trying to enjoy it for what it is. After season 1 I had low expectations. Season 2 was better.

I didn’t watch but looked at the box score, read the Inside the Hall articles, and listened to their podcast. Glad they won, but I’m in the camp of believe it when I see it. (fyi, had to create a new acct because my password would not reset. Poster formerly known as Feathery)
