Yet other schools with similar large and engaged fanbases have success. You don’t seem to understand the cause of our problem. IU’s fans are a huge asset. The coaches we hire and therefore also the people who hired them are the causes of IUBB’s struggles.

No one calls us that.

He is quirky. I don’t know if he still does the three piece suits. A&M is an odd school. He can coach, but can’t say he seems like a fit here.

Explains why he hates this thread and comes here to lash out at the posters in it.

Yea, IUBB's problems do not include passing on guys like Beard. Frankly, I'm tired of people bringing him up. Hire him and it's an immediate reputation hit to IU and if he has any sort of relapse here it's a total disaster situation for the university and whoever hired him is getting fired. And personally, I've read the reports and I don't really want a guy that gets in that sort of DV situation as our coach.

Less. Brad isn’t on this list maybe because his title (President of BBall Ops) is slightly different vs “GM”? https://frontofficesports.com/highest-paid-nba-general-managers/

Two inflated egos that also aren't very good at coaching lol. What a combo.

Oh they care way more about us than we do them. We’ve been bad a bball, but they know generally speaking everything at IU is better than Purdoo. And deep down inside they wish they went to IU.

I’m only talking about people in the athletic dept. If they work for IU I’m sure rules and/or contracts can be enforced.

Scott should step in and shut down these burner idiots and/or their sources. I bet he could find out who is doing this, there are only so many possible people. Their garbage posts are bad for the program.

The students have gotten their way too many times? What is he even talking about? The students have no say and they also cycle through every four years or so. Doyel is such an idiot.

I’m so beyond sick and tired of this whole staff.

Good find. He’s got his go to statements. Here is what he said when he was interviewing for the Knicks head coach job in 2020 (referencing his first stint with the Knicks): "I did my job when I was here," Woodson said. "We won games.“ https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2897508-mike-woodson-discusses-knicks-tenure-carmelo-anthony-ahead-of-hc-interview

Thanks. Yea that’s all I’ve ever found. I’d love an HD ‘02 Illinois game “Newton’s Law” dunk game, but that is likely very hard to find!

Painter must be licking his pork chops watching film of our team. It's going to be bad.

Yea. For example, getting Mendoza was pretty amazing. The portal was light on QBs this year and UGA, Miami, and a I'm sure few other big programs were involved. He trusted Cig's IUFB though.

It’s not a game, but does anyone have an HD clip of the Marco dunk? All the clips out there are grainy. It was the wildest crowd I’ve ever experienced in sports by a big margin.

Agree. People get worked up about death threats, but 99.99% of them aren't credible, and it's rare to even know who sent them -- could be an IU fan or some outsider just looking to stir things up for laughs. I could send one off right now, it would take 30 seconds. Public figures must get crazy emails 24/7, even I get a few from time to time and I am nobody. No college coach has ever been killed by a fan, no one cares that much, and fan confrontations are extremely rare, because no one cares that much. Unless Woody is walking around Bloomington with security, I don't believe it's anything serious. If it were serious, something as unserious as "booing" wouldn't be on the agenda either. This is most likely Woody making a mountain out of a mole hill to complain and garner sympathy. He just can't accept he sucks and he hates the fans for seeing it.

The rev share contracts have much more structure than NIL, which should help, but I have not seen a rev share contract yet to get the details. The rev share contracts will be publicly available since it's public schools paying out the money. Some journalist just needs to do a request for the contracts (FOIA) and we'll get a look...

I’m new here after many years on another site. This thread is a blast. Lots of good bits of info, some right and some wrong. Many funny posts. I don’t know why a few folks have to ruin it.

Well then let’s have the mods lock or delete this thread.

Aaack!

2011-12 was one of the few really enjoyable seasons in the past 25 years or so. We finally crawled out the rebuild that took three grueling years. Watching the players that got their ***** beat for so long start winning was awesome. Great team.

Yep, I follow what you meant and agree. It just read funny.
