I_love_you_guys.mp4 This is the scene I thought about when I heard he died. RIP Coach Dale

Ink on paper, Brad. Make me a believer, but until then, I am a skeptic.

Osterman's Twitter doesn't have anything about a BBall coach, but they did sign the Olympic winning swimmer out of Carmel. So there's that.

Ok, it is 3:15pm CST here in Evansville, and I don't see any news on ESPN or Inside The Hall on a new IU coach being hired, but I do see news on Jimmy Johnson retiring from the FOX pre-game show after 31 years. I guess they haven't received the MEMO yet.

Yeah, he is the AD at his alma mater of St. Bonaventure. You are about 6 months from that being pretty convincing. Lol

And they set up her your for it to coincide with the IU West coast trip. Ah, do you think Woodson would recognize him? Lol

I believe Crean was trying to get them back on the schedule when he was here with a home and home with a game in Louisville and one in Indy in between, and Cal wanted nothing to do with home games because he wanted a game in Indy for recruiting. IIRC

The joke at the time it was announced was that Calipari will not be around when the game is in Bloomington. LOL I didn't think it would come true in just a few months after the announcement.

And if Woodson really did go and ask about his job, and if it caused this whole thing of announcing his retirement a few before the season ended instead of at the end, he could've caused a lot of problems of coaches we could get getting paid like May to stay before we could possibly talk to them. Am I over thinking that? Did that screw Dolson on his search?

Thinking, not if I have anything to say about it.

I'm not your friend, guy.

Personally, I am not a fan of Scott Drew which mostly because of the Perea incident 10 years ago. His threatening to deport the guy if he didn't go to Baylor really rubbed me the wrong way. I know that he is big on the religious part in the program which is fine, but the whole threatening deportation was really low.

And he took advantage of that win by, how can I put this, not doing things a college basketball coach shouldn't be doing with coeds on campus when his wife is in Boston. They haven't been able to recover from that either while he could've been able to really build off of that.

In order for Crean to get fired after those first 2 seasons if he didn't get Zeller, the next three years would have to be pretty much in the middle of the Big Ten and not getting better. One thing that Crean did have going for him is the development a lot of players showed like Oladipo. The player has to have that fire to get better, and the coach needs to throw gas on that fire. Crean had that going for him that the next coach needs.

I had been for about 5 years, and I get a kick sometimes about what gets under people's skin on some stuff.
