https://www.insidethehall.com/2025/04/03/q-a-point-guard-conor-enright-discusses-commitment-to-iu-basketball/ Here is a Q/A with Enright on ITH, and he discuses his shoulder issue that "should be 100 percent middle or end of July."

According to ITH, "DeVries also receives $25,000 for moving expenses, a $50,000 one-time signing bonus and a $10,000 annual allowance for placing orders for Adidas products. The new IU coach will also receive one courtesy car to be used for the term of employment. Additional benefits include season tickets to IU athletics competitions, season credentials and parking passes for football and men’s basketball games, meals provided at the athletic dining facility, unlimited family use of the Pfau Course, and the driving range, which includes green fees, cart fees and range balls." I wonder if they gave him a car or if he went and got to pick it out. This is the kind of stuff I wonder when I see this stuff, and how much Adidas stuff can you actually get for $10k? How often does he place an order? You have to think they gave him carte blanche at the AH gift store you would think.

I understand the nostalgia part of it, but at 68 and being a Doctor, it is time to retire. Like to give him maybe more than a day or 2 notice, but it is time to get some fresh blood in there. IU has one of the biggest, if not the biggest, medical teaching systems in the country. I believe they have someone who knows what they will be doing to replace him. Fisch has a couple of more years left till he his playing golf during the winter every chance he gets in Florida.

I met the guy and a couple members of his family last year Ubering while the Elite 8 was in Evansville. Nice guy

With the portal, it shouldn't be as painful as those 3, but I wonder if he had to think for a minute if he wanted to stay? Did he not get the NIL that he wants? Did CDD think about it after watching some game tape that he might not want anyone from last year's team? Time for a fresh start.

They wanted a break, so they let the chaos happen. That is something I totally believe because who wants it to make sense to be the day after the tournament ends? They can have enough staff to do the portal and HS recruiting if they wanted to.

https://dbknews.com/2025/03/27/kevin-willard-maryland-mens-basketball-villanova-timeline/ Kevin Willard has to be done in Maryland right? There are reports that he was being booed by Maryland fans in the hotel lobby on the way to the bus leaving for the arena? The guy seems like a slime ball who should be fired just about for the way he has acted the last week almost. Maryland has also added a coaching search to go with the AD search just in case, but I don't think he is the coach at Maryland in the next 72 hours.

I saw all the coke accusations yesterday on the X post of CDD wising IUWBB good luck, and just half of the hate was of Tucker doing blow. LOL I would really hate to see how they would've reacted if he went to Pitt. LOL

There's a joke in there somewhere about Self and Dix. Just where is it?

Maryland has put themselves in a nasty situation there it looks like. The portal really needs to open up on the Tuesday after the championship game. When the season is over, free agency begins. No other sport has their free agency period start during their playoffs. It is asinine

i.e. Rutgers LOL

Like no one ever saw this coming. All it takes is 1 coach to give in for the kid to get that big pay day.

Those replies are a bit ruthless. We must have got a good one with how much vitriol they are showing.

Or spite to Woody.

I would love to see Bryson stay. I wonder if his family would have him stay after what happened during the year with a coaching change.

Being a senior, I am sure that Enright will be fine and will know what he is getting into at the high major level.

My God, did Woody do anything besides coach in the games, go to practice, drink wine, or smoke cigars? I understand you need a good size staff, but we didn't get the results from the money being spent it looks like. The ROI was not good.

This is straight off of Google. Enright is about the size of Yogi, and I believe he was fine in the Big 10. He will be fine as a backup/occasional starter who is familiar with CDV's culture he wants to set. He would be perfectly fine for us.

It's not like he didn't have a month to start picking his stuff up or anything. I thought that Woody has had a house in Bloomington for a while anyway. It's not like he had to sell it to move to another job.

One positive from working in there is that he could catch the players when they came in so he can meet and talk with them. I suppose that is a positive thing? Other than that, Woody should've been out of that office abut the time of the press conference, but they could have been cleaning and sanitizing it to get any residue of mediocrity out of it. It might have even been repainted?

He kinda comes off as a very principled person in a couple of interviews that I have heard with him, so this doesn't surprise me. I suppose we will see if the right decision was made in the long run. FYI, I believe that the correct one was made.

They do have some that Miller Kopp was doing for the Player's Perspective, and he was actually not to bad coming from the athlete perspective of asking questions. I don't expect them to really dig deep like you would with someone who has been doing it for several years like a Bryant Gumbel for example. It is pretty cool to get this side of them though.

This should be good, and we can get more on his philosophies and things.

I heard Todd Leary say after DDV was announced that he thought B Tucker would be better in the new system as opposed to Woodson's system. I would like to see him get pushed to see how well he can do.

They better have a lenient Taco Bell late night drive thru wherever he decides to go. Lol. I really wanted to see if DDV could unlock him, but I guess their meeting didn't turn out that way.
