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.

I will be looking for that on YouTube. They have quite a few on there, and the ones with Cignetti are really good.

I expect something like this in a few months about his life in Bloomington. It says that he lived in a hotel for 3 months till they sold their house and got their new one, so they might be doing the same now. And it looks like their daughter will be a sophomore and plays volleyball and basketball. Seems like a down to Earth guy.

A lot has been said about WVU's reaction to the hire, but Iowa thought they had him. One guy on this podcast said they had the odds at -400 that he was going to Iowa, and they are blaming it basically on the lack of NIL they have there. I would think that played a part in it along with the tradition and amount of support he will get to have in Bloomington as opposed to Iowa City. They are looking to McCollum, and if they don't get him, I wonder who they can get.

LOL, I just came across your post about it. Been a busy morning. So I second this abbreviation.

How about CDV?
