Nevermind a guy who had charges dropped and his fiancé admitted to lying, but let's ignore video evidence because it's Bob Knight.

It shows she was the aggressor from the beginning. Try to keep up bub.

When did beard? There's actual video evidence of knight choking a 18-22 year old.

People gloss over the fact that his fiance went in to the room where he was sitting grabbed his reading glasses and snapped them. How does she have a bite mark on her arm? Did beard just go up and bite her arm? No she likely jumped on his back and he did it in self defense.

Kudos for giving a state university who not only would be paying him millions/year but trusting him to lead a program that brings in the amount of money that basketball does the benefit of the doubt in vetting a coach over reading a few articles on the internet and making assumptions.

But why?

I'll put you down for a no on Beard as well.

She's probably understanding that biznitches be crazy. Sometimes you gotta pull a Wayne Brady.

Who's got the Old School taxi driver gif?

It's not like beard is going to stroll in to Bloomington and start choking women left and right, Light a fire to the battered women's group meeting house, butt chugging while driving drunk down walnut.

Dolson hiring Beard, of course assuming the other higher end guys said no, would atleast signify that he wants to win and is refusing to bow to social pressures. Hire a coach to coach basketball.

Is the surprise end Mark Turgeon?

He did it during I think the Stevens stuff last time but I know last minute he started posting positive stuff and next day or so the Woodson news broke.

Lloyd McDermott after that whatever midmajor makes the best pitch to Dolson.

That's as big of a reach as Cody Zeller becoming a gm or assistant coach because he's been tweeting more about IU and went to a game.

They want it done sooner than later but you dont go reach for a guy just because he can sign sooner. Thats desperation.

So UCLA who missed on their top targets and reached for Cronin who took them to a final 4 and extended him are going to lower his buyout so they can do it all over again and get someone better? To a west coast school going to the Midwest for away games in a ton that has been said to not give two ***** about college basketball?

Also I don't think Dolson is using the timing of the portal as a determining factor in the hire. It's part of it but it's not a must. Short term vs long term, you don't base this off of the portal timing for this year.

I'd take either over Cronin. Dolson isn't paying 16-10mil just to get Cronin.

Oh I'll discount Cronin any chance I get.

How many times has he been arrested for drinking or had articles written about him for drinking? You all forget that internet sports message boards account for a few % of the fanbase and not everything you read on them is true.

It's mentioned but that's it. Just like his hire at ole Miss, he was mentioned and now it's over with. Very view people actually know he was involved in something, even fewer know he was arrested and charged. Even fewer know the charges were dropped, and very very few have actually read the police report. Sanctimonious. He's not some monster wife beater you all want to make him out to be.

Most fans have no idea what happened with Beard and fewer are as sanctimonious as you think.
