Literally do not care at all that that’s the wrong call. We deserve multiple makeup calls.

1 of 6 from the charity stripe is pathetic

When my boss fired me a few months back first thing I did was ask who he was hiring to replace me. He gave me his whole list of candidates.

More importantly, he's producing that at Creighton. Think what he could do at a program with the resources of Indiana.

The potential Lakewood Church to IU pipeline would send shockwaves through the college basketball world.

Buddy of mine well-connected in Texas just called me to tell me he's hearing Joel Osteen is getting some consideration from Indiana. Could be nothing. Just thought I'd pass that along.

Welcome. Now, tell me all your thoughts on God.

What would this board do if Woody got up and went on a religious rant?

It's not gonna go how he thinks it will if they let him speak. We don't care about his story. We care about winning.

Man I was busy earlier and missed the whole religion debate, can we get that fired back up again? That looked like fun

I have been summoned

Everyone keeps mentioning leaks and we've got a picture of a dam with a giant crack ... but I don't see the leaks on this board! What is going on?? lol I come here to (hopefully) find some info, not get edged into oblivion

I don't. 1) most guys entering the portal on day one are not on tournament teams so why focus on them? 2) hiring the right coach is more important than getting one or two players that we otherwise would have a harder time acquiring

Don’t forget we also hired Archie right before Woodson.

A part of me desperately wanted IsaacTor to be telling the truth just so the John Groce and Mark Turgeon discourse would be put to an end

Man of course today was a busy Monday so I had to miss all the action as it occurred live. I’d just like to refer to my post from this morning. I called this nonsense before it happened. lol

I love the message boards but it’s really funny that some folks think that athletic department personnel are strategizing around how best to throw us off the scent lol

I wouldn’t put too much stock in this fella. Last year he spread a lot of rumors regarding Woodson about things happening behind the scenes. He also made up rumors about Dolson backchanneling to try to hire Bruce Pearl. After he got exposed for his BS he made his account private for a while and when he came back all his tweets were deleted.

Good morning BTB, March 2nd came and went with no Fox Sports announcement. I move to officially ban @IsaacTor. I’m only half joking.

I know. I’m just being silly. No worries.

You of all people need to be careful not to troll, many of us will fall for it hahaha

I get what you're insinuating, but Stevens and Woodson are not on the same plane. Not even remotely. Stevens is a basketball wizard. This has been known for a long time. He's also extremely diligent and studies his opponents well. Woodson is not those things. He's an NBA lifer who is loved by his players but has primarily survived in his career on vibes. There's no doubt that Stevens could come to Indiana and immediately win big. Might take one season to re-adjust but even then, the floor is probably something like this season, though I doubt with nearly as many blowout losses.

The fact that he thinks 21 wins is a good benchmark is alarming because 40 years ago that WAS the standard of a good season (successful coaches/programs were often measured by the number of 20+ win seasons over a period of time). But scheduling has changed since then, teams play more games now than ever, and conference tournaments give even more opportunities to win games. The 20-win benchmark hasn't been relevant in about 25 years. Just another data point to demonstrate how out of touch he really is.

Alrighty let’s get the dub against Oregon Tuesday night to complete the successful road trip. If we play like we did tonight we’ve got a real shot!
