Who needs an actual human interim coach? Borrow an orange volleyball, paint a face on it, and call it Coach Wilson. It can sit on a chair at one end of the bench. Don't use timeouts other than the TV breaks, during which the team can play rock/paper/scissors to see who subs in. If a guy wins two out of three from a player who was in the game, he replaces that player. The player who scored the most recent points is exempt and gets to stay in but must come out at the next stoppage of play (replacement's name drawn from a hat). In the event the other team uses a timeout of their own, the IU players play knockout, with the winner getting to jack up a contested three on the next possession.

It couldn't be any worse than what we have.

LOL  Great first post

I liken this to a weather forecast.  There's a 50% chance of storms Friday night but don't take an umbrella because you REALLY don't know if it's going to rain or not.  None of these weathermen really know anything.   No one knows.  It's just speculation.  I've been outside several times today and doesn't look like rain to me. 

I don't think anyone here has said any rumor or info floating around is concrete, but sounds like a good chance of rain.  I see no harm in that.

If this is any indication of your future posting style, please continue to stay with us. I'm cracking up

Maybe Billy D's people made the initial contact seeing the mess our program is in.   (Sorry for ending the sentence with a preposition Mrs. Nelson!)

I may have missed it but what was the Hanner and Holt discussion about. Janitor isn't one of them right?

If IU doesn't fire Tom Crean, hopefully they mutually part ways with him.

The discussion was Holt not being the driver that actually hit DD.

Janitor is actually Riley Crean who isn't a big fan of Tom Crean.

This is so ******* stupid I literally made a stink face reading this post. It doesn't happen anywhere? Dude please tell why half the jobs that open are filled that day or soon after. Think they say hey your gone immediately after picking up phone and calling someone saying hey here is the terms wanna be our coach? Guy says yes on spot barely talks to his family or anything he is so excited to be called spur of the moment and offered a job specially at IU hahahahahahaha. You may wanna think it doesn't happen, but I promise you it does. Maybe not in every single instance, but trust me. Pro sports do it all the time and college teams as well. Reaching out is not offering the damn job. This post sucks sorry for the honesty, but the boosters that have gone to Fred are most likely keeping their mouth shuts. I highly doubt you are one of the ones making a highly significant donation for Creans buyout. That has been talked about I promise ya and since your not you probably dont know much other than your beachfront view in AH.

Damn, kill joy.  These rumors have made my happier than I have been since we beat UNC.  Why'd you have to go and try to burst my bubble?

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

If you can guess I am sick of all the additional threads about this isn't happening. Honestly sho cares if it is or not. People do have insiders believe it or not and even without them this is a forum board. To try to tell us were all stupid for having conversations than sorry but that is exactly what this site is for.

That is simply not true. Show me an instance of this happening. Does Glass have a list of replacements? Of course. Could he be doing research on those replacements? Absolutely. But he is not calling Billy D’s agent before Crean has been fired.

Disagree.  Would you quit your job before having another lined up? Of course not.  Yes, as others have said, they probably have been using back channels on this.

Even though I know this was a joke, the thought of that made me nearly lose my lunch. No offense to him as a person sure he's a great kid but he can't play ball. No good!

Nice article! Mack and Miller mentioned as main attractions though.

Could be worse. Undoubtedly better than Crean, either of them.

Still riding this Donovan hope though.

Discussions happen all the time and can happen at any point in the season what we don't know is what gets said in those discussions when they are behind closed doors and there are those who say they have inside information but how do they know what they are getting told is true or not. Anything said can be taken with a grain of salt because they want to hear from someone who has the authority to say it and not an unreliable source.
