Wouldn't lay it all at the feet of the defense. Agree to disagree. I saw a team that couldn't care less about the defensive side of the ball. So many easy baskets. Quote

Walking Boot of Doom Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Can you expand on those "shady areas"?I don't think this is purely on Alford and that whoever was leading UCLA at the time would have been presented with the opportunity, but I suspect the Ball brothers came with a price tag. LaVar Ball is already making statements that his sons will sign for a combined $1 billion, and he's already promoting their personal brand, Big Baller Brand. For me, there are a lot of red flags there. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave, Yogi's Picnic Basket, Chris Nieman and 2 others 5 Quote

If true---this tells me IU already has someone in mind. As an older IU alum--even if it is a homerun hire--- I hope IU at least interviews or talks to key former players to show respect and receive input. Part of smart planning to keep our fanbase united.

Stuhoo Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 It seems to me that IU absolutely has someone in place, and possibly a less experienced but young and local guy like Holtmann or Fife in line as a fallback. rebelhoosier848891, Class of '66 Old Fart, Yogi's Picnic Basket and 2 others 5 Quote
ap2345 Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Mile also said this about Alford as well "Alford sewed the seeds of discontent as a player at IU. Fans and friends of the program at that time have not forgotten. Too bad for Steve, is that not only have they not forgotten, but now those fans and friends have gone on to become trustees, now former trustees, and boosters with considerable influence. Once an IU fan. Always an IU fan. Unfortunately for Steve, some of those fans are now in a position to sway some important heads. Once again.... follow the money." thebigweave, Class of '66 Old Fart, BtownBanner6 and 3 others 6 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Is it still too soon after the firing or should we begin to feel some relief that we haven't yet had any player transfer announcements? Is there more loyalty to IU than we may have thought with some of the players and they will wait to see just who the next coach is? And finally, what was the point of FG going down and shaking FCTC's hand immediately prior to the NIT game? In retrospect, it seems very very odd. NCHoosier 1 Quote

Have anu players announced from Illinois or NC State Quote
