He's the trainer you see running around chest bumping the players all the time. Seems like a great guy, but I'm not convinced his training methods help a basketball team given our consistent injuries. That and the fact the Tommy has to try to constantly anticipate when the players will "hit the wall" to satisfy his frenetic need to substitute.

He must be a helluva coach with his location on the bench and interaction with the players during games. This always puzzles me; shouldn't he be sitting next to Tim Garl? Do we need any more mania on the sideline considering we already have Tommy Naismith doing Tae Bo, clap clap, pep chants, and suicides?

I suspect a number of injuries are a result of over training, or something like that.  I recall several years ago listening to an interview with Pete Rose where the interviewer asked him about the increasing number of injuries.  He basically said that today's players (at that time citing Eric Davis) tended to get injured more often because they were so lean and finely tuned.  He cited his own durability and attributed it to having some cushion (fat) on his bones. LOL.  I think there's some truth to this, but it applies to all sports and all teams - every team's fans think they have too many critical injuries (when Mo Creek had his two fluke injuries, Hummel went through two blown out knees as an example).

 

YES!!!

An example of an IU player who never had leg issues due to extensive "knee-cushioning elements":

On a serious note any prayers you can can say would be great. My wifes mammogram didnt come back good and we are going back for further tests tomorrow. Fingers crossed it's ok but you never know. We will fight either way as she is an awfully strong willed woman.

He might've been told to take the tweet down but he was probably trolling us cause it's obvious how desperate we are to get rid of Crean after the season.



100% was told to take them down. 100% don't think he was trolling. Football players aren't smart, but that would be ridiculously dumb to tweet that out for fun. He heard something, now if that person was joking who knows, but I believe he heard something.

Yep. I can't imagine what the AD office started throwing when they saw his tweets lol. I know how quick they were on you. Hopefully they were gentle with him.

I guess the moral of the story is: never underestimate the bravery of a one-eyed former football player. ...too much, too soon? ;)

Belden was on to something. Very intriguing. Fuchs could be source possibly.

Not sure Fuchs would actually know this but he'd be as close to the inside as you can get.

Wasn't Fuchs on the team 2 years ago? I doubt he's connected to that side anymore

Good point, completely forgot about Fuchs. He very well could be the source.
