Without a doubt it's true... Reggie one of the all-time sh*t talkers.

Don't know about his coaching or recruiting prowess, but we'd own the pre-game ritual.

Not the Chocolate Moose anymore :(

Is that still moving to a new building?

Ummm, guys... DC is a fantastic, world class place to live and raise a family, especially with lots of money. And bball head coaches make lots and lots and lots of money. Have you guys been to Bethesda, Arlington or Chevy Chase?

 

There's a reason that NBA cities like NYC and LA get free agents instead of Milwaukee and OKC, and cost of living is irrelevant.

 

IU is a better basketball job than Gtown, but it's not because of D.C.

 

We have Mother Bears. Your argument is invalid.

Heard a rumor that the reason Btowninsider went dark on 247 was because his mom caught him staying up too late and his grades were slipping. Can't believe that nobody on 247 could figure out that he was 12. Nobody from New Albany is that connected to Btown@

I can think of somebody pretty darn connected from NA 

The Cook Hall legacy court is co-named after the family.

I tend to agree with previous posts that if we don't know by the middle of next week, it's got to be someone still coaching. There's too much of an urgency to start recruiting and get everything settled down for it to be something else.

Donovan obviously the dream pick, but I feel like getting Bennett and convincing Fife to come here as assistant would be the best possible outcome. Bennett's playstyle with Fife will make the old people happy. While all the wins they'll be getting will make everyone else happy. If he can get elite guys final fours and maybe championships will come. Bo Ryan has a similar playstyle, only had elite players for 1 year and he won big ten regular season, tournament, and went to national championship game.

This is actually well put. Once Ryan got Dekker and some high 3 star low 4 star even type kids his program took off. Bennett just got a very good class last year but you cant go off of 1 year to judge him off that. If he was getting a few high stars sprinkled with a 5 star then he would be great here. Fife at his side is a sure thing to make coaching a strength against pretty much anyone we would face. Michael Porter put UVA in his top 4 too after backing out from UW. Obviously he is going to Mizzou but telling he added them to his list.

Wouldn't this be a kick in the stones

Gotlieb said that a week ago. Not happening. If they were only willing to get a coach for 2.5 million 4 is probably the highest they would go now. UCLA makes a lot of money and has the UA deal coming next year but 4 years ago Alford was the highest guy they really went after. Something about them doesnt attract the coaching guys that should be interested.

Yeah I think so. I just checked out their Twitter and it looks like they're building the new one now.

If it's done in time for Billy's visit to Btown Fred can slip him the contract papers while he's sidetracked by a nice banana split.

So you are saying we need to do a better job generating our own drama?

Yea I would doubt that it happens. Things will get interesting the next 2 days. One of Mack and S. Miller will be available after tonight with Alford possibly tomorrow (Let's hope he leads them to a W over pUKe)

My wife and I managed to get there for their last day. Was shocked I was actually bummed a little I was not exactly a regular.

Earl Watson is a name that is thrown around right now IF Alford left. If people think UCLA can wait till Watson is done why cant we be patient and wait an extra week for Billy D?

Mason is sooooooo quick

[MoyeNeeded 3,073]

Correct. You won't find another forum that would have let it go on this long. That's usually a big no-no on any website. Aside from a few people I don't think anyone else here wants to continuously read about a couple guys over there who are feeding people a load of crap and watching them eat it up.

If you are speaking of my post referring to Insider, my apologies sir. I didn't join this forum last week. I, along with you have weeded thru the 400+ speculative, rumored and somewhat just plain ignorant posts of individuals claiming some inkling of knowledge on this hire. I was only making jest of some of those claims from that forum that found its way to this site. We are all excited about what this week has brought to our fanbase. A little humor (in good taste) goes a long way to lighten the mood. I would go on to surmise that 99% of the insider info is no better than a weatherman' rain forcast. Guestimations at best. Lighten up a little, pour a stiff one and enjoy the ride. It's been a long time since we've had this much fun.

I saw how long Alabama fans had to wait for their coaching search and frankly I don't think this board could survive that long.

I hope we wait. It's funny searching "Donovan Indiana" on twitter and reading the OKC fans. They really believe there's no chance Billy D leaves. They aren't beating the Warriors anytime soon, and Russ will bolt soon. No reason to stay there

I hope whoever was on here saying Defense is boring and Offense wins games is watching these games. So far every game, and almost every game last round, has come down to a few key defensive stops to win the games. And the scores are not 96-90. This has been great basketball to watch imo.
