Agreed... up to the "should Indiana abandon the candy stripes" crap...

yeah, what dakich tweets and what he says are totally different if you hear his tone and delivery.

 

He absolutely wants Alford, but he has said multiple times that Donvan would be a great hire.

 

He also named about 5 names and said they all become better coaches immediately if they are hired by IU.

great covo between dakich and tirico on radio. worth a listen if anybody has the link.

Great convo and Dakich in the same sentence??? Doesn't make sense.

[Uwe Robb]

He also said he offered up his services to be a middle man between IU and BD because they are pretty good friends. He said he had a missed call from Fred Glass yesterday and wondered if that is what it concerned.

 

Call him back Dakich!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indiana doesn't need a coach who becomes a better coach immediately after IU hires them... IU needs a great coach. Period.

I think he was referring to the facilities and recruiting ground.

Anyone else find it funny that every time there is an "Alford to IU is a done deal" rumor there is immediately a "Billy Donovan to IU is a done deal" rumor? Either, Alford is the guy and IU doesn't want the word to officially get out yet so they leak fake Billy D rumors or Alford's camp is spreading rumors and then some top people leak anti-Alford to calm the people down. Basically, I have no idea who we are going to hire but I want it to end now.

1) He is probably full of ****

 

 

2) If he did call him he was probably telling him to keep spreading that Alford myth lol

Using Billy D as the smokescreen is the dumbest thing you could do lol

Understood... but I reject the premise of the statement...

And if it's the facilities and recruiting ground, why wouldn't it make ALL coaches better? Why only "about 5"?

Agree. Instead of using a coach that everyone wants a smoke screen, use more of a controversial / less wanted pick.

It made me wonder what he is actually telling FG? If he is that good of friends with BD wouldn't he be trying to get him hired?

I think he has took a hard stance on Alford because he knows it will get him twitter hits and mentions.

I want to know what he really thinks (gun to his head) because I honestly do think he still cares about the program, and if he does he would be making calls to BD without Glass' say so.

They could have said Donovan was a lock to come to IU and I would still think they were idiots. That was tough to listen to, but maybe I'm jaded because of the good job they do over at Assembly Call.

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

Agree. Instead of using a coach that everyone wants a smoke screen, use more of a controversial / less wanted pick.

Also if he used Billy D as a smokescreen and one got all of the fan bases hopes up to settle for Alford he would be receiving thousands of hate calls/emails. You dont use someone as high as Billy D as a smokescreen period. The Chris Mack thing makes sense but definitely not Billy D. -99.9% chance of that.

I think that is pretty much what he was saying.... I could be wrong because he did only mention a hand full of players, but if you ask me IU makes every coach except Kansas, Duke, UNC, UK coaches a better coach. I am admittedly bias. But we are not getting any of those 4 coaches. So he was basically saying that people spitting off coaching numbers and records why this coach deserves the job and why this one doesn't can be used, but taken with a grain of salt, because a good coach becomes a great coach with facilities, budget and recruiting ground like IU has.

[Walking Boot of Doom]

I didn't get the sense from that post that he didn't want Donovan (unless there are other posts that suggest that) but rather that he wasn't likely to come.

Past posts he's said Donovan isn't the "right guy"

I did say good to great. I think we still need to start out with at least a Good coach.

Sorry Hova, but I gotta do it.......Hickory just said to hang on boys...

Definitely. I guess my point is I feel there are two groups: 1) Alford 2) Donovan. Whenever something gets leaked from either group, the other group yells louder the next day. The hard part is figuring out who is in each group (IU fans or IU admin/well sourced people).
