LamarCheeks Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 As everybody goes batshit crazy about Billy Donovan, remember this: Bob Knight was in B-town for 29 years and to this day, many can't get over the fact that he's no longer there. Don't let yourselves get too worked up over someone who was NEVER there. What I mean is this: If, say on Monday afternoon, Fred Glass trots Archie Miller or Chris Mack (if Xavier is out of the NCAAs) or Chris Holtmann (if Butler is out) and says "This is our new head coach," don't be too friggin' disappointed. And give the guy a chance. After years of "Yeah, but he's not Bob Knight," for a guy who was here for 29 years, I'd hate to hear "Yeah, but he's not Billy Donovan," for a guy who was never here after everybody fell for some cornball rumor that was completely cooked up. Not saying it's fake news or that it won't happen, but prepare yourselves for the fact that it might be and that BD was never a serious candidate in the first place.

Aaron Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Unfortunately Albers in the least credible media person ever. He's more credible than all this anonymous stuff but barely. According to him Kris Wilkes committed to IU and Yogi left after his junior year. He's the most credible thing I've seen today but not by much. I almost trust Jadlow more and that is saying something. With our luck and things always going opposite of what Albers said chances are Donovan was not here. The other media will not acknowledge anything he posts which says a lot. Kepner and Tom White 2 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Wow. This could be happening. Honestly the timing matches up. Albers is a sneaky dude and Jumps sources but he gets pretty darn good scoop. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER, lillurk and IUsafety 3 Quote

LamarCheeks Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Re: Albers tweet. "Per sources" could mean anything. His "source" could be Todd Jadlow's tweet for all we know. Or that IU fan guy who keeps tweeting about Donovan and IU. ALASKA HOOSIER, thebigweave and Kepner 3 Quote
Dizz Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) JMV just read Albers on the radio. He'll lose all cred if he's wrong. Edited March 24, 2017 by Dizz Cred Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app maybe I missed it but can tell me how it is "confirmed" he was at practice. That quote could have been from another day, over the phone, etc. Is there a video of his post-practice interview somewhere? I don't think you're wrong as I don't believe BD is in Bloomington but I'm just wondering Quote
