I dislike the manner in which Dan Dakich handles many of his issues. But, I tend to generally agree with the core takes of DD.  
 

It’s a polarizing world out there and cancel culture is a legitimate threat. 
 

I can fully understand DD’s frustration with Indiana University and it’s not because he wasn’t hired as its coach. Or that they didn’t hire Alford. It’s a deeper topic. Dan is happy to dig himself the hole though, and if that hole gets deep enough to bury him, I guess, so be it. He could/should go about these issues in a different way.

I haven't listened to Dakich for some time now, but in the past I really enjoyed it. When he first started, the show was light, insightful, and generally good entertainment. His comments about IU, while tough to hear, were often painfully accurate. As he got more and more disrespectful to his callers, I listened less and less. The great thing about radio is that you can always listen to something else. Those of us who have listened to Dakich for a long time already know the progression. I see no positive point in Doyle's article. It felt more like a personal agenda driven rant.

Counter: no one knows an idiot like an idiot.

That'd be the best argument really. Garbage is an expert in garbage... But the garbage writing the hit piece believes he's a Bugatti and not a broken down Pinto. At worst, I'd say Dakich is a 78 Firebird that you're cousin from Alabama keeps telling you he will get running soon.

The damdest thing about Dakich bemoaning cancel culture is that he blocks anybody that disagrees with him on Twitter.  He's very much a "do as I say, not as I do" type of person.  (As most people who complain about cancel culture tend to be)
He's a massive hypocrite

Can’t disagree with this at all, besides the spelling of damnedest (just goofing). Like I say, I generally agree with his takes, but his treatment of anyone not his friend is pretty much pitiful.

My phone tried to correct it to document lol.  I guess I've never tried to spell out damndest before but that's the word my brain was telling me to use

So true!
If Chris Gunn wants to chime in, he is far better off doing so as an anonymous message board poster.  
 
;)        :)

Kevin Durant style?

Agree, but I think he has an axe to grind and isn’t afraid of the repercussions. I can respect that, especially in defense of his son.

But, social media in general for players and especially players families, you better have thick skin. I’d say just ignore it all together if you can. I’m always nervous for active social media parents.

Not gonna lie, pretty surprised Chris Gunn would wade into this. I agree with him, but not sure anything good comes from him getting into it. 

Didn’t he go after Doyel around Mr. Basketball voting time or am I making that up?
