That would make it easier for you, wouldn't it?  Someone so starved for decent information that he comes to a public message board looking for pieces of....who knows what?  Finds some people who actually do know a little bit but won't mention names publicly or tell stories others would prefer to stay private and it just drives them NUTS!!   So...they post things like you just did and pretend nobody here could possibly know anything about anything, and paints people into a corner.

Something about.....textbook.

You must have a big library. Haven't heard of that one.

You're living it.   I'm not here to fight with you, but it's a very petty thing to assume the worst of someone because he won't spill some things on a public board.   And that's on you, not me.

"Petty" says the guy trying to big time people on a public board.

Dude, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.  You're fishing.  I'm not biting.  And you're throwing out jabs with no merit because you don't know what else to do.  Why not be a normal human being and ask for the same stuff I talked about (on my end) w Chris?   You'd rather pick a fight?   You're that insecure because you don't have intel on something you have to go on the offensive and assume nobody else can possibly be telling the truth?   I'm 100% not trying to "big time" anyone.  A public board does not mean everyone has to share everything or everyone they know.   You've de-railed the thread enough.  Sleep tight.

Your lack of self awareness is truly impressive.

Yes it is. I listened to the interview yesterday and find myself feeling very happy coach Roberts is coming back to IU. BTW - welcome home coach.

[cthomas 6,416]

I think this is the year we finally see a culture shift begin to take place. Coach Roberts is just another piece of that process. The players we will depend on and feature this season are mostly CAM's guys and have some experience to learn from. I really like what I see being built. We need to stay healthy to reach our potential, but this is the most complete team we have had in some time. I expect our shooting to be adequate and we finally have size, skill, and depth in the frontcourt. I think we will get better and better as the season progresses and that by the end of the year no one will look forward to playing our Hoosiers.

I’m excited to see how Mike can help develop our bigs this season, both the seniors and underclass men!

A humorous welcome from --

Dane Fife @CoachDaneFife

Mike and I were teammates at IU and remain close friends to this day. He loves his school and will be a huge asset to the B1G. Mike was known to be a very physical player. In fact, he once fouled out, before the game.

[LamarCheeks 18,778]

I wonder if because of the timing, Mike's split with UNC Greensboro was somewhat acrimonious? Just for fun, I checked the UNCG website and Twitter and the head coach's Twitter -- didn't see any mention whatsoever of Roberts leaving. The guy was there for eight seasons. No, "We wish Mike luck." Or "Mike Roberts is returning to his alma mater." Or "Mike Roberts is leaving the program after eight seasons. We're confident we will find the right replacement. We wish him well." 

I guess I thought that was a bit odd.

He probably ran their social media account too

In that case, mike should have posted we are very sad to lose the best coach to have ever graced the sideline.

An interesting read ...
