Been lurking around since 2013, but haven't posted much.

And my point would be that being asked to retire is being fired, which is why he's eligible for a buyout.   I'm just laughing about the retirement talk.  It's so funny, especially with him saying on national TV "maybe I'm going to soon" 

Yes he is pushing his narrative. He was told to retire

A St. John's/Houston national title game would be epic (assuming IU is eliminated of course)

Houston 19-1 in Big 12 and undefeated on the road...Much like Wade's record of 40-2 in conference...incredible. Kansas has been replaced as the premier basketball school in the Big 12...with limited NIL resources in comparison.

There is no basketball universe where he makes sense. 

Except that Indiana is the current Indiana and not the historical Indiana. IOW, Indiana is masterful at making nonsensical basketball coach hires.

Indiana - BIG fish

Whales are mammals. Just so we're all clear here. So more like a marlin or shark or?

Dusty and Danny Show on SiriusXm next segment: "Clemson fans you do not have to worry. Your coach is not going anywhere"....should be interesting

If we have our guy, why are we even interviewing anyone else?

Why not. We need to fill the time. The search firm has to do something. Maybe we don't want people to know we have our guy

What about Becky Hammon?

Sampson is 34-4 in the B12 since Houston came over. Many doubted Houston being an American conference member. His run the last 7-8 seasons at Houston is remarkable.

Smokescreens. Get the boys talking about Amish girls who can ride, and look how we all come together as one big happy family

Amish girls are like mopeds. They're fun to ride, but you would hate to have your friends see you on one.

If I recall his daughter sited one tweet threat sent to her. The tweet stated. "Please tell you dad to quit."

 

Chilling!

Woodson allegedly saying the threats were the reason that he was forced to retire at this point, a month after the announcement came out, and after having said last week that he may have left "too soon" reeks of spin.

If these now reported "threats" were real, they need to be investigated and the person responsible held accountable. But it all seems inconsistent and way to convenient at this point.

The bottom line is that he was fired because he can't/won't do the job... and was given the courtesy by Dolson to "spin" the dismissal into a "retirement" and now he's trying to walk back the retirement never was.

He sadly is better than woodson. Won 7 by games with basically no nil.

Curious if there are any flight details to connect this shaka interview that then support the other flight assumptions to boston and miami

There has been a ton of flight details connecting those but we just don't talk about them very much

[Rusty Shackleford]

Oh boy. Looks like Shaka is today's main character. I can't wait to see where the day takes us. Cheers, everyone and let's beat Oregon!

He’s a way better main character than we’ve had the past few days…. I’d be a bit hesitant from his flameout at Texas, but he’s done well at Marquette since then.

I fail to see how he's a better candidate than Greg McDermott, I also don't think his style fits us overly well, compared to GM. 

with that said, he'd be a strong hire, just like Greg McD, IMO.
