emailed my Principal this morning..

"If you hear cursing from my room between 12:00 and 2:00 just walk on by..

his response 

"Thanks for letting me know."... 

Mine is a former head basketball coach . He has a Tv set up every year in the teacher lounge .
 

My first year at the school he even came into my room and turned it on the old school TV I still have in my room to show me it still worked and I could watch it ! LOL he gets it!

INDIANAPOLIS — What do Gonzaga coach Mark Few and Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight have in common? 

For starters, they both love to fly fish, and Few revealed that he and Knight have had several discussions about coaching over the years – fishing poles involved. 

"We've had some great discussions....Just about coaching, in general. I had the opportunity to play his teams (when Knight was at Texas Tech) a couple times. I just try to sit and listen."

 

So, are you saying that Mark Few is a necromancer? :D

Just how recent were these discussions?

That would be catastrophic.  Will Wade would be the antithesis of Curt Cignetti.  Unlikable and just not a good guy.   Watch "The Scheme."  He comes across as a complete a$$hole and not a guy IU would support....at all.  No thank you.

Wade and Cignetti actually have very similar demeanors and levels of arrogance and cockiness to them. I love coaches with this kind of attitude. There's a ton of people (outside IU of course) who don't care for Curt Cignetti because of this.

Isn’t it mostly off campus? Assistant could easily handle that for the time being. 
 

Hell transfer portal dudes commit after and over Zoom calls these days . 

Yes. And most if not the majority of the recruiting he'd be doing until his restrictions are lifted would be in the portal which don't typically require you to leave campus.

This guy won the SEC in a very heated booster environment where fans are constantly unhappy. Brian Kelly can’t even do that there with all the resources and support given to him. He continued to win despite sanctions, investigations, and suspensions. Then he took the fall for several other big name coaches doing the same thing (we all know Self was named in that investigation, as was Pitino, as was Duke) because they had the most evidence. The fallout was ugly, he had to wait, and then he rebuilt himself again at McNeese, and had them in the tournament AGAIN in back to back years. The videos of his players and his manager are incredibly likable, and they’ve taken social media by storm. Those types of things speak for themselves in recruiting.

Let’s not forget that Coach Cig was very unlikable before he started winning. You can try to say that he was, but man did he put a target on his back in everyone else’s eyes. He still does, but do you hate it? No, because he’s your coach, you’re winning, and that’s outside noise

I would expect nothing less from a school in Morgan County Indiana . A county that has produced more College Basketball National title winning coaches than anywhere else on earth!!

There is a clip bouncing around of WW at a LSU presser where he sounds like a blend of Cig and Bobby

....Besides, who on this board besides you, obviously, cares anyway!

....I'm not getting into a pi$$n contest with you over anything related to a school that I could care less about.

Yes, Phog Arena is considered of the top 5 in the nation. MSG, Rupp Arena are considered by most if not all ahead of Phog. 

IMO ....the only mecca is Assembly Hall, which was credited as one in the list greats.

 

I'm done,....the end.

GO IU, beat Oregon!

Illinois? No way! :D

I just don't see a world where Bill Self voluntarily leaves the mecca of college basketball to go coach at Indiana University. 

I don't either, and it would be shocking......but Calipari just left a mecca of CBB voluntarily in somewhat similar circumstances. His tenure got stale and he got tired of feeding the beast. Self is doubtful, but not impossible. He wouldn't be my first choice based on his health/age, but he knows how to build a team.

So here's a question; is Self slowing down? How would we feel about Bill Self? Call me crazy, but I'm leery of him compared to the others on that list. Confident in Few, but IU would be a much bigger job than he's used to doing.

Think Stevens and Donovan would be obvious home runs. 

Yikes.

Not sure at all about Self. To me he's like a Toyota with 350,000 miles. Yeah, it's a Toyota but I'd be concerned that it is approaching end of life.
