I don't remember Bo Ryan a lot of highly ranked players yet he was able to win over 70% of his games at Wisconsin and make tournament runs. I don't follow UW closely so I may be remembering that incorrectly but that's how I remember them during his time - a bunch of 3 star and below players just killing it and pwning IU in the process. Maybe the occasional 4*.

He had his share. Dekker at the end was huge in keeping home. But yea, lots of 3 stars with some 4 stars mixed in. What he really excelled at was developing those big men who could score, shoot and pass. Seemed like whenever an all conference one graduated, he had a red shirt frosh or soph ready to step in and start.  
 

But…with that said, the lack of top end talent—which isn’t easy to get up there—probably accounts for part of the reason he never won it all at D1. Those guys would get bounced from the tourney not because they played slow like people whine about, but because they would run into teams with more raw talent. When his front line was Nigel Hayes, Sam Dekker and Kaminsky he had no problem getting to the Final Four, even with average guard play.

Not much need for it today. Patience, on the other hand, is sorely needed.

Since you are saying you know what's going on.  Whose the top target currently?

Anyone can make it to the big leagues but can you stay is the question?

@Home Jersey may have already linked this video - But I like how Adragna breaks out stuff - think he does a good job.

Anyway (imho) a great break down of McCollum:

Confused with “today’s a good day” posts vs “check the flights today” posts if anyone would like to expand for me. To me, a good day is the day of the announcement haha

Does "announcing a coach before your former AA and B1G POY current coach retires" sound like something INDIANA would do? 

I'm sorry, but that always sounded soooo farfetched to me. 

The whole thread is far fetched. No there will not be an announcement or “leak” before Woodson and the new coach are done playing.

I'm not arguing about this. Google it. Literally, multiple publications had him an All American. I was negative 10 years old when Woodson graduated college, I honestly do not care.... take out AA and my point still stands. 

We weren't announcing a coach, ever, before we lost our last game of the season. 

I did Google it. Thus the links with ALL the publications, organizations, etc at the time that did a team.

After catching up on the board this morning, I’m convinced SD is hiring Cig to be the basketball coach—veteran guy, out of left field, a name no one knows, looking for a new challenge…and he would still be better than our last guy! :-)

You still gotta pay your dues, we expect coffee each morning for those in the Top 10.

I don’t think she ever claimed that she knew who it was, she was just steadfast that there was a “process” and it would take time to play out. Which…. As far as we can see she’s been right so far.

Just a typical Friday.  Good news will supposedly break while tracking the same flights that happen every week.

Could you imagine Cig on the sideline dealing with Big Ten Basketball refs?  He would make Dan Hurley look like a choir boy.

We would have the toughest team in the league, but everyone would foul out 5 minutes into the game

Update: two new departures just popped up for Bloomington -> Teterboro. Although both planes are double-booked. Never seen that before and not sure what it means.

Yeah, but if she's claiming there's not flights to look into today, she's claiming she knows something about what is going on with the search

How is the process unfolding? 

It’s unfolding discreetly, but it’s unfolding. Keep in mind that active coaches aren’t having direct discussions with us or anyone else, which is why this is moving much slower than some would prefer.

https://nabc.com/awards/allamerica/divisioni/ can we put this to rest now? 

we weren't firing him before the last game .... which was the ONLY detail that mattered, but regardless, he was an AA.
