He made some extra phone calls. And how many games has he won at Houston compared to Indiana in that time frame? lol do you think Kentucky or Kansas would of self reported some extra phone calls in the middle of final four caliber season like our stupid administration did? 

Kentucky has passed on Sampson, Beard and Wade in the time since Sampson was here.  I do also believe the guys dealing drugs on the team had more to do with his termination than the phone calls.

I’m hearing some soft chatter that Dolson cut Shaka from his short list after the search firm uncovered video of him forgetting to thank his waiter for a refill during his Texas tenure. 

Shaka is a good coach but doesn’t fit the mold of what we’ve allegedly heard Dolson is looking for. Dude doesn’t use the portal, like at all, and just in the last week told multiple of his players agents to f*** off.

Just my opinion, but we should have torn up those phone/text records and made sure Kelvin was more careful (use burners man!).

However, the other significant issue with him was what you mention above -- his team culture was out of whack.  And we also had guys like Bud Mackey committed!  In addition to fixing the calls/texts, we also needed the President and AD to talk to Kelvin about cleaning up the team culture to some extent -- we don't need a team of choir boys or anything like that, but what we he had going wasn't going to work.

Oh well, it's well in the past now.

Nothing to do with grades but I watched DeAndre Thomas get a large Mad Mushroom pizza delivered to the library and eat the entire thing by himself in 10 minutes.  Most surprising thing was that Thomas knew where the library was.

Maybe... but it doesn't change the material facts... Wade cheated, then lied to the investigators to try to cover it up and never showed any remorse... certainly demonstrated his questionable character.

Remember after we told on ourselves then self penalized?  It seemed the common theme after that was to not jump on the sword so quickly.  I can remember a lot of arguments saying to deny and make them prove it. 
 

I trust @Demo to some extent on this as he said he was a big fan until this episode. Still, Pearl was considered untouchable for awhile thus his stent at USI and then he once again cut corners at Tennessee and was fired yet many have him on their wish list. Then we have Sampson.  He came in tarnished and kept on cheating. But, after IU he has seemingly been clean. Maybe people can learn. 
 

If we get down to the bottom of the list and if Dolson can have a plan to keep him in line I would be in favor. Would prefer a cheat and a liar (to the NCAA) over other blemishes.

Guess Will Wade is the coach today

Ha.  If you're not in this thread you are not up to date with what's going on with the IUBB coach search!

Because a bunch of people on this board went and tried to get the +5000 odds. Vegas and betting sites are in the business of making $.

Evidently not.

Stevens isn’t coaching IU.

If Vegas isn’t going to take Stevens bet I’ll be the house. My condo still hurting from Ian lol.

I’m here, lower bowl. I haven’t seen him, but I’m looking. Any description on where he’s supposedly sitting?

I’m also in the lower bowl and haven’t seen him.

Sounds like the kind of coach I’d like, lol.

No I do not just heard he was there. Usually lower bowl or behind benches tho. Appreciate the effort!

From the photo posted of him at the SEC tournament it looked to me like he was in the upper level with few folks around him. Seeking anonymity if that’s even possible? It apparently wasn’t in Nashville.

Anybody call the jails or hospitals make sure @JerryYeagley23 isn't there? Figured we hear from him by now.

Grades and APR hit the skids when Sampson was fired and the kids stopped caring/stopped going to class

And also: when the were kicked off the team or transferred. That was an APR killer back then.

Well, that depends on who the guy at the end of the completed search is. It could entirely still be the sign of an incompetent search. 

It's Indiana, the last 25 years say the odds of an incompetent search are greater than 0. The real question would be are the odds of an incompetent IU search closer to 100 than they are 0.

Creans apr score was just as bad lol and he plenty of off the court issues with players too

If you bothered to read the article that I quoted, clearly Crean recovered the APR scores... in his first 3 years, his scores were 975, 1000 and 1000. I am not saying that Crean had no off-court issues, but he wasn't nearly as bad as Sampson... and everyone has moved on.

So, back on topic, rest assured that Indiana won't hire Sampson, Beard or Wade this time around... and probably never will.

Many were told to zip it. He said news would come after our season. Sounds like he is keeping the zip ask and his timing or candidate must not have changed. All those clamoring for him to chime are basically like kids asking “are we there yet?”

Guess Will Wade is the coach today 

Hope it stays that way.
