Apologize for my naïveté, but who is Shams??

Here's your answer...

There is no real equivalent to Shams in college basketball so it’s hard to understand his role unless you follow the NBA. He (and before him, a guy named Woj) broke every major NBA story. Like, every single one. NBA fans don’t believe something is true until Shams says it. He’s not like a Goodman type—if Shams says it’s someone, it’s a done deal. 
 

If it’s going to be an NBA guy, Shams will be the source. When people wonder why stuff hasn’t leaked from the Celtics side, they’re talking about Shams. 
 

(Side note: Woj retired to become the GM at St. Bonaventure, where he’s an alum.)

Naw... Kathy's posts are nowhere near as long and rambling as NGW's were... don't think Kathy and NGW are/were the same person...

Equally annoying, but agreed not the same annoying person.

Ha. Yeah. Some people are in it for the reaction. I don’t care. Just funny how people react to their click baiting.

What are we interpreting here? Is it that Ray Liotta’s dead and the IU hire will be the death of the program?

How’d we go from Tony showing us Shams to GP giving the :(?

Because it’s walk back time , no more excuses if it was a “home-run / big Wink” it would/ should be announced today or tomorrow . 
 

im sure the other “insiders” will follow suit . The only logically play is for Dolson to get on the phone the next 3 days before the start of the tourney and get verbal / handshake deal done with Will Wade if we’re to save this program . Otherwise (and what will most likely happen) we are just gonna take a shot at Ben McCollum . Maybe it works , maybe it doesn’t . Welcome to another age of uncertainty that is Indiana University basketball 

[Papacap 1,749]

What’s funny is, if we end up with Brownell or McCollum, the thought that Dolson kept things quiet goes right out the window since that’s who the “regional” sports people have been saying. Which is why I don’t think it will be either of them.

Each time we've hired a coach, there's been little to no buzz about it anywhere until right before they were announced. Which is why all the hand-wringing over Brownell is silly.

Would they announce the next coach on a Tuesday or Wednesday? Seems more like a Monday thing to me…

Cig was announced on a Thursday

It’s a celebration for hitting the big heist and getting away in the context of the scene for Goodfellas

Kinda true a week out. But as we got close to the announcement day? Definitely not true, especially for Woodson.

• For the Woody hire, about three days before the hire [mention=1559]8bucks[/mention], a wonderful poster who never gets over his skis, had the hire nailed -- through Woodson family acquaintances I believe. He told me but didn't want the attribution or grief on the open board so I posted that the info came from a credible, anonymous source about three days before Woody was announced. There was a meltdown and a "how do YOU know more than the insiders" string of pushback, as there should have been. And then it happened.
• For Cig, if I remember correctly his name wasn't really mentioned until a day or two before he was announced. When his name was suddenly thrown into the mix [mention=6234]Lebowski[/mention] started singing the praises really strongly, and pretty much everybody was then was a fan of his take (because he knows more football than many of us ever will). A day or two after the board had it as a strong possibility, the announcement came.

Wait...so credible information comes from people on this board and it's not just reserved for the media figure heads? Weird...

I am personally a fan of the bi-polar day to day news.  Has made this cycle that much more entertaining.  You keep doing you.

Stirring up the crowd to reach 2500 pages, that’s my theory
