If RTZ's info is legit, that's amazing. I don't know if it is or not. But I do know that I'd prefer for live in a fantasy world where BS is a possibility for a couple more days than one where Brad Brownell is the IU men's basketball coach.

I'm just trying to have fun with it.

they thrive on negativity.. Because if the team does well they wont show their faces here..

They only show when **** hits the fan 

And in other areas of life they are first in line to be a victim while singing "poor me!"

Lol. Did anyone listen to the Curry Hicks podcast segment on Beard a week or so ago? He had Texas managers saying that Beard had gotten into altercations with his former fiance before at a team hotel in front of staff and players. Again this is not just a one-time thing. 

Did not hear about those anecdotes, but that is very concerning. Anyone who is familiar with the legal system knows that victims of DV do not always cooperate with the prosecution. The charges were dropped, but that is NOT the same as going to trial and being found "not guilty". The details of the encounter are public information. There were visible bite marks, bruises, cuts on his fiance. This is coming from an arrest affidavit, not internet rumors. I for one do not think the university is going to take the risk. If we hired Beard, and he did something like that again, the blow back would be unimaginable.

Is there a guy named Newton on the team still? Get him out of here as well. 

Why?

If that kids healthy he's the hardnosed physical guard this team needs.

Collins

I think you guys sell him a little short. Best coach ever at NW. consider that McCollum couldn’t have won at NW this year like he did at Drake because he wouldn’t have been able to get all his kids into NW.  

 

There’s probably about as good of a chance that he comes here and builds IU into a powerhouse as McCollum, imo.  Collins was K’s right hand man forever. Was a good recruiter. Is a midwestern guy who would probably recruit the hell out of Indiana, IL, Ohio and Michigan like Knight used to. 
 

Of course, the downside for both would be pretty much where we’re at: mediocrity or worse.

Alright BTB Nation: flights from Teterboro are incoming to Bloomington, Clark County, and Indy Regional this afternoon. 
 

Who lives nearby and is going to tell us who gets off?

I think he's a better coach than Cronin.

Is this good or bad? Face looks sad tbh. 

Let's hope there's an air traffic controller on duty in Indy.

I love you all and I love IU basketball. My dreams have been made and my nightmares are lost. I say Hoosiers and I say love. When I see the sun I see you. But be fearful of deer in the woods as they feed on the grass you walk on.

Found you

Collins is a really, really good coach and Northwestern is a really, really hard job. Not just admissions, but support, NIL, etc.

Taking NW to a tournament is akin to working a miracle.

He wouldn't be a sexy hire, but leagues better than Brownell.

If you can type this response you can type one to clear up what your image intends to convey, unless it’s intended to be ambiguous, in which case I’d consider it trolling.

No crap it's meant to be ambiguous, which also doesn't mean trolling. You're having yourself a day on here so far.

It’s sad that people like you won’t ever quit coming to the board. Bring nothing and complain about everything. We have a lot of you on this board. I’m sure you’ll change your name again soon. Troll

Inside sources telling me that a call has been made to John Calipari. Not sure who called or what they wanted. Sources believe it was just a telemarketer. But a call was made.

 

On a more serious note, the Chris Collins chatter is interesting. I don’t think he’d be the worst option. He’s won at a school that’s never won before. Thoughts?

Bloomington one is owned by some ranch in Oklahoma

Clark County one looks like it’s owned by a Law firm
