I’m still holding out for Bruce Pearl. Auburn has lost 3 of 4 maybe Bruce has signed the contract and the pressure is getting to him.

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?

Don’t forget about the flight from Teterboro to Indianapolis Executive.

That's for those university communities to decide. I care about Indiana University. I don't know if Sampson changed after Indiana or not and have no dug into it, but while he was here the team culture was a detriment to Indiana University and its community. As far as Chris Beard is concerned, I don't believe he has changed at all.

Wow quite an assumption considering you don't even know him at all. I dont like to assume things about people I don't know but you clearly do. I don't think you would be to open minded on a jury. Too much bias for sure.

And people call us crazy!

They have a legitimate case. Their tournament résumé was objectively better than North Carolina’s on almost every level. But most importantly, the UNC AD was the chairman of the committee AND received a $104k bonus for his school making the tourney.

WVU’s snub is one of the most egregious I’ve ever seen, and North Carolina absolutely didn’t deserve to get in over them.

I don’t know if there’s precedent for anything like this, and I don’t think they’re likely to win. But I think it should be interesting if it gets to discovery without being tossed out.

Gotta love the people who show up every day, practically foaming at the mouth, just waiting for someone to be wrong—dragging the rest of us down into their miserable little vortex. But the second someone brings any positivity to the board, they’re immediately labeled a troll and have their sources questioned—ironically, by the same people who have absolutely zero real connection to the program whatsoever. Yet, if someone posts something negative, they take it as gospel and wallow in the misery like it’s their life’s purpose. If they actually want to make a real change, they should get off their lazy ***** and donate to the NIL fund, support the basketball program, and give back to the university. Do something that actually matters instead of being a mood-killing, negativity-obsessed Nancy on a free message board.

Charter flight by Flight Exclusive, tough ones to figure out information compared to other ones.

This actually all rings true. It's free to come here, it's free to post.

Think it's unreasonable to be anything but grateful for people who post things.

It's the reader's responsibility to discern the good ones from the trolls.

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.

Doubt it’s him but would take Chris Collins in a New York minute. Very good X’s & O’s. Understands the B1G. Kept his head above water at a brutal gig. Was the lead recruiter at Duke. Has seen the IU thing up close and would undoubtedly view this as a destination job. Young enough. I know there are folks around here who’d hate it. Don’t care, they’re wrong.

[rcbowla 8,076]

People get way too up in their feels here considering it's a message board. A place where folks come to share their thoughts and opinions. If you don't like hearing differing thoughts, opinions, strategies or whatever then maybe it's a you thing rather than an everyone else thing.

Many of us have supported the program our whole life.  We supported Davis who we knew wasn't remotely qualified.  We supported Crean who we didn't really like and didn't think was a good coach.  We supported the absolutely mind blowing hires of Archie and Woody at least for the first few years.  When Crean was pulling guys off the baseball team to field a full roster AH was still selling out.  We have done our part.  Get this hire right or we are done.  Sorry not sorry.

And Rabby did a Rabby and deleted the above rabby tweet..

Rabby is a coward..

To be fair it probably is a wise idea to take factually wrong information down so as to save Tucker from further incessant questioning. It's kind of the right thing to do in that situation, especially when he owned up to the mistake on this one.
