How’s IUs last 9 years going 

About as good as his this year…..and the big 12 was down and he couldn’t even win enough to get a bid.

Devries is fine, but we only get his son for one year… and first year of a “rebuild” at that

Would he be eligible for a medical redshirt given he only played ten (+/-) games this season?

[JimmerNoe 1,080]

Im sure I’ll come around on it eventually once I get to watch some analysis. Just a decent hire to me. I know that big home runs are rare but I definitely didn’t get super excited like you’d hope to be when you hear the name.

He beat Zags, Arizona and a road game at Kansas this year.  When did IU beat any of those teams?  lol

This is a bunt single at best

Crean beat some good teams too including number 1 Kentucky don’t mean he was the answer… he also won the big ten and still got fired….

[wirenuts 1,443]

Well the boosters saved some money I guess so there is that..  

Devries will probably do well, but who knows

And did all this without arguably his best player for most of the season. WVU wasn’t good at all the year before, he turned them around quickly! Also turned Drake into a good mid-major program.

Not particularly exciting. Not the big hire.

Just win basketball games. A lot of them.

Some fans of a program with 1 winning conference record in 9 years are going to turn their nose up at a coach like DeVries that in year 1 at a high major beat on the court Kansas, Arizona and Zags.    These same fans watched IU lose to each of these 3 teams by 20 +.   Go IU 

Exactly, he is a solid coach who has proven he can win at this level. The goal is to win games not the press conference.

Devries didn’t have a winning conference record either this year. Fwiw

You massively overrate this job. DeVries is an excellent coach. I don't believe it's him, but if it is I'll be happy. Proven track record, can recruit talent, has elevated the program wherever he's gone. And has a cool name. Maybe not an A+ hire but I'd give it a solid B. Certainly raises the floor immediately at IU. Who knows what the ceiling would be, as he's not been at a high major program long enough to establish a tournament résumé.

Will Wade or beard would have been way better. This hire isn’t going to excite the fan base at all
