We just pulled a sitting power 5 head coach who had no reason to leave his current job to come to IU and people don't like it. Unreal Kentucky made a similar hire last year, and we’ve been mocking them for striking out with all their top candidates. There’s a hundred posts about it in this thread. Nothing to do with Stevens. Its a solid B+ hire. After Archie some people will be slow to jump on board. 8bucks, Juwan Moye, jonz44 and 4 others 7

I have no doubt they shared what they heard. It isn't their fault people didn't take what they said with a grain of salt and made the follish mistake of believing they were 100% correct this time. skhoosier2, thebigweave and realTomCrean 3

Fwiw Yeah, he lost his son, who was their leading scorer and best 3-point shooter. He is an NBA-ready talent, that West Virginia lost after game #8 of the season and his dad still found a way to win 19 games!!!! JaybobHoosier, jonz44, skhoosier2 and 1 other 4
IvanRenkosillegitimatechild Posted March 18 Posted March 18 6 minutes ago, NVFalcons1990 said: Just look at Drake's 6 seasons, prior to Devries getting there. Then he rattles off 6 straight years winning at least 21 games every year at Drake. Turns around a West Virginia team that was 9-23 last year in his first year! This guy can flat out coach and could be locked in for the next 20 years. Also in Devries defense he didn’t have his best player 90% of the season. He probably has a winning conference record and makes the tournament with Tucker NVFalcons1990, Juwan Moye and VFury 2 1

He said that all the noise was coming from outside of IU, i.e. agents. Rabby just said basically the same thing, that agents are pumping confidence that it's DeVries. CSP and lillurk 1 1

jimsorgi Posted March 18 Posted March 18 4 minutes ago, go iu bb said: I'm guessing each of those NCAA appearances were due to winning their conference tournament? So that would be 5/6 years finishing top 2 in conference regular season plus 3 times winning the conference tournament. So even though he has 0 NCAA wins, he does have some postseason success in that regard. 2021 was an at large bid. NVFalcons1990 and lillurk 2
