Totally forgot Tom Ostrom is on staff at WVU. That'll be interesting. 

Not the only familiar name

Too early to start the Fire DvD Thread? (just kidding).... 

How in the world do you come up with DvD as an abbreviation?

Exactly and still pulled a better record then this guy ever did

I like McCollum a lot too but The Valley was also way worse this year than it has been.  Will be interesting to see how McCollum does if he takes the Iowa job, got a feeling he will do quite well.

This is just per Trilly?  He could be right, but nothing from Thamel or Osterman yet?

Yeah, I'm waiting for someone else to say the same thing before I think it's done.

Then why can't they both be good? WV was ugly when DD got there, too. He's 2/2.

McCollum has an overall better resume in my opinion. Both can be good but someone is always better.

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.

Kleenex. Be sure to get the extra soft because it seems like you've used a lot already.

He’s got a top 25 class coming into WVU next year. Let’s poach one or two :):):)

Got a feeling we will feel the effects of it for a long time to come

We were on the same boat for Archie. I’m excited about DeVries. I think he will do a good job. Won’t win the press conference but I think he can win here. 

He also hasn’t or will be hired here.

I am starting to come around to Tyme saying the Indiana fans are part of the problem.  The guy hasn’t coached his 1st game.

So Thursday, we hired McCollum. Friday, we hired Brownell. Sunday, we hired Brownell again. Today, it's DeVries. Who are we hiring tomorrow? 

The difference is that tomorrow we will hire Devries with a press release and a signed contract.

Drew had a day. Beard had a day. They have all run together.

So you wanted McCollum?

[Unexpectedflash]

If it is Devries at least we will finally shoot 3s again. Averaged 26ish a game last year if my math is right
