I am curious why you think that?

Some people have a problem for every solution.

I've watched him coach a couple of times and I just think there were better coaches than him in the MVC. I'm not saying he won't succeed but we won't tolerate the same results we have been getting. Just my opinion. Like I said, I'll gladly eat crow.

I Love it…the guy has not coached one game at IU and he’s already got his cast of sycophants, devotees, shitting on anyone who disagrees! Lmao It’s comical…yeah that’s his ******* opinion…just like you got yours….mental cases……

He also has people that have made up their minds before he coaches a game that he will be a complete failure. That's fandom.

Yeah exactly everyone should be jumping for joy we hired a mediocre coach.

From your viewings of Devries teams at Drake and his year at West Virginia take us through the shortcomings and blindspots he exhibited that you spotted. Be specific. Come on, dazzle us with your insight.

Welcome back to crazy town @Chris007. Here are the list of coaches who have had the job and lost it since 8 AM: Stevens, McCollum, DeVries, Donovan, Unidentified big fish, Jay Wright, Brownell, Tom Crean and a MYSTERY CANDIDATE.

I will also be the first to admit I have been in a really pissy mood this week and having troubles with the female so that could be part of it. I was looking for some actual good news and this sure ain’t it.

At least Archie and Crean had some success in the tournament before they got here. 

Crean had just as much if not more tournament success when we hired him excluding the fluke final four run; he atleast made the round of 32.

He won his conference once and no tournament success. 

He tied for 1st once in the conference. That's not winning. That's tying. I just don't understand why we should be excited about this hire.

If it’s him, I’m guessing his son and Powell will both be Hoosiers. Both great shooters with B12 experience, let’s keep the party rocking. 

They have three recruits in their 2025 class, one top-150 and two top-100.

If it's him, the nature of coaching changes is brutal, but we may take one or two of them too.

Pretty much  seems like we’re just waiting on a national guy to tweet it at this point 

[Uspshoosier 53,272]

Insiders might of not mentioned him however his name has been brought up quite frequently throughout the years in the college basketball thread as a potential candidate.

Any actual reasons for Barnett hating IU? I’ve seen it mentioned as something everyone knows but no explanation.

No you aren't allowed to have multiple people who can shoot on one team.

The Big12 is the Big Ten.

It’s really hard to explain that the Big12 has 16 teams and the Big 10 has 18 teams to my children
