Judge him however you judge him. If you judge solely on result rather than process, that’s fine. It’s certainly common. It precludes the need to project. And Moser is not my #1 guy at all, I just think he’s a very competent and legit guy, and the idea that someone would compare him unfavorably to someone like Michael Lewis is just fundamentally not a serious opinion to me. What I judge, and I’ve probably watched a dozen Loyola games over the last few years is, so a fair sample size, is: does their offense create looks, does it fit the personnel and can it be adjusted on the fly, do the players run it efficiently, do they defend with urgency, are they connected on both ends, do they play the full clock and do they maintain their discipline late, and do the kids get better. That’s most of what I look for in a nutshell. I look at what Loyola does and project it with B1G caliber athletes and I’m he  completely confident can win with it. 

Process is certainly important, don’t get me wrong, but his process has gotten him 2 tournament appearances in 17 years at the mid major level. He’d have Big 10 caliber athletes at IU, but so would the teams he would face every night. He’d also be coaching against big ten caliber coaches every night. He got thoroughly outcoached by Oregon State’s coach today. I don’t even think he’s a bad coach, he might even be a good one, but it takes more than being a good coach to succeed at the P5 level.

Honestly though I’m probably just wasting your time here, because I don’t think there’s anything anyone could say to get me excited about a Porter Moser hire. You don’t pay $10 million to fire Archie just to hire another mid major guy with an even worse resume. IU would be sending a massive ‘we don’t actually care about competing for championships’ signal to the fan base if they hired him, imho.

Right...this is just cheesy stuff I do as a teacher.   I know it's cheesy, the students know its cheesy...but it keeps it loose.  

Also, they beat UK. So...probably worth enduring.

I was expecting something really horrible but didn't see anything really bad with this. What was it like 30 seconds

Does anyone really care what he says or how he gets his team ready? Clearly he gets them ready and fired up to play... nothing illegal, immoral or reprehensible, so WHO CARES what kind of schtick he uses in his pre-game rah-rah?

Wow. I’m drinking about to see an 80s tribute band (who are awesome) and saw the lady Hoosiers score. 

Way to go Hoosiers. So freaking happy for you. Hoo-hoo-Hoosiers. 

I'm an 80's kid- is the tribute band related to one 80's group or just play 80's music?

Every Breath You Take...I'll be watching you...

They mostly do 80s rock. GNR, Aerosmith, ac/dc. But damn. Hoosier in the elite 8. Freaking awesome.
