Lord only knows how many times are we going to have to debate Beard's DV arrest over the next 5 weeks...

In addition to it meaning that IU has a good basketball team again, I want the next coach to be successful so I don't have to see a bunch of posts pining for Beard to be coach.

Sconnie? It not a pretty sight.

He’s hammering little old ladies with a bar, and getting shouting streets drunk.

DO WE WANT THAT AT INDIANA?

Depends. If you own a bar… definitely.

Define "alcohol problem". Is he out in the streets shouting at little old ladies while drunk or getting hammered at a bar, like everybody else? 

Getting hammered at a bar when you are one of the highest profile people not to mention best paid state employees is a problem. I suppose you can disagree that this is problem drinking but personally  I don’t want IU’s basketball coach intoxicated in public.

And, the best W/L record among that list?

 

The team with the NET 238th SOS and 17-1 against Q3 and Q4 teams

How is it different? That is exactly what I’ve compared it to. I feel like I’m watching 1930s peach basket basketball or something. Slow, pumpfake, pass, slow, pumpfake, pass

Part of that could be the coach game-planning what needs to be done to win the game (novel concept).  If he had a team that was more adept at playing a faster pace, he might very well do that.

Winning is the #1 priority.  Right?

Can anyone validate that story with 100% certainty? I was told that was not true and made up by pro Dolson people to make it look like he had it on lock and then others came in and screwed it up for him. Meanwhile he was never really coming because his family didn’t want to. That last part should have been known very early on but was overlooked. 
One of many reasons Buckner and others were able to claim incompetence and push him aside and take control of the hiring and insert their guy, aka plan zzz.

I think Pete Yonkman is the voice at the table for Cook. It doesn't mean Ferguson still doesn't hold some weight.  You seem to be pretty close to the situation. If I remember correctly Dolson had zeroed in on Matta as his guy and the uncertainty with his health stopped that and Dolson didn't have a plan B? That is the part Brian Evans leaves out of the story. But after that Quinn moved in. At the time Jawan Howard made an elite 8 and Penny was moving in the right direction. The narrative had softened a bit on the alumni coach.

Very impressive D2 resume

Net doesn’t include anything non D1 so none of that means anything in the D1 world of things.   He is a college basketball lifer so I would have no problem supporting him as an IU coach however posting D2 numbers and comparing it to high major D1 programs is something  I personally wouldn’t do just yet

I mentioned Drake was "dead last" when I made that kenpom tempo list just because of how much it surprised me. Drake wasn't just last among all the mentioned candidates, Drake was last on the entire Kenpom list. By the way, I think he's an intriguing candidate who I would rank higher than a bunch of the other names on the list.

Most people don't choke and bite their fiancee'.  Overlooking drinking is one thing.  Overlooking domestic violence just cannot happen.  

I’m done with this alleged accusations!  I

don’t come here to get into a pissing match.  It’s not up to us, it’s up to Scott Dolson and staff.  So if he wants to hire Beard, I will support it.  Please don’t reply to my post anymore.  Thanks!

Nothing alleged.  He spent a night in jail and she didn’t press charges.  Only thing alleged is he paid her off.  He lost his job.  People comparing him to Pearl or Sampson are the ones with a problem.  He won’t get the job because Whitten had a problem with Fitzgerald.  She definitely will have a problem with him.

There's a button for that if you do not want to see posts from people who disagree with your opinion.

He’s bar-hammering old ladies, and getting shouting streets a little drunk.

We already had Kevin Wilson….

The unanswered questions are for Scott D to find the answers to. If the answers satisfy him then by all means, hire Beard. If they concern him further, then don't 

100% agree! It’s up to Dolson and staff not air-chair AD’s.   Let’s just all agree that if SD decides to hire Beard, we will all support until it becomes a problem.  SD isn’t reading your posts so you aren’t making a difference.

Kevin Wilson never bar-hammered old ladies.

He just got really drunk really often.

Since we are talking alcohol today, when Brad comes in and we hang a banner, can we spray champagne in the locker room? Is that off limits?

You think the D2 guy is good?

I’ve got a guy for you that won multiple national championships while recruiting and coaching more than 50 NCAA Division-I scholarship athletes and more than 15 professional players including Kyrie Irving (#1 NBA pick 2011), Ben Simmons (#1 NBA pick in 2016 and NBA Rookie of the Year in 2018), Michael Kidd Gilchrest (#2 NBA pick 2012), Scottie Barnes (2022 NBA Rookie of the Year), Joel Embiid (2023 NBA Most Valuable Player) Samuel Dalembert, Cooper Flagg, Jalen Hood Schifino, and Al Harrington.

He’s won over 800 games at his level, had multiple seasons of three or less losses, frequently wins by more than 50 points, and both his teams and many of their top opponents have a higher level of talent than any team in D2 has ever had.

So are we also ready to hire Kevin Boyle away from Montverde?

These are more fun when you don't give us the answer, and I try to figure it out before someone else does and posts the answer (I never do). Booooooo.
