I didn't mean by his choice. I dont think IU would hire him again. Just my opinion. 

We'll he's probably relieved he got left off the Titanic.  :)

She was, long enough to try telling us it was entirely Woodson's decision.

Yep the process was not going to play out at year end but Woodson wanted to be told he had a 5th year right after losing 7 of 8. He messed up the process per Kathy

Something I hadn't thought of until now. There is a comparison to Ben McCollum, and it isn't Curt Cignetti. It's Bruce Pearl. Both spent years winning big at the D2 level, before going to the mid majors and winning there, before getting a P4 job and immediately winning. The comparison is there, just a matter of if McCollum is capable of the same jump.

What is Ben’s personality like? He needs a charisma about him where players want to come play for him if you go that route. I don’t know much about his personality though

First thing Brad should do after taking over is ask whoever is in charge of the banners to slide down the other 5 just a tad to make room for #6. Gotta make room right away.

Some people somehow think being cynical about everything is smart. I think that explains what you’re running into here and what we’ve seen in other threads.

Yeah that's the thing I have no idea what he's like. Never seen an interview or anything. I think being an introverted guy like Archie is a non-starter.

He looks like Doug Gottlieb, so he's off my list.

Yes, the Stevens stuff is message board rumors.  But, some of these rumors have truth in them.  Once again, this is the point of message boards -- to get early information even if it isn't perfect.  If that isn't your thing, just read the IndyStar or Herald-Times for the confirmed and final version of the story.

My point was if all of this stuff is actually going on then the national media would know about all of this and report it.

McCollum is a pretty good listen. https://www.slappinglass.com/2022/11/07/ben_mccollum_pnr_pace_angles_player_constraints/

Heading to Mama Carollas's for dinner and by the time I get back home there will likely be several hundred posts to catch up on.  I'm up for it!

I was told by my ex that she left because I was cynical.  If she could only see me now!  Her loss.

Every national media person I have seen has said we should talk to Stevens. OMG what are we doing talking to him. If he says keep talking then we will, if he says no thanks than we move on to Dusty. Nothing crazy there

There was a time when Gottlieb was at ESPN that he would go out of his way to bash IU and its fans, kind of like a current guy but actually worse. We used to troll the Hell out of him. Lol, the good old days

You can explain that to Scotty till your blue in the face. I have seen numerous posters try to explain to him what message boards are but he never quite grasps it. He's been close

I understand everything just fine. The point is if things are actually going on that is being posted on here wouldn't you think that national college basketball media would be hearing the same thing.

Honest question (and there may be but slipped my mind):

Name a (or multiple) former IU players that would be considered "A-list" or "successful"?

The former IU player coach project should be buried at this point.

Tara Vanderveer, Todd Yeagley. That might be the list.
