Tell your friend to stop asking stupid questions.  It’s never too early.

The new “insider” posters are like the hot chicks who worked at Chess King back in the day telling guys they looked great no matter what they put on. You wanted to believe them but deep down, you knew.

You know why? You were at Chess King. Nobody's leaving Chess King "looking good".

Why does it seem like @BehindTheBench's timeline sounds a lot like what @JerryYeagley23 put out a couple weeks ago?

 

Also I wouldn't assume that he's a troll just because he's new

I’m sorry what now?

I may not have the right poster but I was on another site mostly during the Billy Donovan "hire" and am pretty sure you had a post on here that said you saw a bunch of black SUVs pull up and guys with briefcases got out and were in AH.  Was that you?  If so, any idea who they were or was it a joke I took for reals by mistake.  Either way, I think that was when i switched over here full time.  

I don’t remember that if it was me but wouldn’t put it past me. I remember being at Assembly Hall when they said Pitino was there. But if it was the Mike Davis era I was on Peegs.

The 10 day part is probably the difference.  What would happen in 10 days to allow for news to leak to someone like Goodman?

It's Friday and this is a judgement-free zone.

I give them the benefit of the doubt even if new, but it’s also entirely possible they just read the board and are just  regurgitating Jerry’s stuff.

10 business days which would only be within a few days difference. Not that much time tbh

Anything is possible.

Never a legend, I’ll leave that to you, kind sir. And getting made fun of forever, hey, I’ll wear it. Like you, I simply pass along what I’m told. Commend you specifically, Mr Chris, for continuing to show up and share the info you hear, regardless of the blowback you receive if you aren’t exactly spot on. At the end of the day, we aren’t the ones making the decisions (or it would’ve been wrapped up with the first meeting, am I right?!), we are a just a couple regular dudes sharing info.

I appreciate you being gracious. Our posters normally aren't as much dicks to new posters, but welcome anyway!!

Good catch, I missed the business days part.

Yeah, you’ve earned some grace and you rarely are as specific as these people are trying to be.

“Fox sports March 2nd 3pm” 

“10 days”

etc.

And I get people wanting to welcome people, being polite etc, but from my vantage point these types of posters are actively aiming to discredit people on here by spouting nonsense. Maybe I’ve been an internet user for too long.

As long as people like yourself don’t stop engaging because asshats attack you and try to discredit you then all good.

That’s why I said why say in 10 business days? You already gave good info but he’s saying things I like so giving him a chance. He also has a familiar posting style.

Today is February 21st. 10 business days from today would be Friday March 7th. The Big Ten tournament starts on the 5th so the thinking is IU gets beat and then stuff starts coming out. That would only be about a 10 day difference from Jerry's original timeline.

I will say the general media silence has been interesting. It’s like nobody is hearing anything. Also strange there hasn’t been one renegotiated contract from anywhere. Usually there’d be all kinds of agent nonsense leaking out by now on purpose to get guys paid, and I haven’t seen anything. Makes you wonder what’s happening behind the scenes.

This new troll has evolved, aping the kindness of the regular posters instead of trying to be brash or bold. 
 

Honestly it feels like someone fed the fire Mike Woodson thread into chat gpt and then asked it to spit out a successful troll. At least the human was decent enough to add “no Chris Beard discussion” to the prompt. 

Dude, you literally have 8 posts. Not sure you're in the safe area to call out trolls yet

If you actually watch the X's and O's are good. The problem is they have limited money. It's gotten a little better in the last year but still isn't great. Only 3 of their 5 starters are big east caliber because they can't afford anyone. They do have a good HS class coming in though. 

I'd also assume Matta with our roster has a much better record than Woody. Like much, much, better.

I was just making up Goodman. It could be Shams, Rothstein, Borzillo, the heavy guy who has followed LeBron around. Anyone in the basketball business.

Yeah too many of you missed the “business” days detail. Not sure it’s true but AP lined it up nicely here.

Note also that Osterman and Niziolek, actual reporters, are confident that IU wants to avoid naming a new coach while the current team is playing.
