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.

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.

"familiar"?

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

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.

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. 

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.

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.

I wanted Pitino so bad 20 years ago lol

IU plays O$U on the 8th.  BTT starts the following week on the 12th

Our final game is March 8, BTT start the 12th I believe.

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. 

Captain Obvious here

....one way to earn some credibility is to have shared specific info that's not been posted or not public knowledge but secretly known by Jerry, Chris, ap and RTZ. jmo

IU's senior day is March 8 against OSU. BTT starts March 12.

Cant believe I’m going to say this, but I actually agree with not naming a new coach so Woody can finish the year without being completely humiliated. 
 

Now, of course, anyone with any self awareness would have stepped down immediately instead of trying to perpetuate some farce about it being his choice, but Woody is still a human being and IU legend and can be afforded a little grace despite him showing none to the fanbase.

IU wouldn’t be naming the coach. It would be breaking news.

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

Nah the humiliation is well earned.

I know an acquaintance of Thad’s, & Thad has admitted he doesn’t have the energy he used to coach with, I wondered to myself if that means just physical fatigue or that their passion for coaching has diminished, which is a danger for someone that has left coaching voluntarily because they wanted, let’s say, an executive position or something.  

I don’t think he has the energy to recruit like he used to.  IMO, when he was really successful, he was collecting a lot more talent than other teams at his level.  Early at Ohio State, he was a very aggressive recruiter who collected a ridiculous amount of talent.  When that fell off, so did his winning percentage.

Interesting he just went on barstools PMT yesterday (Came out today) was asked about the IU job he said if he was Dolson he wouldn't even look at anyone else and hire Chris Beard. 

He said Beard is a top 3 coach in the country and is exactly what IU needs and would have IU in the top 5-7 in the country every year. Wonder what kind of favor Pitino owed Beard? LOL 

I thought maybe they were represented by the same agency but I guess Pitinos agent is the famous Drew Rosenhaus

Imagine if coaches did commit videos. IU hat, Celtics hat, random other team hat. That’s a world I want to live in.
