Anyone care to explain Beard’s style of play

Open the cooler. Grab a can. Pop the top. Party time.

It seems pretty certain that SD told donors and BOT to shut up. At that point, all the buzz was Stevens. After that our reliable sources here got no more information. If I’m SD, why would I quiet people down (which he did) if they were way off the scent? I’d only do it if they were sharing legitimate information. 

What do you think they were posting that was legitimate?

Remember what I said this morning 

I was just reading how bad he is against quad 1 games. These same people who say Woodson can’t beat good teams are all saying Chris Beard. Sounds like he just beats up on weaker people, I mean teams.

Chris beard is 5-7 against quad 1 at Ole miss

mike Woodson is 3-11 against quad 1 at IU

that comparison is not a good one

Yes I know. I'm asking why he thinks that helps.

Now, reports are Pitino is interested also. Does that help?

Beard is a hell of a coach.

But he's one that is a very risky hire for a program that can draw interest from other coaches that are quality coaches.  As has been said prior, IU vetted him prior to the last hire and it never got past that stage because the general feeling is he has a drinking issue.  He made himself less hireable after the incident at Texas.  He's not going to move directly from Ole Miss to a top paying job unless either more time passes without incident.

JMO

Yeah that's what I've always felt with Beard. We just can't hire a guy who is essentially already on strike 2. 

You'd have to fire him if he does something like come to a rolling stop, gets pulled over at 3 AM, and blows a .12.

If his incident at UT had occurred 10+ years ago and he had stayed completely clean since then, yeah you can make the call if you're IU because he's demonstrated he can stay out of trouble.

But we're just not at that point yet. More time needs to pass to determine if you can trust him.

Donuts in the snow all day! HELL YEAH IM ON BOARD WITH MCDERMOTT!

Whitten is the one that will decide the morals of hiring Chris Beard and it obviously won't be any of us. 

I can't imagine it is signed off on but he is definitely a great coach on the court

He coaches at Ole Miss. He took Texas Tech to their first final four in school history.

And lasted not even 1.5 seasons at Texas. Not so successful there. 

Beard has a runner up finish and an E8 to his name. Cronin has 4 S16s, one of which was a F4 trip. Anything can happen in a single elimination tournament. Beard overall winning pct is .703, in conference is .613. Cronin's overall .683, conference .702.

Mick Cronin will be the youngest active coach to 500 career wins before the end of this season. Hardly worth crying over.

I will never freaking wish for Purdue to win a head to head. 

Normally, I'd agree... but I want Woodson to get throttled this weekend... he deserves it... he can choke and puke on it for all I care.

I would like to see this compared against other coaching candidates.

How many of those games was he favored in? How many of those games did he have the more talented team? Just looking at those numbers with no context isn’t the best argument imo.

There is still 7 or 8 names that should be at least called before Cronin should even get a mention. 

There are at least 15 names that should get a call before mark turgeon. Maybe even more names than that. 

Mark Turgeon should never get that call. Period.

C’mon man.. “beard lasted 1.5 seasons at Texas”

he was 7-1 in his second season at Texas when he got fired. Him “not lasting at Texas” had nothing to do with his coaching. The dude wins

[Papacap]

Michigan losing at home. Cross May off the list.
