That’s what so unreal about it.  UNC is making the exact same mistake IU made almost half a century ago.  It’ll end the same way for UNC as well.

I meant to say almost a quarter century ago lol.

Pretty sure he has an account here and drops in periodically when his name is mentioned lol. I smell another boxing match Netflix special brewing… IUBB “insiders” edition…

Good news and bad news. 

The Good News: The end is in sight. 

The Bad News: Administration doesn't like how hard the board was on Woodson. This thread has to exceed the length of the Retire Mike Woodson Thread before Brad is announced. Better keep posting!

Fact check: 

True

True

Man I cannot keep up around here.  Is this person considered an insider with any type of info?  We need like a legend to show up on the page on who is who.... 

If former coaches don't have insider information, then I don't know what to tell you.

Really?  I remember ol’ JCBasketball.  I agree with the sentiment.

He always goes by Coach Sam Story.  Does he even coach basketball?  I swear I heard he was a girls lacrosse coach.  What are his connections if any?

[BA47591 1,106]

I think we can all agree on the basics. Someone that brings a culture of playing their guts out on both ends. If not a55 meet seat. Then, identifying and getting the players that fit that culture, hs and portal. That has to be our foundation.  

 

Give me Pitino until he retires. He'll right the ship. I would trust him to recommend his successor.

And Uconn with Ollie (though at least he actually got the NC)

IU basketball coach records vs. Purdue since Bob Knight: - Mike Woodson: 4-4 - Archie Miller: 0-7 - Tom Crean: 5-10 (5-5 over last 6 years) - Kelvin Sampson: 2-1 - Mike Davis: 9-2

https://x.com/daily_hoosier/status/1894067565510484340

 

Mike Davis might have been the best human being to hold the coach position at IU,just not so great at some of the other stuff a coach needs.

For sure. That is a 'lose the press release win a ton of games' guy without question.

Sign. Me. Up.

• Proven record of winning
• Turned around a historically bad mid-major
• Young
• Great culture
• Great defense
• Modern offense
• Obsessive hard worker
• P5 experience and turning around a program in year one at P5

Did not realize he was at Drake before WVU.

This comes up a bunch but I don’t know the context. Who can share?

Don't know if someone already responded. It quotes Sam Story from way back when, I think before his actual name was revealed. He was in the Chicago area at the time, don't know if he's still there, he posted on boards under a handle, as an 'insider' type, he would share info he'd heard from time to time. I no longer recall what recruit it related to. It has lived on, in infamy, as one of the funniest kind of coy insider - type info-reveals ever. (Sam is a good guy , I used to trade pm's with him way back when I was a mod.)

He was back on the Scout site.  As has been stated, he had some connections while Crean was the coach.  Though, he infamously called Gary Harris as a lock to IU.

I would’ve taken the national championship if it meant some down years.  No doubt about that.

As the day goes by the more I learn his the post this morning is way off. Is Brad Stevens coming to IU? No. Has he said no for sure? No he hasn’t. I think there are some things both sides are trying to get worked out. I think IU side feels like they can get it done.
