What if the new coach doesn't want him?  Does he have to honor the scholly?

No, but with the number of open spots for next season I’d certainly keep him.

You know for all the talk of the lack of consistency IU basketball has had the last decade. We are well on our way to our 27th consecutive Big Ten Tournament berth . 
 

really what more can we as fans ask for ? Just saying fellas 

People can pine after Chris Beard all they want but when's the last time he made the Big 10 tournament?

 

That's right, NEVER.

My tidbit is it’s exhausting living in the same town as your aging mom. Dang smoke detector got me out of the house. But she doesn’t know who the next coach is going to be.

How about when she gets logged out of Netflix or the closet door has came out of its tracks? Needless to say I can relate man.

It’s Past afternoon…..lol

Good evening all,'

It's been quite some time..

As I've garnered some recent inside information, I wanted to share the knowledge with the BTB family.

 

As most of you know, I've held a close relationship with Coach Woodson over the last 4 years; be it our Saturday iHop visits, golfing, and sharing coacoa at my log cabin residence..

it pains me to see him go..

 

With that being said, he has let me in on the likely candidates for the position.

 

From the words of Scott Dolson, "Archie Miller is the answer."

 

Dolson doesn't believe we gave Miller the time that he needed to bring this program back to glory, and believes that Scott Drew's recent testacle surgery would make him a liability. 

 

While I do believe that Archie has this job locked up, my personal co-sign for the job goes to Andrew Toole, head coach of the Robert Morris University Colonials. 

Has he shown success? No.

Does he have any type of proven track record? No, he doesn't.

What he does have, is an absolute smokeshow of a wife; I mean an absolute rocket, which leads me to believe that Toole has a shaft like a Subway Cold Cut..

 

This is the type of energy we need to see within this program..

Do we truly believe Coach Knight wasn't packing an absolute lantern between his limbs? 

 

Bow to me, I am the Barrel.

My all time favorite is when I had to come out because she couldn't figure out why the garage door wouldn't shut.  She hadn't pulled the car in fully and was completely blocking the sensors.  Facepalm.

Way back when, we helped my inlaws move.  My MIL had dementia and depression.  Terrible stuff.

Well, she was stressed.  Didn't like the new place.  

Couldn't find things because we were not finished unpacking.

She accused me of stealing her wire hangers.

How the heck did she figure that I had coveted those forever?

So take your Mom's hangers and hide them.  Swap those for the information you seek.  Good luck.

No, he admitted it was a joke.

So he’s reading the board. 
 

If you guys think this is a bit, that’s fine, I get it.  I have no idea how I’d prove I’m not that person (open to ideas if you’ve got them).

Bu really just wanted to make the point I made in my previous post: best to stay open minded about who’s hired. Just because it didn’t work out forever in one place doesn’t mean it can’t work out well here.

Trying to get her to FaceTime to get logged back into YouTube TV is one of the most exhausting things I’ve done. I guess we better enjoy while we can.

Barrel;

I would say “welcome back” but after that weekend you, me, and Old Fart had last month it seems like just another day with you.

One thing I will say; I wasn’t surprised that you have been permanently banned from the “Blaze Gentlemen’s Club” in New Orleans, but safe to say we were both surprised when all the Tuesday afternoon dancers knew Old Fart by name. Never thought the nickname those girls have for the old fella would be “Big Daddy Hotcakes.”

Anyway… glad ur posting again.

Hugs,
Stuhoo and Big Daddy Hotcakes

Absolutely brother....and that's what I tell myself when I want to pull all my hair out. Oh and you can get your mom to FaceTime correctly? I see sofas, refrigerators etc all the while she's not even attempting to speak to me.
