I was sitting in row 2 behind the bench and my wife literally thought Tucker was going to attack someone. He had that look in his eye

I’d guess he feels his path to the NBA got seriously derailed this year and he and his family are worried.  He’s so gone.

It’s too bad.  He seemed like a nice kid and I liked his academic strengths.  He appears to have been chewed up by Woody’s bad program from what I can tell.

as far as I know, Few has not had an altercation with a woman that resulted in charges being dropped.

Then at the very worst he would be considered for the job although no chance he takes it.

Pretty crappy list imo but given we can't touch anyone with a skeleton that's what's left. May is gone. Thanks quinn.

I'm pretty convinced at this point it won't be a big name.

Has a single person other than you suggested Michael Lewis?

this post will be met with skepticism, which is understandable. but it won't be Stevens. 100% confident on that. Dolson's current list is 3, he doesn't have his "man", but any of those 3 would be really strong hires. has plans D and E as well, names we've all heard but hope it doesn't get to them. Nothing announced until late march at the earliest. deep talks with 1 candidate in particular, a name i think would be just about universally liked, but nothing signed and won't be until his team is done

Be very careful — you’re not allowed to have Stevens insight that doesn’t align with the hopes and dreams and delusions of this board.

We don’t want Beard and we’re going to end up with Brad Brownell…

From what I have heard he hasn't done himself any favors by showing up late to workouts, if at all, and different things like that.

Not saying I want either of them (I certainly don’t) but Turg’s results are way better than Brownell’s.

Don't pretend like you can leave this place and come back when a coach is hired. You will be here every day and you will like it! 

Yeah, busted... :D :D

Trevor’s hearings about TJO: people don’t think he’s leaving Iowa State anytime soon, but if he were going to it’d be a midwest school with rich bball history. Brought up the fishbowl argument as well.

I think Tucker is a good kid but he’s surrounded by some less than helpful noise. Unfortunately that noise may be never too far away.

Cept Jay could shoot.

[TadQueasy]

I don't think that comparison is fair to Edwards.  He actually did some good things.  I have not seen anything from this guy but complaining and bad shots.

yeah, my point was that no one will believe any insight that isn’t what they wanna hear. I’ve been saying for weeks Stevens has been 100% out from the jump. He just doesn’t wanna leave the Celtics for IU. Period.  Of course it makes total sense, because leading the Celtics organization is a better job than coaching at IU, but no one buys that someone may know it for a fact because cognitive dissonance has a stranglehold on this board.

The problem with Malik is nothing is ever his fault. He can have 3 players and 2 coaches tell him he screwed up and he still argues his side

He may have an argument with this staff. Not trying to be a smart @$$ but obviously the talent is there just maybe not the respect thus the attitude? While at MV (if I remember correctly) he was a pitbull when needed - remember he got 16pts 12 rebs in championship game. 

Woodson's defense (imho) puts insane stress/expectations on a line up not built for it (Nail/Slot/Rim switches) - he needs 6'5 to 6'8 with the footspeed of a guard i.e. a NBA lineup - and his offense doesn't put players to their strength, it puts players in a structure (leaning towards iso) which again lends it's self to a NBA lineup. When you see what shots we gets vs what Analytics say are the best shots it really is an obvious weird lineup. End of last year I saw a really good break down of how many mid range shots we took versus 3s and at-the-rim - it was a great read and I wish I could find it - suffix it to say it damning.

Honestly I hope what ever coach comes in just evaluates these kids individually to see if they fit - regardless of the numbers from this year.
