2023–24    19–14    10–10   T–6th                                                                                                                                        

2024--25     18-12      9-10      T-9th

 

This times 100000. I'm tired of being a bubble team and just an average Big Ten Team. Only one of those seasons was enjoyable and it's because they had one of the best players in program history. Whoever the next coach is (Stevens in our wildest dreams or someone like Alan Huss) is going to have to win and win right away. The majority of the coaches discussed would most likely do better than the last 8 years of Archie Miller and Mike Woodson given their proven track record. 

Off topic but FWIW I would not want to be a 4/5 seed playing High Point in the first round.

I shared the names I heard with a few posters on here via DM. not sharing here. sorry to be vague but tipped my hand a bit too much under my previous username with the archie info and my guy found out and wasn't thrilled. he's also a family member who gives me insane amount of access to IU athletics, not someone i'm trying to piss off. 

Correct, i haven't heard anything since last thursday. almost a week and a lot can change in that timeframe. heard Stevens wants nothing to do with CBB, and loves life in the NBA, but money talks i guess. The sale of the celtics isn't a big deal to him, he wants to stay in boston but will have several NBA offers if he doesn't 

Think i will withhold my info moving forward. understand the skepticism but i see why people with actual info choose not to overshare

At least you don't get told to shut up or stop posting daily. 

I think you have good info, just like I think Jerry, RTZ and a few others do. But one side or the other or maybe both are being used as smokescreens. Dolson learned from the last basketball search that too much info was getting out. Appreciate you

I have no trouble not posting. 

The ones with a dozen posts that have you living rent free in their heads also conveniently ignore every qualifier you give, and the hundred other topics from mundane to silly that gets talked about year round. I’m confident if you’d heard a firm no, you’d have said so. Why the fact that you haven’t bothers some to the point of personal attacks I’m sure I don’t understand, but the amount of haterz is pretty funny lol

Heading to IU to be Brad Steven's GM

Nope, already has a job lined up

Can you please clarify this? Are you saying that Brad Stevens already has a job lined up, or are you saying that the next coach already has someone for the GM position?

He’s talking about Montverde’s Kevin Boyle going to a different job

The funny thing is I didn't even name a name today. I just said I was hearing good things. Then the dude who was sending me DM's a couple of weeks ago telling me about Dusty May this and that tells me I don't know anything. Good Stuff!!

Why are you playing games with this chat.... you do not have a clue.. and you have not heard anything. Just be honest. Just because you post 2000000 times a day on here does not give you credibility.

I like your information and the way it’s presented. Most of the time when I see people other than C get attacked for sharing it’s because they’re condescending and rude to folks hoping Stevens is still a possibility. You’ve never been that way, which is appreciated by many I would guess— even if your info is contrary to what people want to hear. Just my worthless two cents. 

Understand why you wouldn’t want to keep sharing though, but hope you stick around. Cheers.

The huss bus sounds like archie. Archie finished in first both of his last two seasons in Dayton. We can't be messing around with flavors of the month anymore

I know what you’re saying, but it’s actually much worse. Dayton and the A10 is much higher level than High Point and the Big South. Archie also had an Elite 8 appearance. 
The A10 has 5 teams in the Net top 100, including VCU at 29. The Big South has one, HP at 86. Every other team is 164 or higher, with half over 200.

IU vetted and didn’t hire Beard last time, BEFORE the incident that cost him the Texas job. If someone you trust says it’s Beard, either you’re being strung among or your source is.

Maybe 4+ years of wandering in the desert has made the powers that be a little more desperate.

I guess it can cut either way, but being the only team in the top 100 when the rest of the league is 164 or worse, is actually really impressive to me.

Doesn't mean it'll level up, or that he's the man for IU, but I think that suggests Hess had a brighter future than someone able to leverage A10 level resources into a top 100 Net.

Whispers

That’s good to hear but I guess we will see if they are “Brad Steven’s whispers” or “B.S. whispers”…..LOL

PS. It’s a joke about the people whispering, not a shot at you.

I don’t know if there is a way but you should be able to turn off DM’s. Or only get them if you “follow each other” I’m sure all the insiders would appreciate not being bombarded.

At this point I'm so tired of losing I say let's hire the drunk. Keep him on a short lease and make him attend AA.
