getting drunk like he still does in Oxford

Why would a millionaire coach go get drunk in campus bars? Why aren't there pics online of him doing this, like the Urban Meyer stuff? Shouldn't there be proof out there that it's actually happening?

Why should we care what a bunch of soy boy professors think? We are trying to win games here. 

Lol for real. If I’m looking for input on a basketball coach (or many other things), the college professor bloc is probably the last place I’m looking. The fact they’re trying to remove Whitten says it all.

Anyone else think Rabby talked Beard up as a PSYOP to stoke division on BTB and make this thread unreadable?

Beard Town Banners

Some would argue it’s Brad Town Banners 

[Hornsby 3,870]

Agree with this too. I would be highly surprised if it’s Beard

Especially after one poster went crazy and threatened to pull his donation. Man that was pure entertainment last night reading his posts.

Lots of agent stuff flying around right now. Lots of people in IU circles are saying different names and some are saying different candidates are done. Scott has hired like 5 different coaches in the last week if you listen to every single rumor. 

It may have been you when this started who said there would be a lot of misdirections and denials…

What rumor are YOU listening to?

I think there's levels of truth to all of them and in one form or fashion they are all connected.

[Hornsby 3,870]

Last word I will say on Beard: if you make a hire that is one that is going to be ride or die, you want to make sure that you can ride with and still die.

 

I have no feelings towards beard one way or another. Its not my job to judge others I will let another posters be judge and jury.But if it the options came down to either beard or a risky mid major I'd take the beard risk every single time. If we can get a guy like drew it's a non issue but if we can't.

Typical Domestic Violence PR Walk back.   Texas saw right through it and did the right thing, and Indiana should do the same.   Beard should not be considered at any level within the university.  he's already received his second chance

I would say its safe to say Beard has 2 strikes with the domestic violence and whatever that video is flying around.  Do we really want to be the university to offer the 3rd?  Some major red flags IMO

2 strikes with DV? That video is an absolute heaping pile of nothing, unless I'm missing some wild backstory here.

I was wrong...all it took was one new Beard rumor.

One that's been debunked and still yet, the aneurysms are popping aplenty.

It's no big deal. I'm not getting into it. She did some things. onward for Beard Town Banners

Smart move here—the only thing potentially worse than the Beard discourse would be Israel-Palestine discourse, lol.

....coming from a seasoned HS teacher of 28 years,.....What's the issue? 

The last person Quinn "liked" 4 years ago didn't end so well with the masses.  

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 11,331]

To be clear--- Whitten didn't do anything wrong.

Good post. Of course, if we get Stevens that is awesome. But it comes down to the fork in the road. If it’s between Beard and a McCollum and we choose McCollum…well you get the point. It’s this line of thinking and decision making which reflects why we’ve sucked for so long. Many of these same people probably didn’t want Pitino or Pearl or didn’t like Sampson…yet there’s a common denominator with all 3 coaches…they have National Title Contending Programs seemingly every single .year. Beard has a far more likelihood of succeeding here than a lot of names being thrown out….but sure, let’s hand over the reigns a guy that has coached 2 quad 1 games in his life, has all his players leaving after this year and pray to God he turns into Bo Ryan and not a Todd licklighter, or Archie Miller or the countless of other “up and coming coaches.” Give me a break.

Any chance we can open a Beard DV chat and move this convo elsewhere? Just asking....

You’re not missing anything on the video. The tweeter posted the back story and it’s a complete nothing burger. All it tells us is that Chris Beard was absolutely hammered around Christmas 2020, which everyone already knew he liked to do.

In all seriousness, it should be easy to determine if Dolson is at Gainbridge today for the ladies game.

He was at Gainbridge yesterday...
