Exactly, nobody knows if this ever happened. So why should I give it any credence?

Just say it.  I hate when people with info or claim to have info do this.  Is it just for likes?  Why bother with crap like this?

.....possibly getting clarification on something before posting.

Haha you stole my punch line. Just trying to lighten the mood. It gets sooooo uptight in here. All is well fellas. The pain, suffering, and losing will all be over shortly. And the “Isaac” comments continue to crack me up. As my general once said “you’re illuminating your relative lack of knowledge….” Carry on, the future is brighter than the lights at TD Garden 

Oh brother x 2.

Allow me to summarize the context of the problem with Beard:

• There is a video and a ton of stories out there about how he is a heavy, heavy drinker.
• The DV incident happened when he was drunk. Fair to say that incident is probably not the only time he has had a problem in his life because he drinks too much.
• There is no basis to believe he has stopped drinking - just the opposite.

Excellent basketball coach and maybe he can prove that he has successfully received treatment. If so? That is how I could see him getting a long look. But Kevin Wilson is surely in the minds of IU decision makers. 

And there are other options of fantastic coaches that don't have that potential key flaw. 

 

 

That is the key to me. Beard is a good coach, but not outstanding. Regardless of his personal issues, IU can do better, IMO. 

If Beard was a choir-boy with a spotless reputation he still isn't top tier.

Amazing how a two-word post gets people so worked up. 

 

Some of you should go outside and enjoy the lovely winter we're having this spring. 

People seem to believe that Behind the Bench saying “oh no…” is more definitive than Goodman reporting Stevens won’t be a candidate haha. And I’m not convinced Goodman’s tweet is definitive for the record. Just funny…

The mere thought of hiring a certain someone has made me physically and emotionally drained. The state of the world(nation) has used up my emotional reserves.

on a good note, IU women currently hanging with USC in the 3rd, down 4.

I’m looking out my window from Regions Tower in downtown Indianapolis, so I couldn’t tell you brother. 

[Hornsby 3,530]

But 71% the last two years. And the argument is that the last two years is more indicative of where things are going. He's doing so well this year, after losing four pretty big contributors after last year's Elite Eight team. 
I've been lukewarm on Brownell the whole time, but I'm softening to the idea.

If you a great coach it doesn't take you 13 years to get these going. That hire would be so blah

The difference is that we allegedly (I do not have first hand knowledge) looked into Beard during the post-Archie Woody hire, BFORE the domestic violence accusation, and took a pass due to what we found out.

Louisville and UK looked into him after the dv accusation and passed.

I agree with others that he is not worth the risk. He is a very good coach but it’s not as though he has won 2 Natty’s.

 

 

The things people make assumptions on without any evidence is mind blowing.

Was just trying to make a little joke and lighten things up. Clearly that was a bad call. Let’s get back to fighting, name calling, accusations and moral and religious discussions.
