Have we talked about the Shrewberry press conference yet? I wonder if he is going to lose a couple guys this offseason...ND Is bad bad.

Unsure whether he will lose players as ND struggles, but at least Coach Shrewsberry shows some passion.

We toss around IU's NIL in many posts - but which would you take

1) A top 2 or 3 coach in the game but only 1/2 the current NIL

2) Top NIL in the country and slightly above average coach

First, I love BTB. Been here for years. Second, the ads have suddenly become so persistent and untimely, it's becoming quite the nuisance. Viewing on mobile is impossible. And an ad for every click is driving me nuts....

I am on my lunch and can't quite read everything from this morning till now. Last I seen we were ramping up the Steven's train again! That's still a thing as of now?

1.

For 2 - I feel like we're seeing the results of what NIL and an average coach yields.....and I don't like it.

True fans deal with the ads.  Fake ones just complain about them while they are doing their job of creating revenue for the site.

I vote for 1. If we have a great coach the NIL would increase over time. If NIL is propping up an average coach we’ll be a frustrated fan base once again.

As long as Brad Stevens lives and breathes and it will always be a thing.

Why do they have to be independent of each other.  I would think one would attract the other so to speak.  But I would take a top coach.  A top 5 coach can get top teams from average to above average players.

I'm skeptical, to say the least, but nothing wrong with posters having some fun with the idea until IUBB smashes our hopes again.

Question:  Would they really announce a coaching change before the end of the season?

Theoretically, if it is Brad and the media is beating his door down, he (nor anyone else) is publicly accepting the IU position with someone still in that post.  Now, the minute after the season has ended...the gloves are off.

In our situation (with no NCAA tournament in our future), I think they would at the end of the regular season, before the conference tournament, if the new guy doesn't have his own tournament obligations (that's your Brad Stevens story).  Get a jump on the staff, portal and roster.  Otherwise, nothing get's announce before the new guy is available to actually start the job -- which is most likely.   So earliest would be Monday or Tuesday after the First Round of NCAA, unless the guy make a deep run (Dusty May, et. al.).

If you get a chance tell her to stay away from that area. It's run down because of I69. If she needs a realtor I know a few good ones but I have to get a referral fee 

In my day we spent an extra hour in traffic on 37 just trying to get from Martinsville to Btown like proper Hoosiers.

We have talked about this in prior pages, but you should be able to download an adblocker app on your phone. Unfortunately none of us on the moderating team can make the ads go away.

But as of now the insiders are saying it's happening?

Calling Woody an average coach might be the biggest compliment he's gotten here in months.
