We’re going to hear a different every story until the end of March is my take so no need to freak about anything that comes out until then. Seems as though next years coach is going to be great regardless 

We should start playing BINGO with different cards of coaches, kind of like Business buzzwood bullsh*t BINGO (or some version of it). LOL

I would love it if Dolson's dept was responsible for some of the disinformation going around. I would love to think that they were that competent...

Just caught up from this morning.  So it's Stevens, not Stevens, maybe Stevens, May (if we can convince him), Drew, Beard, Tony Bennett if we can convince him, not Tony Bennett, can't be convinced and we don't want him.  Plus Ballo walked out on the team.

Tony Bennett? C'mon guys. He's not going to be coaching at IU lmao

If you’ve ever listened to Hysterics podcast, multiple players have confirmed it.  Not a secret.  And a crazy way to run things.  He claimed it helped them be ready to adapt when things didn’t go their way in games.  Dumb.

I thought flash cards were for that.

How could you possibly believe something like that? 

  Because a former player went on a podcast and confirmed it.  Might of been a Hysterics podcast

I like how an active player, probably our best player, went MIA for a weekend and it's just background chatter to the revolving door of random coaches being floated back and forth lol

Copilot AI says its Drew, Cronin, and Pearl and that cronin is the new coach

I want to say Trevor played in high school and was pretty good if I’m remembering right.

Right. It's humorous how several people have asked for additional insight and it goes unnoticed. My point being that's how obsessed we are with getting a coach that can revive us. There's nothing quite like an Indiana coaching search!

Sadly, we don't do anything notable on the court.  This is the only real excitement we get every few years.

If we do start talking more seriously about Scott Drew, can we recap what happened with the Jurkin/Perea recruitments from more than a decade ago? I thought I remembered someone on the staff being unhappy with Perea and/or Jurkin tending toward IU, and at least implying that Perea might be deported for choosing the wrong school. I can't find the details. Can someone help me with that? I remember being rubbed the wrong way about how that recruitment was handled on Baylor's part.

Because it makes no f'ing sense. 

They have blocked off times in their schedule for practice. They do have a class schedule..... 

I'm pretty certain I heard some ex players talking about this on a Hysterics podcast....they didn't speak ill of coach, but if I'm remembering correctly, they talked as if it was his way of keeping them on their toes and out of trouble....as if they always had to be ready for practice or something like that...

I'm pretty sure that it has a lot to do with the program leadership this year and for the past 4 years... just a guess, though...

Semi-serious question lol.....How many times did you "ask the 8 ball" before you got the answer you wanted it to say?

 

P.S. This is not a dig...I'm Sweden on Brad..would love to have him, not sure what to think if he is actually still considering.

Personally, I am not a fan of Scott Drew which mostly because of the Perea incident 10 years ago.  His threatening to deport the guy if he didn't go to Baylor really rubbed me the wrong way.  I know that he is big on the religious part in the program which is fine, but the whole threatening deportation was really low.
