Welcome, glad to have you!

HH cares much more about HH and serving themselves using Indiana Basketball than they do Indiana basketball. Rabby has evolved to a caricature of himself the past few years. There was a time he was an actual journalist.

 Eric was throwing a little hissy fit about Mgbako the other night after the Purdue game basically saying he hopes the new coach kicks him to the curb and saying hes bad for the program both on and off the court. And they aren't re-upping his deal and he was getting blasted for it LOL was a little cringe for my taste I get they get paid but still a 19 year old kid who is gonna have ups and downs playing college hoops thats just my opinion. 

He has had a lot of downs this season but I know he is dealing with some serious off the court issues and I'm sure Eric knows that too so that is sad if he's kicking him when he is down

Is this ranking a combined O and D efficiency? 3 things stand out to me. 1) how much more effective TJ has been since NIL 2) Cronin has been pretty consistent 3) Drew has been good regardless of circumstances until this year. 

Solid work btw and welcome aboard BTB

Yes. Combined. Also, this is a coach ranking, not a school ranking. So, it will include Otz's time at UNLV and South Dakota St. for example.

It's not a perfect picture into a coach's ability, but like you said, there are some trends to be gleaned.

I wouldn't think Glen would have any insight into our coaching candidates.

I've assumed this to be the case for a while. No doubt their podcast in which they told all sorts of "behind closed doors" stories about Woody last off-season was the final nail in the coffin.

Whether or not Woodson's behavior was out of line, that just isn't the sort of dirty laundry you publicly air about your coach until AT LEAST after he's been fired. Eric allowed his personal feud with Woodson to cloud his judgment on the matter, and it has clearly affected Rabby's ability to do his job. He effectively knows nothing more about the inner goings-on of the program than Trilly or anyone else. It's sad to see what's happened.

To be clear, I'm not defending Woodson in the slightest. He deserves a lot of criticism. But the crew over at Peegs was far too vocal with their criticism of him. I'm all for telling the truth and whatnot, but they burned a lot of bridges. It was only a matter of time until their sources dried up.

I still have my Peegs subscription because I get Paramount+ with it and frankly it's a great deal, especially with March Madness coming up. But the downfall of Peegs is truly sad.

I just joined on Peegs to see if there was anything additional there, there's not. The Paramount + sub sealed the decision for me, and I'll cancel at the end of March.

I got a year deal with Peegs for 75% off so don't get included in that anymore, but we did get a Walmart+ subscription for a different reason which I found also comes with Paramount+ perk. Not sure if I will renew Peegs after this year. Would rather pay for Trilly discord at this point. 

Trilly and Rabby effectively have the same sources, the main difference being that Rabby has his name tied to his reporting so he has to be more careful with what he can share. Trilly still keep things close to his chest if requested, but otherwise can be more laissez-faire with his treatment of info. He's definitely a better source at this juncture.

I just don't like discord as a format for message board usage. It's just a cheap way for Trilly to get out of paying to get a website built and domain fees.

Also a huge thanks as a new guy to everyone who shares what they know and what they're hearing. I'm not a huge poster but I'll share any data I put together like the coach rankings.

You have already brought some good stuff in the last couple of hours. Also responding so you can get rid of the jockstrap

Personally like Discord more but that's just me. Just have to treat it like a stream of consciousness rather than a message board.

I use discord for lots of things. I just wish there was a better way to find things buried deep in conversations. Everything's just mashed together.

You’re right the HH collective is shady.  It’s a zero transparency slush fund for those two with no oversight or financial controls — put simply they almost certainly skim from it despite claiming every dollar goes to IU athletes.

If anyone wants to give to NIL please go to Hoosiers Connect for a collective with proper oversight and professional operations.

That is a strong allegation.

Use the from: and in: commands in search box. 

Ex: from: (user) in: indiana

Helps a lot..

Hey folks. Peegs refugee here saying hi (got banned for pointing out how shady the HH "collective" is). Been lurking for a couple weeks. Vibes are way better over here.

Well, we have a pretty good band over here.  Oh wait, you said banned!   We won't hold that against you very long but you do have to wear a 'B' on your chest.  Glad to have you move from lurker to poster.

This is when I start to miss someone like Terry Hutchens.

I'm a pretty big Dolson supporter/defender, but he likely got too close with these two.  First off, I hope IU is requiring an audit or review of their collective.  IU is fundamentally associated with them and should confirm their claims are true (all donations to athletes... doubtful) and of course IU should confirm they can deliver on promises to players.  Second, their behavior is net negative for IU athletics.  Some of their podcasts are good, and that's fine.  But there are so many bad X posts, Peegs posts, podcast comments, and instances of bad public behavior that IU shouldn't be associating with them.  I cannot believe Scott let them host an event at Assembly Hall.

The HH can do their thing, it's a free country.  But IU needs to keep them out of the athletic department and be cautious when they include them in our player NIL deals.
