Osterman tweeted it, its really over. Pack your crap and move to the next thread y'all.

Will try hard to have an open mind. I like the season he had, given the injuries. But this smells a lot like Archie to me. I guess he does have more experience, so I like that. Get ready to re-learn pack line defense, buddy. Hopefully it takes less than 4 years to learn it this time. More 3s and defensive rankings are good. We shall see. But I’d be lying if I said it excites me.

I will watch how this goes with Devries but it's got an Archie feel to it. I'm bummed where the program has gotten. Our chance to hire a big time coach, and we didn't, was when we hired KS. What happened after that has led to IU not being a serious basketball school anymore. We will have to see if Devries can win enough to show we are serious, but on the surface, this hire does nothing for me with respect to feeling good about the state of IU basketball.

Watch some of his interviews.  Tyme said he was a horrible fit personality wise.  I think he's right.  The fan base will destroy this man.

Just want to point out that this will be the first competent coach we have had with IU’s NIL.  I’m excited to see what a young motivated coach can do with the resources at hand.   I also feel excited again about Hoosier basketball and that’s a great thing.  Go Hoosiers!

You and I plus about 12 others know exactly what happened. But this board will run every one of us off. It’s all good man.

Frustrating, but it is what it is man. Keep doing what you’re doing and bring what you bring. Makes this place special. If you’re right, you’re a hero. If you’re wrong, you’re mocked, but as you said, we know the truth and that’s enough for me to be confident and comfortable. Appreciate you my man!

I want to know how far down the list Dolson had to go to get to Darian. I mean, Chris Beard is right there, right?!

Probably 5th choice but 3 as the most realistic

Chris you are staying here. Give it a few days and the naysayers will dwindle.

It’s not the insiders we should be disappointed in.   They just pass on what they hear.  They should be mad at their informants and go kick them in the nutz. :)

I figure we will be right back in this spot again looking for a coach in 5-6 years. I hope when that time comes that IU doesn’t give Steven’s the time of day. He’s had his chances. He doesn’t deserve anymore. And Dolson really dropped the ball here. Could have offered McCollum money and NIL that he couldn’t possibly say no too but end up with Archie 2.0. Dolsons a bum too.

I met Archie @ 1933 Lounge before he ever coached a game.  He as with his wife and I was with mine.  Mid-Saturday afternoon and nobody else there.  I ate my dinner and let him eat his in peace.  

On the way out, I stop by and say: I’m a Hoosier born and bred, Hoosier grad, and lifelong bball fan.  I wish you the best of luck.  You will do great if you just coach the hell out of those kids and respect our traditions, you will be well loved.

I **** you not, I got a mediocre “thank you” and the dumbest f—ng look I’ve ever seen in my life.  I told my wife on the way out: something ain’t right with that dude and he won’t last long.

No personality, no charisma, just a dumb blank stare.

All that to say: DD is not that dude.

LMAO. If you’re friend hasn’t heard Brad say he wants to coach at IU and his biggest regret was not taking the job in 2021 then he’s not that close.

Just stop with the Stevens stuff. Completely false. Always was.Take your lumps and it will be forgotten in a day or two.
