Interesting...as I recall those two and Mike Roberts coming as an assistant were pretty broadly known before being officially announced. Not suggesting this person doesn’t know but, for example, I could’ve predicted those without any insider knowledge. So...this is sticking one’s neck out further.

One of his posts said "expect Anthony Leal to commit to IU around 4:30"..I'm pretty sure he did...I was at a golf scramble that day and it was the late afternoon. Only someone with inside info would say that.

Scott dolson is going to hold a press conference and say that Archie coming back was an easy decision. After watching the last four years Archie has proven to be a “double check plus”

If there is a press conference tomorrow something will leak tonight or in the morning. In this day and age very rarely is there a press conference and people don’t already know what will happen.

She told Archie that he’s a used car salesman, which doesn’t make sense to me because used car salesmen are usually charismatic and Archie has the charisma of the chair he sat Lander in for most of the season.

Nope.  IUBBInsider is just an alias Sam Story uses.

Things change. If Archie is kept, players transfer, he may be begging ppl to play.

Here is the thing. You issue a press release or statement if it’s status quo and Archie is staying.

You don’t hold a press conference unless you are making changes.

Are you related to OldFriend?

Per Zach Osterman, we've already made a decision not to participate (page 1772 of College Bball Thread)

Ha, no! What am I missing?

Dolson is a worse AD than Fred Glass and I didn’t think that that was possible. I wish there was a way to get the entire fanbase to boycott and make them play in front of an empty Assembly Hall. IU doesn’t deserve anyone’s time or money. 
 
Oh well, a half empty Assembly Hall gets the same point across. A whole lot of people’s winter calendars just cleared up. 

Why? Because he hasn't said anything yet? If Indeed he doesn't fire him, I will agree with you. Because he hasn't said anything in 3 days, doesn't make him worse. Crean wasn't fired for a week.

OldFriend is a poster that was very active on the boards for a long time. I saw OldBuddy show up and thought maybe...

IU tipped an NIT game at 9 pm on a Tuesday in Atlanta and Crean was fired at noon on Thursday.

so this season (maybe due to Covid?) the usual obligation of invited teams to participate has apparently been waived

So, is the Reddit poster who predicted a press conference tomorrow Sam Story?

That would not be optimal.

Again that wouldn’t make sense. You wouldn’t have a damn press conference to say nothing is changing. You issue a press release because then you don’t need to answer questions from the press. If he has a press conference to say nothing is changing he is going to be getting hammered by the press asking questions.

 

Press conference= coaching change.

I would think if the money has been raised and there are interested coaches that the administration would just make the move....especially knowing the negative effect keeping Archie would have on sales and merchandising, etc..

Maybe the coaches weren't as interested as it sounded?

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,182]

If what Landers mom text Archie is true he’s gone! Regardless of his performance this year he’s gonna b good! We’ll probably get Durham back for a 5th year which will definitely put my fandom on ice! 

I missed it if it was in the game thread. What was said?
