respectfully, absolutely no use to see a VIP board from another site, personally.... buuuuuut what do you pay a month? I do have paramount plus now. 

Not sure I don’t pay monthly.  One time a year and I absolutely use the vip for other sites insiders opinion especially when IU gets back into high school recruiting.   Always nice to see a different perspective

His record has improved as the ACC has gotten steadily awful. 

It is just not that impressive if you look at his overall time in clemson. Cronin to me is much more impressive if stevens says no

Oh, no, not all the way. Barely scratched the surface but I'll spare everyone from more.

The piece of info that gives me hope is Scott is looking at adding a GM. That is something that we probably need anyway with NIL and the portal but it sounds like a request from say....an NBA guy. 

What if Brad wants to be the GM?  :)

I'm coming around to this as well....sure he hasn't been around D1 that long....but you don't win 4 National Championships at D2 without knowing what you're doing.  He has moved up on my list as well...

Just listened to Fran Fracilla on the radio and they were talking about McCollum 

 

 He said McCollum reminded him of a young John Beilein with how they play and the path they have taken in their coaching career

Agree. It isn't even close

[HoosierCoop]

Honest question (and there may be but slipped my mind):

Name a (or multiple) former IU players that would be considered "A-list" or "successful"?

The former IU player coach project should be buried at this point.

[Hornsby]

He took a gamble on which side to go with.  Woody was coming off his first year where he got IU back to tourney so it was still unknown about Woodys future.  Fife was just an assistant.  Rabbys job depends on access. I’m guessing most in his spot would go with the school and head coach to keep his  access flowing.    Fast forward 2 years and he does a hit piece on the head coach as well thinking he would be gone after last year.    He chose wrong and has said he has talked  and had dinner with Fife and talked it out 

But isn't fife considered a legend? He went to a championship game. Something Woodson never did. I mean they treat Woodson with kid gloves at iu cause he is a legend we are told Yet fife could be discarded and trashed by rabjohns. I guess there is a double standard.

At 10m/year, he can have any many job titles as he wants.

Armond Hill’s Napping Chair (all rights reserved)

The reason the retirement announcement took so long was negotiating custody of the napping chair.  As no one was able to get Armond out of it, it's going with him.

You mean like doctors, lawyers and incredible talented energy traders or do you mean in basketball?

Mike Woodson

[Hornsby]

Yep. I know he talked it out with Dane but I've never seen any time of public retraction. Instead, he alienated Fife to about half the fanbase. 

Yes he did. Many people now do not like fife and still believe the hit piece. Once the hit piece goes out some will believe it no matter what happens in the future. It was bush league.

Fife was a marginal role player. 

Woodson was B1G POY. 

 

not really comparable as players, the "kid gloves" I have no clue on.

This reminds of something Mark Titus said about Tom Crean's recruitment of Kyle Guy...

"Crean had the ball 1st & Goal on the 1, dropped back, turned around, and threw the ball as far as he possibly could"
