Pearl and auburn have lost 3/4. Mark him off the list.

I think winner of the national championship games gets the Indiana job. Whether that’s by reward or punishment will be decided by social media.

What if you are him?

Gonna need a selfie?

“Will Wade wants the IU job above all other openings but can’t even get an interview” is not evidence of an incompetent search, it’s evidence that the search is complete

Well, that depends on who the guy at the end of the completed search is. It could entirely still be the sign of an incompetent search.

I watched beard  win at every single spot he’s been at with limited resources besides Texas and he had them ranked #1 in the country before he was let go.  Just hire the proven winner 

You watched him have two good seasons and a bunch that are 21-12 to be fair.

Indiana self reported some extra phone calls and got rid of him. Now he’s at Houston and they’re ranked in the top 10 every single year while we are on the bubble every single season 

Yes, after serving a 5 year show cause penalty... how many NCAA titles has he won at Houston? Ironically, the same number as Indiana during the same time frame.

He broke the rules at Oklahoma and Indiana still hired him... then he did it again... so yeah, we cut him loose.

I wonder why it’s locked. :D

The whole bet is locked now.  Does that signal an announcement incoming?

That wasn't what you said... You said "there's a difference" between not hiring and passing on a hire. I need you to explain the difference... instead of doing that, you made it about my personal bias. Admittedly, I don't want either of those guys, but that is irrelevant to what you said.

My point remains, neither Kentucky or Louisville hired Beard or Wade, so there had to be a reason beyond my "own personal bias". Stop being pedantic.

You know damn well you know the difference.  Own your comments or keep quiet pops.

I bet some, but rarely pay attention when lines are locked....but my question is this:  as it is directly under BB, does this mean it had the second most likely odds before locking?

He made some extra phone calls. And how many games has he won at Houston compared to Indiana in that time frame? lol do you think Kentucky or Kansas would of self reported some extra phone calls in the middle of final four caliber season like our stupid administration did?

I’ll see you in four years when we are hiring another coach then. I’m sure beard will be at North Carolina or Kansas by then. 

He won’t.  Louisville and Kentucky passed in the guy.

No I don't... my point is there isn't a difference, but you said there was... you can't defend it so you tell me to keep quiet? 

and getting off my lawn.

Because a bunch of people on this board went and tried to get the +5000 odds. Vegas and betting sites are in the business of making $.

This guy's now available.  Ah 4, the magic number.

UNLV has fired Kevin Kruger after four seasons

While I find your outlook generally way too negative, this is spot on.

No one will ever accuse me of being an optimist, but in the case of IU basketball, I think my IU fandom being entirely post-Knight warrants the extreme negativity. We’ve seen the IU administration make bad decision after bad decision for the better part of 25 years, and the rumors we’ve been hearing don’t give me much hope that this decision will be any different.

Did RTZ delete his post? Saw it quoted about wondering why it’s locked but can’t find the original.

If you need an explanation you won't understand the explanation.  I'm not wasting my time.  Just don't hit anybody on the way to the early bird special.

He’s won 78% of his games at Houston and made at least the sweet 16 in each of the last five tournaments. IU has four sweet 16 appearances in the past 30 years. You don’t hire a guy like Sampson in the first place if you’re just going to execute yourself at the first sign of trouble, yet that’s exactly what IU did.
