Why can some posters say such crazy stuff about IU but nothing is ever said to them? 

I’d argue a ton is said to them. It gets hidden if deemed a personal attack, but plenty stays up. Somehow we still get dumped on from all sides lol. It’s why we get paid the big bucks though.

Used to me being right?   Cause that’s my schtick. Right about Crean 4 years before firing and Archie 2 1/2.  
 
Some people just want to ignore the signs

I respect your posts! And all posters on here! May not agree with everyone lol

You all know me, I try not to post anything I cannot substantiate. I was told by someone I trust that the 5 players were caught sneaking back into the hotel, smelling of, and possibly having, marijuana. That’s all I was told,  take it for what is is.

You don’t post info like that very often. I’m gonna take that as the current most likely explanation.

If they were good ones we would have wrecked Northwestern and the players would have loved the extra PT. This isn’t the first game we’ve looked like hot garbage. Always an excuse for our failures then some glimmer of hope for our future. Rinse, repeat. If any other team was undergoing what we are currently…….Trainwreck.

There isn't much separation between our 4-9 players, we play two that we feel should be on the bench but they're "shooters" so they have to start. (Ignore they can't rebound or defend) There will always be an excuse though. This one has the built in excuse of the suspensions, could probably throw in the road game, the "atmosphere" could have been used if we were at full strength too, Big 1.o officiating maybe.

We can completely ignore many of the same issues, free throws, rebounding, threes, scheme, etc. One thing we'll never run out of is excuses. We have plenty of those packed away until we're back!

Please explain what your definition of reality is.

A coach, 3/4 of the way through his first year, is going on his second consecutive season of missing the tournament?

I'll give you a hint: Not good math!

Heard the same thing about an hour ago. I’m much more frustrated with the sneaking out than the other thing.

I missed the game tonight I had to walk the dog I don’t own.   Bad game? 

[FightFor6]

It's not even good trolling. Just low energy trash talk from a sad "fan" that measures his self-worth based on the number of predicted failed coaching tenures and days logged onto a message board. What an achievement.

The strength of this team is players leaving after this year. The future does not bode well for year 2.  A year we look to have a harder big ten schedule

I love this.....he gets it. He is showing the nation that he gets it. The transfer portal may be accessed early and often for us after this season. Every good leader sets expectations and responds accordingly to those that do not or will not reach them. He came from a time where people were proud of the product on and off the floor. I think we will eventually have both again with Woodson at the helm.

Same place Coach Woodson does.

But I thought that happened in the off-season no? I mean he targeted a player and snagged them quickly, rercruited the players that he wanted.

3 game suspensions have to come from a failed drug test? Or can it be as simple as smelling or weed? I thought I read earlier per IU rules weed was a 3 game sit

Versus blindly supporting a coach that isn’t cutting it.  Yeah that somehow makes you more of a fan.

Bad dog.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

When is the last time you played basketball? The players were straight up gassed with 10 minutes left, any six players would struggle.

My entire life. State of the art training facilities with guys in the prime of their life…. Lol

Lots of good schools run 7 man rotations on the regular. It’s just more excuses. What was our excuse vs Syracuse, home vs Michigan, etc, etc, etc. we’ve rarely been good all year. The guys that were suspended aren’t great. We didn’t play Duncomb. He can play. Or he can’t. Gassed is a generic excuse.

Realist.  The fact we keep hiring bad coaches doesn’t make me a hater

I’ll gladly admit to bad info if it comes out, but this person is pretty close to the source.

Cool maybe it’s time for me to go someplace else so you can enjoy post of Brass? I get a talking to from administrators but he’s applauded. Are we rooting for IU or against them?
