that sucks -- but, with Woodson gone and DeVries bringing in his own staff, DeVries is running his bball team, Buckner's past support of Woodson is now largely irrelevant.

Let's hope that he doesn't start to stick his nose in the program if CDD has a little hiccup in the next 3 years.

Not sure where this should go -- more action on the alleged sexual misconduct against men's bball players by former team doctor Bomba. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/45444572/more-men-allege-sexual-misconduct-ex-indiana-team-doctor

Since the Fire Woodson thread, or whatever it’s called now is locked, didn’t know where else to put this…

With all the vitriol about Buckner in that thread, surprised that this forum hasn’t commented on the fact that he was re-upped by our current Governor for another term on the BOT.

Without getting too political, it's absolutely insane than an acting governor can take over replacing seats as they please. Replacing elected trustees doesn't sit right with me. I'm not a fan of Quinn sticking around, he's already set this basketball program back another half a decade getting his buddy hired.  As someone mentioned as well, I really hope he stays away from the basketball program, we don't need his guidance, nor does Scott.

Q.B. since he is going to be around may just decide sometime in the future to bring M.W. back in some capacity because of his new found professional brilliancy….. or Q.B. realizing in his own mind of his distinguished decision making In the future may have another name up his sleeve to push to bring on board.  That’s the way elitism works.

When was the last one of these you saw where a coach is busting a kid for getting lazy in a drill? Love it.

Reading between the lines on some comments from Hulls when I met him a few years ago, I don't think Woodson practices were especially intense.

I remember the video they posted on the first day of practice last year. It really said all that needed to be said about a Mike Woodson team/practice.

I also saw them practicing boxing out, what a novel concept!!

All right; Ill be that guy:

EVERY social media feed video from EVERY era of IUBB (including the Woodson era) shows best case scenario boxing out, team unity, work ethic, etc.

The proof is in how this team exhibits those characteristics against top-tier competition. I am optimistic and cannot wait to see, but only time will tell.

Oh ****. Well I certainly stand corrected!

Makes me miss Malik Reneau 'not'.

They are hype videos, but CDD seems to want them to work hard.  I don't think he will let them give up specially seeing how the Pacers don't give up till the clock is at 0.  Being not so far away from that scene should help inspire that in them.

To be fair, that video very well could’ve been a best case practice scenario for last year’s team… but, that’s why literally every single person in today’s video is different.

I have to admit: I always get hoodwinked. I watch these videos, get ramped up and then get extremely let down when the season starts and we actually miss shots.

After seeing those clips, I can't help but wonder what it'd be like to go throughout an entire season and not miss!

I don't understand the hate on Malik Reneau.  He was my favorite player on last year's team

Talking about that is getting people banned on PEEGs this week.

So pathetic. Opinions against the norm don’t seem to be accepted anymore

There’s been plenty of talk about that here in the BOT thread, and no one has been banned lol.
