IU Basketball News and Notes

I mean this in the most sincere possible way:

F—-. That. Guy.

[Dave from Dayton 4,104]

Dan Dakich will say anything to get attention.  That is his job.  And when he comments on losses...he certainly knows a lot about getting those when he coached.  Ignore him and he will go poof.

All 3 of them stuck with IU over a coaching change (from a crap coach to a garbage coach, neither of which they hired) and gave their all to the team. What does DD want, for them to abandon IU and never return? What a D-bag. He's bitter because even though they had mediocre results, IU welcomes them. He won and still no one wants him around.

LOL, the guy would call his grandmother a  stanky hoe, if it got him clicks.

Dan Dakich sold his soul to Twitter/X and podcasting. You have to be perpetually angry to survive in that industry.

This was great work by Field of 68.  Worth your time.  Not a ton new to us diehards that follow everything but seeing the personalities of Conerway, Bailey, Wilkerson, Connor, and Tucker was worth it by itself.  
 

Also of note, Wilkerson putting up 850/1000 on the counter from 3 and being like 97% from FT is the news I need after the Leal/Galloway shooting experience from SG.  
 

Now only if we had Wilkerson on last years team and only played 2 of Ballo, Reneau, Mgbako at a time with a coach like DeVries we might have had something special.

Couldn’t tell exactly but it looked like Wilkerson made 5 wing 3’s in a row as they were asking DDV the 1st question. Does this old heart good.

Loving listening to this. How many times has USPS said through the years, “Just hire a professional college basketball coach and the guy WILL succeed here.” Whenever you listen to DDV he’s just a straight up, no frills guy with a vision. Kind of feels like a Rick Barnes sort of you-ain’t-ever-losing-‘cause-of-coaching situation and with the available resources here that has a chance to be consistently really good. Very happy.

I don’t know if it will matter much to his level of success at IU, but I think I like his personality the most out of any of the coaches we’ve had this decade.

He just seems like a normal dude. Crean was a scatterbrained lunatic, Archie was a serial killer, Woody cans his own farts. DDV seems like a solid hang and about as regular as a bball coach can be.

Archie couldn’t sustain success long enough to become a serial killer

There will be an intrasquad scrimmage at AH to supplement the Kirkwood event.   7 p.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 3.

I'm glad this gives folks a chance to get into AH.
