I love listening to this guy talking ball. Feels like we are in very good hands with DDV. 

He might be the first “normal” coach hire we’ve had since Knight was fired.

Maybe more jump shots in 3 minutes than we made all last year lol

Thanks, fun to watch. Get Bailey a sandwhich, he looks really skinny.

Not sure where else to put this.

At 8:30 tonight the B1G network is showing us beating the Toiletmakers in 2023, with TJD going off

There was an open practice today (first since Crean era) and a presser.

 

“First open practice since the Crean era” is so insane

Not sure RMK was normal but I get wat you mean. Kept hearing he had kind of an Archie personality but he seems far more personable and as you say, normal.

Hmm - 2 coaches who couldn’t coach didn’t want their practices open…. :)

So likely looking at a nine man rotation in Puerto Rico.

Knight was definitely not normal. But I too like what I am hearing and seeing so far. Seems like a total grinder, down to earth type of coach. A refreshing change of pace.

Encouraging assessment.  Conerway has a bit of “Razzle Dazzle”.  lol. 

Think "Xavier Johnson without the fast car and weed."

[Class of '66 Old Fart 92,638]

Just a quick clarification.  It was an "open" practice, i.e., open to the media but not to the general public at least from what I've read.

[Stuhoo 90,571]

As they said long ago about Reggie Jackson, this man will be 'The Straw that Stirs the Drink.'

An Xavier Johnson that was a better decision maker, both on and off the court, would be a pretty good player.

SIAP -- good writeup on the open practice

What about the nut punches?

I think today or yesterday was the priority deadline for Marquette tickets. Never applied for a game like that through my IU account before…anyone know how/when I’ll know if I got any? I’m assuming a ticket office email at some point so I guess I’m asking for when. 

Edit: Deadline is not today, but a week from today.
