Alright mods, isn't it time to shut down the domestic violence discussion or move it to another thread? I'm tired of scrolling through slap fights about this when we haven't even fired CMW yet.... I'm all for discussing potential candidates but this has gotten out of hand

Serious question for the holier than thou crowd. If beard is hired will you quit watching and supporting IU out of principle? I would think morally you would have too if what you say holds any water.
 

Yes, I've already stated that in this thread that I would not only stop watching and supporting the basketball team, I would actively root against them. After the last 25-30 years, it wouldn't be nearly as hard as it would've been 25 years ago. They might not get me back as a fan.

I would still root for other IU sports like football, soccer, swimming, and women's basketball.

This thread going off the rails is why I'm even more confident now that Beard will not be IU's next coach unless the IU brass want to fracture the fan base. I know they don't read this board but they have to be aware what the effect of hiring someone with Beard's background of domestic violence would be.

So am I. Especially after Duke lacrosse. I can't even imagine the meltdown on here by some if we hire beard. Because he is guilty guilty guilty to them. No trial needed . In fact they would likely vote guilty before opening statements

Not going to go deep into the Beard situation, but two things can be true at the same time.  He could have beaten his girl friend, as the police report and pictures suggest.  The could also not be enough evidence to arise to a criminal conviction -- mitigating circumstances are a defense.  Bottom line, there are enough guys that can coach out there we don't need the baggage that Beard brings.  Carry on.

I'll ask you this... ever had the police completely botch a situation/not get the full story and you spent a night in jail because of it? And then those charged were dropped within the week because they were COMPLETE bogus to begin with? 

I have. 

Can't say I have.  I've only had a couple of speeding tickets(way back in my younger days). Only time I've seen the inside of a county jail or prison, was when I went on a couple of tours to see what we woukd be doing as National Guard soldiers in case Corecction officers w we nt on strike.

With your post, I can understand why you are want to know exactly what happened.

What could possibly justify laying hands on a woman? The answer is never.

Looks like you're fishing for a reason to justify why Beard did what he did? No?

Another know a nothing talking in absolutes. Shocking.

Good you would need to. You have to practice what you preach. I have never been arrested or charged with a crime but I don't consider myself morally superior to anyone. Plenty of born again Christians who have done really bad things in their past. I am not one to judge others, but hey that's just me.

You're the one calling those opposed to Beard being hired as "holier than thou crowd." That is literally judging others. I guess we'll add "judge" to the list of words you use without understanding them.

After watching last night's highlights did Woodson tell them not to attempt getting over the hump last night? The early three pointers wisconsin had were so wide opennits as if it was 5 on 3. Man I gotta get these guys to understand you gotta bring it. But it's early in the season.

Actually, once i saw the video(albeit a couple years after it was released, I told my wife it was time for him to go when he did that and the video was released. 

Yeah sure you did. So you were not OK with that, but OK with him fighting a cop, shouting at opposing team fans, throwing chairs, using a whip on a player, firing a starting pistol at a reporter though?

Holy smokes you folks putting up some pages today

Alright play time is over.  Drop the domestic violence discussion that’s going back and forth or the fun thread is going to get shut down.   I tried with the calm down gif but now it’s time to drop it.   Either side drop it or take it to a PM

It would not be a jury. They would vote guilty before the opening statements. I sure as heck would not what any of these guys deciding my fate if let's say I got charged with a made up assault. I'd be guilty no matter what. Unbiased jury. Lol.

LET IT GO

[mdiu28 2,097]

The last couple pages of this thread are ridiculous.

We get it. Some of you say absolutely no to Beard while others are willing to look past his baggage. 

Lets move on. He'll be considered. He's one of the best coaches out there - there's no doubt. All Scott needs to do is call the Texas AD and find out whatever he legally can. A decision to either keep him on the list of cross him off will be made quickly.

Man you all churned so many pages out my legs are static from sitting on the toilet so long catching up.

Agree.  When do we think Woodson is done?   It’s gotta be tomorrow or end of season, right?!?

[coonhounds 9,698]

Yes, I'm putting this on my calendar for tomorrow or Friday. 

U hearing good things?

I missed that … but hope it’s true!  
 

This season and experiment is over.

Feels like I’ve been reading the same back and forth on Beard for the last month
