It was in alphabetical order....Thank goodness.  I give it about a negative 1000000% chance it would be Alford, but they probably still felt obligated to put him on the list.  I will quit watching IU if they do. 

Moreso just a sign of a bad list alphabetical or not. lol

One factor to think about is a prospective coach's experience with NIL players.  We talk about how much $$ we have for NIL, but the most talented ones want money, PT, and an opportunity to showcase themselves.  I'd argue that those players are quite different than the players Stevens had at Butler.  There has to be some question of either how well he can succeed with ego-driven mercenaries or can he build more in the traditional way at IU.  IDK, but I'm inclined to believe he'd be more successful going more the traditional route.

Brad Stevens remains my #1 choice BTW.

The fact Stevens doesn’t have an extension is pretty telling 

[Hornsby]

Some investigative reporter in Indiana would probably generate some notoriety for themselves by digging into the Quinn Buckner era and writing an exposé. I’m sure there is plenty to cover and probably enough publicly available info to paint a very unpretty picture. 

So much shady stuff went on imo it's probably unreal

Nothing worse than rich and powerful people who feel they are above accountability. Kick this guy to the curb Scott. He doesn’t deserve an ounce of good will.

Where is the official announcement and social media video thanking him for "bringing Indiana back"?

 

 

King Mike Woodson we want to thank you for finally getting Indiana “over the hump” 

 

The Hump:

I would love this.  FOIA some emails.  I don’t know the conflict disclosure requirements, but I bet Woody is a client of Quinn’s wealth management firm and I also bet they do real estate deals together.  
 

Quinn’s cronyism and neglect of IUBB has been disgusting and disgraceful.

So....when is this press conference or news release happening?

I think you would see more of the Matt Painter approach with Stevens with recruiting. I don’t see him hitting the portal to fill an entire roster (may have to year 1) but hitting the portal to fill a missing piece or 2.

No.  Just don't.

I do not like personally attacking anyone.  This includes Woodson and Buckner and Knight.  Maybe point out bad decisions, but why toss old players under the bus?  Even if they are doing crappy jobs in our opinions, say that.  Otherwise, it really is petty and seeking some sort of retribution.  

Oh well.  MHO.

You could argue those are quite different than the Butler kids, and I'd agree, not so much different than the NBA players he's working with now, though.

My opinion?  NIL, for one.  And #2, the contract Curt Cignetti got shows that we now have a president and AD extremely serious about athletics.  Coaches like Few and probably others might believe they can come here and put themselves on the Mount Rushmore of college basketball coaches.

Did he pay someone to drive his car up there, then came to work in a Lyft? LOL

Nope it was there from the night before after too many cigars got him feeling woozy

Most of what he said was worthless, but at the very end, I think he seemed to make it very clear that Woody is not wanting to go quietly   

Well it will be far from quiet tomorrow.

That’s fine. We can agree to disagree. This rises above being crappy at their jobs IMO. Petty and seeking retribution? Some call that justice, lol :) 

Why should we let them trample rules everyone else has to play by and destroy the basketball program in the process while making the university a laughing stock? Charges will never be brought but they can take all the public scrutiny they’ve earned. Don’t see a reason to run cover for them just to keep the peace.

Braden Smith, Jack Benter, and TKR wouldn't be Boilers, you say? Smh

Probably not Loyer, but he certainly wouldn't have been starting as a FR, maybe not last year.

The arrogance and entitlement of those two is just sickening.

Can't win a NC at Gonzaga. Needs a place that has plenty of NIL money. 

 

Plus plenty of fishing at Lake Monroe.

At my desk at the office for another day of blowing off work and refreshing this page.  Good luck to all my fellow "true fans" on not getting caught by your bosses today reading, posting and refreshing.  Cheers all and let's have a great weekend!
