bodsbums Posted January 17, 2025 Posted January 17, 2025 FWIW- over on Bleacher Report a person who normally has fairly reliable information says that Beard has reached out to Pat Knight… they are apparently friends which has been mentioned somewhere in this massive thread…. And let Pat know that he is interested and would come. I have no special knowledge and sorry if someone else has previously shared this. It’s hard to keep up. I also don’t have a strong opinion about whether beard should or should not be a candidate- that has been discussed by numerous others here already.

HoosierInParadise Posted January 17, 2025 Posted January 17, 2025 I feel like the entire goal of Mike Woodson's tenure at IU was accomplished when Bob Knight came out onto the court. That's it....I don't think QB cared about wins and losses or anything else. QB and MW wanted to be the ones to bring Bob Knight back...Sent from my SM-S928U using BtownBanners mobile appOops...he came back before MW was named coach....got the dates wrong...Sent from my SM-S928U using BtownBanners mobile app cybergates 1

Popular Post Hoosierfan2017 Posted January 17, 2025 Popular Post Posted January 17, 2025 I’d be all aboard the Beard train. He has his issues, but as a basketball coach, chances are whoever we end up with won’t be as good of a coach as him. Ryno6284, Kentuckysucks, Loaded Chicken Sandwich and 8 others 10 1
mdiu28 Posted January 17, 2025 Posted January 17, 2025 I'm cool with Beard and his baggage as well. That's just where I am at this point in my life and my IU fandom. I want to win. Tired of not getting past the Sweet 16. I just feel like they'll be a divide in the fanbase. Plenty will oppose that hire. That alone is why I don't think IU will even think about it. The moral compass in the SEC is just different than the Big Ten and certainly IU. He fits in down there. Not sure he does here. That said - the fans will rally behind a winner.
