Any idea who else we may have a line on? Is there a dead period that will keep us from signing anyone for a few days?

April 4-11  mainly from what I understand the coaches can still be in contact  just no on campus things

The elusive Scotty R double whammy! Both blame the fans and question why anyone would want to come to IU in the same post. 

Well maybe some day people like you will realize that the fans are part of the problem. We keep blaming the BOT, the President, the AD, and the coaches and we have had about 6 of each the last 25 years. The one constant is the toxic environment around the program which includes the fans. Why don't we just go through 10 more coaches and turn on them after year two and see how that works out. Go ahead and keep your heads buried and keep blaming everybody else.

This board should show you how nuts this fan base is when you have two different threads with 2000 pages about firing their coach

Does sending emails to the AD demanding the coach be fired help or hurt the “toxic environment”?

You’re right. Let’s bring back Mike Davis and sign him to a life long contract. No more expectations. Let’s meet the team where they are. So we have 3 players and the expectations are 0-33. Woot woot. That will surely set us up for success, lowering expectations and meeting them where they are. Yup. That’s the ticket.

Pickup trucks. Very large pickup trucks (apparently compensating for something….)

The constant is hiring bad coaches (Crean was the exception, he was okay/mediocre).

Our fanbase is our biggest asset as a program.  Almost all of the money for the program comes from the fans, and we need money to compete in CBB.

There was a 2,000 page thread on firing Woody because he was one of the worst coaches in college basketball.

It definitely hurts the program. Also I see some already questioning the new coach who has been here two weeks and hasn't coached a game yet. I see our fans ripping the national media with their pertrail of the fans at IU but maybe they see it better than we do

Can we please stop this nonsense?

I have a different irrational theory. Maybe it isn’t the fans, but rather it is the toxic message board fans criticizing the fans that are the real problem.

See, we can all play dumb games and win dumb prizes.

You are spreading some real toxicity right now.

I didn't say that but the expectations right now shouldn't be what it use to be. I don't buy that we as fans would be happy just making the tournament every year like one poster said.  If that was the case then Crean would still be here. Winning two big ten championships and making 3 sweet 16's in 6 years wasn't good enough.

Give UK our last 25 years, the only thing left of Lexington would be ashes. Fans aren't the problem; horrendous mismanagement is. Expectations aren't a bad thing.

Or we could start hanging banners saying we tried, just put the ones that actually matter in storage so no one makes the mistake of thinking this is a serious program.

And I admitted that wasn't a good idea and it didn't help a thing. Maybe if you learn from your mistakes it will make you a better person.

Woody won one tourney game in two years and going into Year 3 his approval was very high.

Crean made the tournament 4 times in 9 years. His two best seasons were followed by huge duds. Wouldn't have been good enough in the 90's and shouldn't have been good enough when he was here.

The thing at one time we were a better fan base than the UK fan base and we would never want to be like them. The problem is we are no better than any other fan base anymore because we want to just be like them and act like them
