good guards are worth it IMO...

All positions are important. This final 4 is packed with exceptional big men

Semantics.

Paying him a whole lot isn’t necessarily “overpaying” if paying him a relatively large portion of the budget is a good use of the budget.

Very few of these guys are actually worth what they’re being paid. A guy like Cupps is allegedly getting paid $600k. He’s “worth” a scholarship and board, imo. But in this anything goes landscape a player is worth whatever a school is willing to pay, and some schools are willing to pay basically anything to win.

We're not running a business. We're trying to win basketball games. Being relevant in year 1 with a new staff is incredibly valuable (see Mich/UL). I don't have a problem paying above market rate if it means we're playing in the second weekend next March.

Maybe, but I’m willing to pay an absolute premium for 2 things: 1) an elite skill, and 2) a kid with a giant chip on his shoulder and a desire to prove everybody underestimated him. That kid’s got’em bith.

You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think P5 basketball isn’t a business

It is but his point is correct.

The last 4 years wasn’t run like a business. That is the results you end up with.

Not in the sense that it's trying to return a profit for its investors. The investors (boosters), not the athletic department, are the ones who would be paying the most for players. For them, the return is winning games.

I am well aware how an athletic department is run. Paying a talented guard a few hundred K more than market value doesn't move a needle. Some of you guys will argue semantics in your grave.

So are you saying that IU is going to look to Money Ball this rebuild?

I’m saying I’m glad we have the right people handling the money this year.

I refuse to believe Reed Bailey actually will be a Hoosier until Kent Sterling says so!

Yep, the offense should be great. I’ve always said shooting translates and it will. Off ball movement that lacked so horribly from Woodson’s teams will be back with a vengeance. Can also play 5 out with Bailey which is unique.

Can Tucker not guard a 3? Asking because it seems the Bailey kid would be a perfect 4 and we definitely need rim protection at the 5.

Not effectively for any extended amount of time. He lacks lateral quickness and just quickness in general.

If I remember correctly he shot it pretty well his sophomore year and last year until he separated his shoulder
