You do realize his hand was kinda forced with Woodson, right? I sorta feel like we've been over this many, many, many times. 

Do we really know that, though? Isn't that coming from the same sources that were clearly off on this search?

Funny how that happens

Just busting your chops @Pagoda lol

Gotta admit you were right lol.  At least I corrected the record when I knew I messed up.

I’m hearing Jordan Hulls will be retained. Expect Cody Zeller to be a named to a position as well. 

:) I said a while back I was hearing Cody would be a gm. Maybe not that specificity but sounds like my guy was right about him coming back.

It will be nice to have a coach that understands college basketball. That can build a program from scratch.  That actually recruits. That knows 3 is worth more than 2.  That is young and still learning… there are no guarantees that Devries succeeds, but we have a lot better odds to be an elite program today than we did yesterday.

New Indiana basketball coach Darian DeVries will be introduced at 11:30 a.m, Wednesday, in the press room inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Thanks old man

Not thrilled but will give him a chance.  Feels like a panic hire to me.  We shall see I guess.  Hoping for the best.

It will be a support staff role likely.

Clarification that tomorrow's press conference is media only.  It is not open to the public.

 

Wonder if any chance Adam Howard comes back.

I’m talking UK. They went 10-8 in conference this year…..I was told to link an article to Pope hiring. That does nothing as UK had a pretty **** year overall. If yall are good with mediocre, which it appears many of you are, let’s do it. 

I think the better point here is that UK’s first year coach who many didn’t think was an impressive hire had a “pretty **** year” in a much better conference while  securing a better seed than both PU and IL.

Note the dates. Maybe DDV was Scott’s guy all along?

I'm actually a little worried about this. How is Cody qualified to do this, exactly?

That's from many sources.

Literally sit second row behind the bench / scorers table every home game. If you ever wanna use my tickets, let me know big guy 

Can I use your tickets too please 

[DChoosier]

After a very disappointing season it’s good to see that we moved from a coach with  a 10-10 conference record, and barely missing the tourney, all the way up to a coach  with  a 10-10 conference record while barely missing the tourney.

I’d like to welcome home, Kory Barnett, a legend of Indiana Basketball.

However, please leave Tom Ostrom back in Morgantown, he doesn’t need to be an assistant here again. 

Hey you never know Ostrom has been reprogrammed by Coach DeVries.

So did Dolson call in a favor from the committee like "can ya'll go ahead and leave IU and WVU out of the field so we can get this search wrapped up, thanks"?

Ha.  Someone always knows.  I can’t say I would have believed IUAnon.
