Darian DeVries - New IUBB Head Coach

[94Bulldog]

Per my sources, DeVries 16 yr old daughter voted for the move during her high school years.  Steven ‘s daughter was still a no and that’s what it came down to….

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.

How do you think those records look if the teams had flipped coaches

Well I made parol but have to live with my mother in law for four years to prove myself.

On half the NIL with a key player injury.

Oh joy! Let’s go ‘all in’ on projected success and should’ve done …absent a couple of  excuses.

A lot. I’m really excited. With our resources he should be elite.

So this would be an interesting thing; I'm open to this. Think the resources would make a lot of coaches successful, and IU will give many more resources than WV. A couple questions:

• Is it concerning that his teams don't hit the offensive glass and don't get to the line? That's been true even at Drake. This year, it led to them not being a very efficient offense at all. 
• Is this year a defensive outlier? He's never had a defense nearly as good as this year's. 
• What is the offensive ceiling? It seems like teams need to be at 120 points per 100 possessions, and his best team at Drake only got to 115. His offensive efficiency numbers look a little too much like Archie's for my comfort.

That’s what we’re about to find out!  Just seems a bit high risk…to point to excuses and say what might have been if they had…

Don’t think it’s a panic hire at all. Think he was on the list last year had we moved on from Woody

I’ll be glad to be wrong

IU would’ve finished near the top of the B1G and a protected seed.

So now we know what to expect next year. 

[AZ Hoosier]

So, how much NIL are we giving DeVries?

No clue, that was one of the major reasons why he didn’t go to Iowa.

Didn't some vouch for that bozo? Wasn't RTZ an insider in HSN? Did I read that here or am I going crazy? (Either could be true at this point)...

 

He left HSN because the mods told him to stop pumping the Stevens drivel

At first, it was Brad ******* Steven’s.  
Now it’s it’s **** Brad Stevens. :-)

100% behind DeVries 

[IU5355]

So what do we know so far about his style of play?

I've been looking at highlight clips on YouTube which obviously doesn't tell much. 

[hoopsta007]

I don’t get it. Would have been nice to get some good news after selection Sunday but here we are.  It may all work out and I know we fans are just supposed to be supportive but just once it would be nice to be pleasantly surprised and not just accepting 

[Hoosier DaDa]

I just hope DD is a better cook than Woody.

Indiana is paying $6.15 million for the buyout? What donor got suckered into that?
