What’s that have to do with his post? Just because you’re upset doesn’t mean you need to be throwing a tantrum on this board and going at a VERY well respected Stu.

You have zero idea how any of this works. 

About as much as you do:

I wasn’t. So, since those strike me as pretty reasonable questions given the vitriol with which you’re expressing your disappointment , how about taking me through it?
Being new to the game of basketball, I’d love to learn.

Nope. Don’t think so—I will check. But pms to see if people have a basis for their conclusions is a good idea!

So now that you put your conclusions about Devries on the open board, I’ll ask again; what is it about his resume, character, etc. that makes you feel so strongly that he is a terrible choice?

5th choice, says it all. Such incompetence by Scott to let it fall apart like this. Is this guy a top 10 coach in the country? Top 20? Top 50? We need to start to realize what we are. Outdated. Old. Forgotten. Irrelevant. Just an embarrassing day for Indiana Basketball.

5th choice? 10th choice? Maybe, we don't know. If we landed someone that far down the list and he was still a sitting P5 coach, like DeVries was, maybe we're not as bad off as some people (like you) seem to think.

Maybe he'll bomb. Maybe he'll be just okay. Maybe he'll end up being great. No one knows yet. I'm satisfied  (and optimistic) but not super ecstatic with the hire and plan to actually give him some time to show us what he can do.

He’s upset it’s DDv. Guy was hoping it’d be Stevens so he could parade around as a sourced guy on a free message board. Yikes.
