Darian DeVries - New IUBB Head Coach

[HoosierInParadise 1,604]

Many say that Woodson thinks he did a good job. I was thinking that maybe he thinks this because he was actually running things like he ran his NBA teams. Maybe he has always delegated tasks to everyone else and he just ran the team for games. Obviously this is not the way to run a college program, but maybe he was less lazy and more just stubborn to run it his way....or maybe both. I'm just glad we have a new coach that seems like he's going to work his tail off to make each season a success.

I'm a traditionalist so it will be CDDV or DDV for me.

 

What are the 3 D's in D3?

Force nicknames a cringy to me.

I was big time skeptical at first. 

But he wants to be here and wants to work his a$% off. 

Also has a vision for a system. Talked in depth about locker room culture. 

I think he is going to be here a long time. Just a gut feeling. 

He better be, I’m not trying to go through another AI driven coaching search in here until I’m retired.

I know if I had his name I would wear Devries Nutz jokes out.

If we’re lucky he’s Greg McDermott minus 12 years and with IU resources.

And maybe a championship or two

Darian Dale DeVries

He already has a nickname that people call him.  Why not just go with that?  DRock is unique and memorable.

We, as a board, really need to come to a consensus on what we are going to call coach!  DD is Dan Dakich, so no.  I've seen D3, CDD, DDV.

My vote would be for CD3. What say you, BTB?

I feel like CDV makes the most sense. CDD looks and sounds weird. D3 and DDD are DOA. DRock is too personal; that's what you call someone you know well and interact with regularly. We are not those people.

Coach DeVries. CDV. That's my vote.

 

Edit to add: in Dutch, the name DeVries would be stylized de Vries. Really the capitalized letter should be the V, which is the first letter of a proper noun (Vries, the Dutch word for Friesland). The name means "of Friesland" in Dutch. Friesland is a region of northern Netherlands, for context. So CDV even can work for Coach Darian DeVries. Maybe I'm making too much of this. Just giving my thoughts. lol this really doesn't matter

I like CDV....but how about bringing them all together with CDDDVRock

I dunno, “Not Mike Woodson” has a nice ring to it, probably too long for a nickname though.

"The Hump Destroyer" maybe?

In 2021, Scott was about to poop the bed. He tried the same hail Mary for Stevens, then Matta was physically incapable. Then he was a deer in the headlights. Buckner jumped in and pulled Woody out of his butt. This hire was another panicked Scott Dolson pulling a late Monday night move that Pam wouldn't say no to. If DeVries doesn't win the hs coaches over in S. Indiana he'll lose the state and you can start the clock. 

Clearly you have no idea what happened. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
