BA47591 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Connect with the patriarchs and well-ragarded high school coaches in the state. Win them over and you'll have all of the intel you need on the players to recruit in the area. Don't forget that's where your breads buttered and jump on the in-state 2027 group. A lot of talent there. NCHoosier 1 Quote

Others are Candy-stripes, William Tell time-out, etc. But absolutely no reason to try to force anything else, especially staff. I want Hulls, Calbert, Korey etc IF they are the best fit for the job. If not? Cut em loose. They will always be Hoosiers, but that doesn't mean they deserve to be on payroll. If non-Indiana guys don't "get it" then they are stupid and shouldn't be on the staff. Get the best/right staff and players to win. We can get picky about details after re-establishing IU as the best program in the Big 18. (Izzo & MSU can suck a big green one.)

During the early years of RMK, I doubt that he deferred to how things were done during the Branch McCracken years. LOL Or how Lou Watson did them. RMK had the utmost respect for older, winning coaches (and his mentors), but he did what he needed to do to win. That's what DDV needs to do. Just win.

I recall Sampson had told people he'd choke the sh*t out the IU job (presumably in a positive way, lol). If that’s the attitude we need in a coach, maybe Beard was the right choice.

He wasn’t coaching in a typical Knight game fashion and was content to let the lesson be learned. In that sense, he indeed let it happen. Edited March 22 by soindianahoosierfan Quote

Coach Knight is a special case in the history of college basketball. 100 wins at 30 years old. 2 banners at 40 and 3 total by 48. He admired Iba, Newell, Bee, Taylor, and I'm sure learned from them but he was fully formed in his 30s. That's not something that's common and probably unlikely moving forward. Coach DeVries needs to be himself. You can always grow as a coach and he should be fine. thebigweave, FWHoosier84 and str8baller 3 Quote
