[Jeff Flabjohns]

While we were getting our doors blown off in Atlantis, Dolson was talking with the coach who was stacking impressive wins there

Have you started the "Fire Coach DeVries" thread yet? 

I suspect people make fun if some Indiana fans because they are fickle... and they whine and complain about a coach before they are formally introduced...

Not sure why I would start that thread. I like the hire. I don’t think people make fun of IU fans because they are fickle. They make fun of some fans because they are delusional.

Let me guess, we’re never going to have to hear “it’s not my job to get [insert player name] shots”

Quote

From Creighton's media session earlier today in Lexington:

Q. Coach, in about 45 minutes one of your former assistants, Darian DeVries, is going to be announced as the coach at Indiana. What can you tell people about Darian and why he would be a good fit at IU?

GREG McDERMOTT: I think it's a terrific hire, D-Rock was with me for eight years. I kept him on staff from Coach Altman's staff when I got the job at Creighton, and it was the single best decision I made when I got there. Maybe having Doug join me was a close second.

But he's such a worker and such a grinder. He has a way of connecting with people and bringing the best out in his players because they're going to see the passion on a daily basis that he goes about coaching his team. He's got a wonderful family. They're going to fit great in Bloomington, and I think they will be very happy with the result

I think we should abbreviate coach as DDD  (Darien Dale DeVries). Just looks cooler imo.

So I keep hearing D-Rock's first name two ways: 

Dare - ee -- in (the "I" in Darian is pronounced)

or 

Dare-in (like the traditional Darren) 

Anybody know for sure? 

 

 

We will know shortly... 5 mins to the presser...

Well at least something good came out of Atlantis.  :)  

Yes this morning I watched a little bit of the OT win WV had over Gonzaga and it showed the quarterfinal bracket of us getting thumped by UofL. I then wondered how the relationship with Scott & Darian formed.

Stream is live now but I have a black screen... Guess we will start right at 10:30 when the 2001 Kansas vs Illinois replay is over on BTN lol

Scott might have started by asking him about their scouting of Indiana and heard some pretty honest, disappointing things about our team/sets/staff/etc lol

he also would have watched him coach against Miami in 2023 in Albany. Drake was up 8 with 4:30 to go in that game and Tucker had the worst shooting game of his life. Drake should have beaten Miami that night. Miami went to the F4

Yeesh. With 4:30 to go vs Miami we were down, what, 20?

LOL whatever you say man. You fooled the people that mattered. Go Hoosiers

 

fooled

1. trick or deceive (someone); dupe.

This is the second time you’ve accused me of attempting to “fool” someone with information.  I actually sat on the info for a few days (as you know) until it was clear there would be a Brad backlash due to unreasonable expectations.  My intention was to get fans looking ahead versus pining for what would not be.

 

Not sure why my info was considered an attempt to “fool”.  Especially when we all know the outcome.

I love seeing the WVU fan crash outs. It’s good to have a new coach whose fanbase is angry about him leaving. 

Sad that so many Indiana fans are crashing out over this hire...
