Not reupping Tim Garl is a major slap in the face.

Except for Fisch, he is the face of IUMBB

The guy was going to turn 69 years old this year. Come on. 

Taking the Bomba allegations out of the equation, do people not actually retire anymore?

Just found out Nick Norton went to Central Catholic High School in Bloomington, IL, which was my high school’s rival, University High School. Not sure how I feel about the hire now. Those Central Catholic turds tried to fight me 25 years ago for hanging with their cheerleaders. #neverforget

We regularly play CC in basketball. University high beat us in a Supersectional game when they had that kid that went to Ohio State around 10-15 years ago.

Heard a crazy rumor but will leave it until it’s announced if true.  Someone I know heard it so it has some legs. 

Mark Turgeon is joining as an assistant?

Boomers don't retire. Their jobs are their lives.

I'm Gen X, but the Boomers I know have worked their a**es off and aren't whiny, self-entitled prima donnas...

carry on .. 

(and BTW, being Gen X- I couldn't give two sh*ts anyone's opinion of me).

This might be the most Boomer thing posted on this site.  

(I'm kidding boomers... kinda)

I'm an equal opportunity hater. Every generation sucks for their own unique reasons.

Wut? 

My dad was a boomer and when his company offered a bunch of people early retirement to downsize the company, he couldn't take that deal fast enough. LOL 

Lots of boomers retired early.

They were a generation of good savers. I do think we're still going to continue see people in certain positions (politicians, judges, coaches, etc...) who love power and are making a sh*t-ton of money continue to work forever regardless of their generation.

Still thinking we pull Murphy huh?  Man, that would be huge if true.  I watched him on the sideline in Alabama's last 2 games.  Very active with the players. I hope this is still true but Alabama is already pulling portal signings so IDK.  

It would be wild if DDV pulled in Murphy right after Murphy apparently pulled in Noah Williamson for Alabama.  I’m a bit skeptical on this one

Hmm... I'm not sure I'd call them "good savers" when they ran up the national debt by $30T+.  Just my opinion.

Agree to disagree though, IUBB should be uniting all the different generations on this board!

Let's get this Murphy guy and make some waves in the CBB world.

Uh...I'm not talking about politicians. That's an entirely different discussion and I have zero interest in talking politics.  

I'm talking about the personal savings rate, which generally stayed at or above 10% through the mid-1980s. It declined steadily after that.

Now let's get back to IU basketball again...

I wasn't talking about politics, that's the last thing I want to discuss on a message board.

Is Drew related to Mark Adams? Is Mark Adams his father? I forget the family history.

 

Nonetheless, welcome home, Drew.

I’m so confused why the rest of the coaching staff hasn’t been announced yet. Maybe still working out contract details?

Coming off like an unorganized mess. Hopefully it leads to a splashy hire that adds some juice. Feel like DDV will need energy out of his assistants. My next heartbreak is when we don’t get Murphy.

Most obvious answer is that he doesn’t have them yet. They could be on a team still playing, for instance.
