DeVries has never gotten a technical in his career. That’s concerning 

At least Archie accidentally tossed a towel on the court then decided to play transition D a couple years ago at Rhode Island.

TD 7-0….game off.

It occurred to me…How did DD get through the interview process….what questions did he answer to make someone oh yeah!  Let’s hire that guy.

Answer:  DD “I am going to let you know that Brad Stevens is just not coming to IU.”

Winners don’t constantly make excuses.  We have resources. We have a stage.  We have a lot of things to offer. Gotta sell a vision.  And be convincing.  
 

DeVries didn’t do his job.  

Unless you have a bona fide guy in this particular job, very few high end players will want to come here to play. It'll have to be a name that sells the product now, because there is no proven product here and hasn't been for some time. Scott caught lightning in a bottle on the football field. For his next trick he's gonna have to catch a whale on the basketball court.

I doubt we will ever know, but I wonder how many guys were ahead of DeVries that either turned us down or took other jobs before we could offer? Because if this is the guy Dolson wanted after an exhaustive search, I'm starting to think he just got lucky on Cig!

7 pages of a game thread in conference play……

This season is effectively over.  Not going to get much excitement.  I think this game is going exactly like most of us thought it would, which is a problem in and of itself.

Wow, if it wasn’t for the chance that the Championship trophy and football team being at the PUke game Tuesday, I would sell the rest of my season tickets! I’m not even sure a full season in the portal can help at this point for next season.

I’m tired of the excuses.  Create a vision, sell a vision, and have resources to back it up. That’s all it takes. 
 

Bad hire.  Not sure what the vision was.  Not sure he knows either.

Would anyone buy you tickets?

Actually, and I keep repeating myself, the Cig model is the model to copy.  He didn’t have any “high end” players.  Coached the crap out of them and won games.   This season, still didn’t have a bunch of “high end” players.  Fernando developed into one. Got Coogan in from ND.  Coached and Won it all.  Now look, a bunch of players want to jump on the bandwagon.
