Per multiple sources, Indiana assistant Kenny Johnson is expected to join the staff at Louisville. #Terps had also been involved.

This pisses me off far more than the Etherington/Hollowell transfers etc...... When do we start asking WTH is going on with the program.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,386]

Seriously?

[bronkonagurski 894]

Louisville or Maryland, not a tough choice imo.  Goes to a higher profile program while avoiding the awkwardness of competing directly against his former team in-conference.

I think it makes total sense. Go where the money is with a legendary coach who has proven to get his assistants head coaching jobs. Wish him well.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,386]

Money? Is that really the issue???

Have you been in hibernating in the wheel well of an airplane for a year?  I think there has been quite a bit of WTF opinions being put forward!  ;)

Why look farther into it than necessary? He's getting paid more to go to a better program and be under a better coach. So, to answer your question, no I guess. But not necessarily for the reason(s) you're implying.

I have been following everything very closely. That's why I am so pissed. When does the fanbase get some answers.

Do we know he is getting paid more? Easy excuse. He wouldn't have stayed if we matched anyway. Just disgusting. This doesn't hurt us going forward necessarily but it partly explains our problems this last half year with recruiting et al.

Even if he isn't getting paid more, he is going into a better situation. Can't say that I blame him at all. And I think this does hurt us going forward. DMV is a crucial recruiting area and I think it was Kenny that had the relationship with Uncle Boo more than it was Crean.

Now we have an even more fractured team possibly. 3 of our projected starters are KJ disciples and another big time guy of the bench in TW, Stan, JB2, and ROJO. This can't be good for these guys. My gosh. I knew he was gone when news broke, as I even started this thread but Damn.

Probably never. 

[Banksyrules 4,802]

Man I really liked him.  He had great chemistry with the kids.

I realize that word is far too strong but Rojo, Troy, and Stan are strongly connected to KJ. JB2 very close to KJ also, maybe not the same but........

These guys were clearly recruited by KJ.

Well there goes the DMV.
