Oh yeah. Perfect hire. This is the match IU and Alford would have been if Alford wasn’t …….Alford  Woodson.

Fixed it for you. 

Seriously though, it kind of feels like there is about to be a sea change in college basketball with Williams and K retiring, Boeheim and Izzo getting close, and now Calipari talking about bolting back to the NBA. It couldn't be much better timing for Beard at Texas and hopefully Woodson here.

Calipari must think he needs another pay raise so the NBA rumors get dusted off.

Edit: Just ran into Coach Woody at Mother Bears. 

Have a day, recon!

A little star struck! Both were extremely nice, Tom was picking on my son (which had an IU jersey on) about being an IU player. Coach was nice, talked for a few minutes. Absolutely made my day, on top of celebrating my daughters birthday.

Boston might be looking for someone that's already a Masshole, he would fit right in. Please make it so.

Supreme Court unanimous decision isn't limited solely to basketball.  

...the NCAA itself can’t bar schools from sweetening their offers to Division I basketball and football players with additional education-related benefits. But individual athletic conferences can still set limits if they choose. A lawyer for the former athletes had said before the ruling that he believed that if his clients won, “very many schools” would ultimately offer additional benefits.

 

This quote is from the actual court ruling:  "NCAA couches its arguments for not paying student athletes in innocuous labels.  But the labels cannot disguise the reality:  The NCAA’s business model would be flatly illegal in almost any other industry in America."

I'm shocked at the 9-0 ruling that is a rarity but good thing they called bullcrap on the NCAA.

A 9-0 US Supreme Court ruling is not a rarity at all..

In fact, it is the most common ruling. Especially in the last 20 years.

Crazy article about Wisconsin basketball today from the Wisconsin State Journal. Players secretly recorded a meeting with Coach Greg Gard and released the recording. Lots of disfunction in BuckyLand.

Can't read it without registering. What is the gist of it?

Every single player hates Gard.

Not in a Bobby Knight “he’s really harsh but I’d run through a wall for him” way.

More of a “You don’t care about your players and I wish I hadn’t committed here” way. Also they hate him in a “after Kobe King left you said you’d change but you didn’t “ way.

 

 

[LamarCheeks 18,702]

I was able to read the article -- and this quote from the not-so-secret meeting struck me ... 

Later on, there's also quote from Travis Trice talking to Gard about how the players felt a disconnect with him. 

I almost feel like this could've been recorded in the SSAH locker room or the Cook Hall locker room over the past couple of years! 

 

“I just feel like, coach, we don’t have a relationship,” said Nate Reuvers, a four-year starter. “In my mind, it’s too late for that. I personally don’t think or feel like you care about our future aspirations.

I can’t talk to you. I just don’t want to talk to you. After this, coach, I don’t know what type of relationship we’re going to have, if we have one.”

You can since I did. Just close that window telling you you need to register and you can still read it.

I've tried on my phone. It goes back to this page. When I get on laptop, I'll try. Thanks

I'm all for discord and chaos in any other B1G program (especially Wisconsin!) but it's pretty chicken$hit to release all the audio of the complaints but not the coaches response. Whatever the case, let's hope UW B-ball AND Football start circling the drain.
