That sucks! I was hoping very much he would be able to create his own path. I hope he comes back strong.

Yep, now that he’s long gone after hanging a banner; the NCAA will give him a show cause for impermissible phone calls etc... But they will continue to look the other way on fake classes and degrees at UNC dating all the way back to Dean Smith. Plus, why hand out punishment to all the schools caught on tape colluding with handlers to give players 100K in cash or better? Nothing to see there and certainly nothing to give anything like a show cause penalty all the while undermining the whole reason for student athletes that is their main function. If you’re not playing the game of cheating and lawyering up, you get left behind on championships and non punishments. Just another reason why I hate this corrupt organization and a perfect example why they are no longer needed in big time college athletics. I wish they weren’t located in Indiana anymore. They’re a joke and everyone knows it. Just look at their high level compliance officer balls deep in the agent/players/ coaches/ shoe companies payment schemes. F the NCAA!

Indiana will play Loyola Chicago in a secret scrimmage on Oct. 28 in Indianapolis, source told @WatchStadium. Can’t wait to see them try and keep @JeffRabjohns from breaking into Bankers Life. ...

Do the thing where they charge admission and donate it to charity and watch them sell out Bankers Life.

Well, he did shotgun a can of “water.”

I remember Chris Dudley as being especially notable for his free throw shooting. Kinda like if Big Pritch had made it to the NBA.

Just Googled him and it seems that he was the second worst FT shooter in NBA history!

 

Chris Dudley: .458

This journeyman center stayed in the league for 16 seasons and compiled the second-worst free-throw percentage ever.

A low light: missing 17 of 18 free throws in a 1990 game. Another one: Getting five chances in 1989 to make a free throw on a single play (lots of lane violations) and whiffing on all five. "I wasn't good at free throws," Dudley reportedly said. "Neither was Shaq. So really, you could describe my game as Shaq-esque."

I stink on defense guess you could say my game is Nash-esque

Memphis Madness is over. Wild crowd. 18,000 strong. Yo Gotti. Moneybagg Yo. Blocboy JB. But let the record show neither Justin Timberlake nor Drake were in attendance

would’ve been wise for Memphis to squash the Drake/Timberlake stuff quickly. A few extra tickets sold isn’t worth leaving fans with a taste of disappointment after an otherwise great event.

For instance, on my way out of FedExForum, not one fan stopped to tell me how awesome it was. Literally every comment was about Drake and Justin Timberlake.

I guess that’s one way to get people in the seats. Lol

Five years ago he was coaching middle school. 

Maybe recruiting will get him there; with Wiseman, Watford, Ramsey, and Precious in the mix for his '19 roster he could be competitive in a hurry.

But maybe not. And even if it goes well, he has NBA coaching aspirations in bold font that I can read between every current line.
