  1. I would love for someone to sit right behind Buckner at a Pacers game with some creative signs.
  2. It is an insult to lazy people to group them with Mike Woodson.
  3. I'm not sure how I feel about booing Woodson during senior day festives, but I do know respect is a two way street and he certainly hasn't earned it with the lack of transparency and arrogance he's been using.
  4. I know you're not a Woodson guy, but I also don't think we are saying the same thing. I think you have to have the foundation of your team built through high school recruiting. If you look at any of the teams we want to be, that's what they're doing.
  5. While I agree with the second half of your post, there is a lot to debate about how accomplished he is from a basketball coaching standpoint. I'll just say this, if IU hires an NBA assistant coach, that has a below .500 career record as a head coach and hasn't had a head coaching job in 7 years, hasn't sniffed getting hired as a HC in the NBA since then, and even had a two season stint that they weren't an NBA assistant.... I think we'd all riot. So we can attribute whatever we want to why Woodson was hired, but let's be crystal clear it was absolutely not what he has accomplished as a basketball coach that was the driving force of that decision.
  6. This is incorrect man. High school recruiting is still important and more than half of the equation for roster construction.
  7. 100%. I was just going the basketball angle, but we have several BILLIONAIRE boosters, and then a ton more 8 and 9 figure millionaire boosters.
  8. Oh my goodness, Ware is the ideal modern 5. I would take him over any 5 we've ever had, every single year for the rest of time. His skillset is completely perfect for what you want in a modern big man.
  9. I think we are letting the wrong NBA owner booster have a lot of influence. Like how crazy is it that we have TWO NBA owners as boosters and can't even consistently compete for top 5 in our conference.
  10. I was thinking about that last night. What if we had landed Love, Knecht, and kept Bates.... I'm of course assuming we actually change styles too, but a lineup of Love, Galloway, Bates, Knecht, and Ware would be the most unstoppable offense in the country if we played the right way.
  11. My theory is he waited this long because he liked the guys, the campus, facilities, NIL, etc so he was holding out hope something would change either stylistically and then eventually just a new coach but keep all the stuff he likes. When that didn't happen his hand was forced. Again, just a theory but it's the best I can figure.
  12. Good news is we don't have to worry about that front court giving up points.
  13. Gee, what happened yesterday that would finalize that?
  14. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/pamela-whitten-1b386516a_yesterday-i-had-the-pleasure-of-introducing-ugcPost-7171551457538764801-j7QR?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android
  15. TKR has less than one two point attempt per game more than Anthony Walker. If Purdue is guilty of heavily posting up two guys because of TKR, then we are guilty of heavily posting up three. Now do I actually think we post up Walker a lot? No, but semantics and context are apparently not allowed.
  16. I am on a plane, so after the first few minutes didn't see it but 14 assists on 14 field goals is good.
  17. Very familiar with that look, yes.
  18. I wasn't really talking about Dolson's perspective, I was giving a hypothetical where Big Brain Buckner thinks he can bully everyone into submission.
  19. Yes, but refs study film and when you commit a lot of fouls and then make stupid faces when you do it, they call more fouls. Malik doesn't do himself or his team any favors the majority of the time.
  20. How can she really say? Need to see another year to know if this is good ball IMO.
  21. I think we knew tonight wasn't our night a few hours ago.
