Zuckerkorn Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 48 minutes ago, IU Scott said: I think I started on there around 97 or 98 when it was Peegs and it was pretty good back then. I think when I started were recruiting George Leach and kept up with that on that site. Back then I was young and started a battle with one of those old time RMK guys because I was suggesting that maybe it was time for a coaching change. His user name was Gorjko and he was very opinionated and he totally tried to destroy me. Ahhh yes. I remember that poster. In those days I was mostly a lurker. There was also a Indystar message board back in the early 2000's. Then there was the splinter group of dissidents that started that hooploops ("claire bee") thing. I believe at least one of those loons posts on GBI now (maybe the one formerly known as "ducatti"?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesian_86 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 I found this post from the "other" IU site, intriguing. 100% true not gonna give up my source. No players have asked for their release. Two have been offered their release.. If all this is actually true, it says to me that Archie has finally had enough! He has witnessed that there IS cancer on this team and wants it removed immediately before is spreads further. I say do it, Dr. Miller.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What senior who is used to playing is going to be happy at the end of the bench.

If anyone takes the up coach up on that offer they have not bought in anyway It is obvious they had this same problem last year so at the end of last year I would had made that same offer if this is true.

Artesian_86 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 If Archie did in fact ..."light up the locker room like a Christmas tree",......I'm sure some players got pi$$ed for getting singled out in front everyone. Many kids now days can't handle being barked at and confronted by a coach for their poor performance on and off the court. There is too much coddling by parents, travel and HS coaches!!!!

Respectfully, mile, to Green and Davis’ right, Damezi and Hunter are standing, and they are scholarship players who also haven’t gotten a ton of minutes, either. They are standing. Depending on what point of the game that is, it might well be a time when, objectively speaking, the team *had* to stand. I know you’re a Davis guy, I have been a big fan throughout his tenure, but, regardless of what the snapshot could mean to any one of us, it doesn’t appear to be a good look from those two young men.

Nothing earth shattering from what i hear, but there were several 1 on 1 meetings and some were told that if they did not want to be a part of it. There is the door. Not sure if any are going to take CAM up on it, but i think it came from some comments after the game when many were still fired up but not in say a positive way. I don't think anything comes from it and have not heard which players but several had meetings. Let me speculate some more just for the hell of it. What can meeting with 'several' players mean. It could mean players 'a' and 'b' were told to expect increased time on the bench and were offered a way out. In response to that, players 'c' and 'd' were met with and told to expect more playing time and responsibility. And, maybe player 'e' and 'f' as players the coach looks to for leadership were met with as a way to keep a pulse on how the rest of the team is reacting. Boom. Archie meets with several players. It's a theory that would not hold up in court, but luckily I'm not a member of the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 The picture thing is nonsense. It's just one moment in time. Watch the game, and you'll see plenty of instances when both Green and De'Ron were cheering right along with the rest of their teammates. Those moments aren't being screen-grabbed and posted to social media because they don't fit a certain narrative. This picture might as well be an ink blot, because it serves whatever confirmation bias you wish to bring to it. I see Devonte clapping along with everyone else. I see that he doesn't have his warm-ups on, likely indicating he just came out of the game. He played 20 minutes, more than everyone else within the frame of that picture combined. The reason he's sitting could be as simply as the fact that he's getting some needed rest. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

But short of a full game, I failed. I DO recall De'Ron cheering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
