I assume he will go pro...but what if Steve leaves...could he get an automatic transfer and somehow play for us next year or would he still have to sit out a year? That would be pretty epic if he could be that 4th signing...step right into Romeo's shoes and give us that scoring threat. Given what we would bring back and have coming in....B1G championship?!

Not because I don’t like them, but rather that I’d hate to see any of them tarnish their image from a coaching perspective. Unless they have already proven to be excellent coaches already I agree....it also makes it difficult to remove them as well and everyone save face.

About every mock draft I have seen has him going late in the 1st round. That being said, I do believe the NCAA changed their rules concerning coaching changes....but really not sure.

If the coach had kept his cool, not gotten the techs, and PSU missed the personal foul shots (the first two), then he got all worked up for nothing. The game would have been going into overtime, or Duquense may have been able to get off a final shot in regulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 While we wait on CC's experience with Alford...... It looks like a done deal. Arriving in Greece after Christmas. Rick Pitino, ex-Louisville basketball coach, to take job in Greece Rumor has it that what finally caused Rick to pick Greece, was the number of Italian restaurants in country. For those that don't recall, Rick admitting having sex with Karen Sypher in an Italian restaurant. Porcini's or something like that.

He was getting his bags out of the trunk of his car, the other coaches were already in the lobby. I introduceyslef as an IU grad and fan and asked if he needed a hand. He said something like "duh.". I picked up two bags and over the 50-75 yard walk told him I was at IU when he was there...not a word from him. Get to the lobby and put down his bags and reach out to shake his hand and he says I'm a little busy here and I kinda stood there stunned. His dad saw the whole thing and quickly came up and said he appreciated my help and then made some small talk about IU, etc. Then said Steve was really busy and apologized for him being abrupt. His dad was a nice guy. Steve not so much. People in lowa hated him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I'd tell someone that I was from Indiana (not even IU), I'd get about a 3 minute lecture on what a jerk Alford is. He had a reputation for acting very arrogant and entitled. A number of stories about small businesses who were expected to give him things at cost or for free just because he was Iowa's bball coach. Didn't have any personal experience.

5fouls Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Met Alford one year at Fuzzy Zoeller's celebrity golf tournament in Southern Indiana. Let's just say that the former UK players that were there we more friendly and accommodating to the IU fans than Steve was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years back... we had several former IU students/alum who worked at various stores and facilities in B-town, talk about Steve on our forum at the time. Same story. Different situations. But to a person. Claimed Jerk. Seems, regardless of where ever Steve went... he treated people badly (as with CC).... and worse yet.... never expected to have to pay for anything. When I heard multiple stories like that.... I always cringed when the thought of Steve becoming our coach came up. Great player on the floor in college. Not so nice off the court is what many have told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
