You've obviously been asleep for 21 years. They've done far worse. I don't view that as a screw up in the first place. I view it as the athletic department doing their due diligence before actually hiring someone. I'm saying I would like to confirm something to be accurate before I trash someone. Obviously, you don't care about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We say Thad, we're interested in you as a coach, but we need you to pass a physical to be certain before we sign a contract. It's like a baseball team conditionally trading for a pitcher who has a high ceiling but is coming off an arm issue. If healthy, worth the risk. If not, trade never happens. Because you don't do a 10 million dollar buyout to hire a coach who hasn't coached in 5 years and has severe health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I think the failed physical rumor is part of a Goodman troll. Can't prove it, but he's somewhere laughing his ass off right now at our fans who are taking the bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not your ,money. You're reacting like somehow how the $10 million dollars was used is an affront to you. It's not. It's the right of the guy smart enough to make that much money to use it however he sees fit. Why do you even care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's his real account, then who knows. What makes me suspicious is Jeff Goodman's photo with Matta being posted on Social Media literally minutes before then. Is Goodman trolling? That is coyle’s real account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Jeff Goodman, Purdue Fans, UK fans, 35 year old social rejects still living in mom's basement, etc. There are people out there trolling IU. Let's step up as a fan base and not fall for it. Wait until Dolson speaks again. We look ridiculous. smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 14 minutes ago, BobSaccamanno said: If I’m Matta, I’m royally ticked off at Coyle. His allegedly failing a physical—even if it were true, which it apparently is not— is probably a medical issue covered by confidentiality. And for good reasons. This could make Matta toxic to future employers. Don’t be surprised if his attorney writes a letter to Coyle demanding a public retraction. Coyle looks like a total clown. Something's screwy. This is Coyle's tweet: **I have spoken with multiple sources today who told me Thad Matta had reached an agreement to become Indiana's basketball coach but failed his physical exam.. #iubb He cites multiple sources. So how close were those sources to the IU athletic department? Sometimes multiple sources means one person told another person who told another person and they are all reporting the same info, so that's possible, but still. Either there was something to this story and IU is doing damage control or Coyle is incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolson said the next time we see him would be when he's introducing our new coach... He should have said "see OR hear from me." And I don't see the Tony Bennett talk at all. He didn't come here the first time because he didn't want to live in the fishbowl a big time program creates...and there was also the issues with his sister allegedly being treated poorly...

If not for that we’d still have Archie You really think we got duped? The program seemed in neutral. The lack of an offensive product was not attractive to national recruits. Given the free agency year, former player disappointment/frustration, etc - I think Dolson realized a change needed to be made. Now I’m sure Stevens may have said he’d listen ... but do you really think a hand shake deal was in place and fell apart at the 11th hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
