Not taking it to the Knight level, but he did seem to take some not so veiled shots at the press. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean this in a good way - in the sense that he's going to go to bat for these guys by defending them in the media. Many players said Knight did the same thing; he'd purposely pick fights with the media to deflect criticism and attention away from the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "it's not us" group of fans will not like this lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsStoller Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Standing ovation!! Watched/listened to Fife’s media time and really don’t have anything to add except he just nails it. On all counts. Funny guy, gets it, determined, really liked what he said about the player/coach relationship being like that of with your kids and just knowing who’s in their ear, what are they hearing, etc. Nailed it! He is the real deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spoke on that subject directly The power of the #iubb fanbase is truly unrivaled. Last season, we altered the trajectory of every free throw and destroyed Phinisee’s jump shot through internet posts alone... Scientists need to start studying this phenomenon, it could have huge military and national security implications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was funny that Dane brought it up. I think the overall tone was IU fans get basketball and are passionate yet he will stick up for this team. Personally I think he was more pointing at the media and how negative articles rile the fans up. Also noted players need to stop tweeting and start staying after games to sign autographs. It’s on everyone, fans, media, coaches, players to be more human and know each other maybe almost like family. If anything I think he was more implying we have gotten into this mode where we are all disconnected and we need to reconnect in real life as IU fans. We are all to blame and all part of the solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet tough guys have been around as long as the internet itself...Shoot, I've seen fans from other IU boards challenge each other to fights... Anyone else remember the infamous Stellhorn Photo incident? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
