“So Tom Crean is speaking in 3rd person because he’s hoping that he can emulate the success of Mike Woodson in recruiting and roster management?”

Crean wants CMW's swag.

UGA basketball can recycle failed IU coaches. It works well for us.

Some masshole that lives in Boston. Evidently he is fond of donuts.

When you see him on the road, you better get away from him. He's gonna swerve and cut you off.

Maybe this is wrong but once they bail out on Indiana I could care less what they do or why they made the decision they did. It's kind of like having an ex-wife. I don't want anything bad to happen to them but I also wouldn't give them the time of day or ever root for them. 

You're definitely not alone. I have rather a strict definition of Indiana Hoosiers; Hoosiers are the ones who have finished their careers in Candy Stripes. With that said, I'm not sure if a graduate transfer should be considered a Hoosier after playing one season and finishing his career. That would be up for discussion.

Not portal but i didnt know where to put this.

Ok this is not April Fool stuff, but this kid's got balls. If he gets drafted in the first round (which I doubt it), what a success story that would be.

This is probably my favorite thing about CMW so far.  He doesn't seem to have this crazy large ego where he feels like he needs to know everything or do it all himself.  He's got plenty of resources to utilize and bounce ideas off of.... Matta, Brown and I'm sure countless others.  (not to mention Hunter and Fife and Asst #3)

It's like I tell my kids -- you don't need to have all the answers, you just need to know where to find them.  Seems that's his strategy and I like it.  

I also see this as a sign of self-confidence. Usually people who are insecure try to portray themselves bigger than they really are. Definitely a huge benefit of having a coach of Mike Woodson's caliber who pretty much accomplished everything as a basketball person. A self-confident but humble person feels comfortable in his/her own skin. This is something we haven't seen for a long time.

I heard it was possibly a ploy to keep TJD.  Larry coached Dale while with the Pacers.

Oh...that's interesting info. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure Dale's in TJD's ear, and the daddy Davis need to be assured his son will be developed and prepared for the next level if staying one more year.

Larry Brown is the same age as RMK though.

Would coach Woodson bring Larry Brown here if he's not all himself? 

Personally, I have absolutely positively no problem with coach Woodson's personal relationship with Worldwide Wes. Coach has been working with this guy at NYK, and probably known him for a long time in NBA circle. It was said that Uncle Wes knows everybody and that's how he thrives by connecting people. I don't care if Wes asks some famous rappers to go check out Indiana men's basketball and shake hands with our players. I'd be happy if Wes advises real good high school players to consider playing for coach Woodson simply because coach Woodson is a really good coach. Now if Wes gives kids money to send kids to IU, that's a problem, but why would Wes do that for coach Woodson? Wes is not an IU alum.

Holy Sh!t! Juwan Howard's Merlin/Gandalf is Martelli, which I thought was pretty cool, but coach Woodson trying to bring in Larry Freaking Brown? That right there is the difference in class. 

Welcome home coach Woodson!

The longer Stevens stays in Boston with this mess, the more it will ruin his reputation. 

I don't know about reputation, but it'll definitely take a toll on his and his family's mental health. Celtics fans hate him so much with burning passion. Anything we said or we did on Crean and Miller is child's play.

Anyone see anything new from that Ohio State Twitter guy? He left the Brad Stevens teaser last night....

I saw that too. That guy seems like an attention whxxx. He knows IU fans are desperate for Stevens. 

My god. Talking about a mass exodus. Are we going back to Crean's second year?

I like Archie. I agree he had to go. But I still think he will grow and has a bright future.

Only if he learns to adapt and to modernize his schemes.

SIAP.  Sorry if already posted.  Jeff Goodman Podcast from yesterday.

• It won't be Brad Stevens
• IU has not yet reached out to Chris Beard or Scott Drew
• He seems to think it will be a former IU player.  Mentions Keith Smart multiple times and also Mike Woodsojn.

 

OMG. Don't they have anything better to do? If Keith Smart and Mike Woodson (no disrespect to our former players) are what they're thinking, they're just tarnishing their own reputation as journalists.

We have a couple of years to prepare for the last two. 

Come home Brad!

Indeed. We first have to have the right coach, but then now I understand the process really starts with the right AD who's got vision for the future.

Hey anything can be forgiven if Stevens comes to IU. Grown men can piss their pants or a cry a river.

Is HSN about to get a stress test on the new servers?  Lol

There's no better test than this along with IU advancing to FF or winning a national championship.
