Maybe with the guys we have already coaching will make a noticeable difference. Let's not underestimate what CMW and staff can do.

I think Michigan with Howard and now IU with CMW is recognizing the future of college basketball. The NBA is where the kids we need want to go. They want coaches who can get them there. Capital's entire pitch is that. I don't like it, but that is reality in today's game. We all want IU to be relevant. This is how to get there. TJD would not have returned if if that was not the case.

Now, Norm Ellenberger was a pretty good assistant for Coach Knight and I'm sure he was different at IU than before.  Just one example.

The fact that coach Knight let him be part of the program should tell us all we need to know. Knight was notoriously hard on rule breakers.

There's no risk here in my eyes. I think he's the best player in the state for 2022. 

This will tell us a lot about how CMW intends to recruit. Will he recruit pure talent or will he recruit to a prototype that fits how he wants to play. I'd like to think that he will be flexible in this respect.

How about tinnitus ? Anyone suffer from that? I know it’s from super loud concerts as a teenager and fronting a very loud and not very good metal band in my junior/senior years of high school.

It’s really annoying when I try to fall asleep and can lead to a bit of irritability, but I’m already pretty irritable in daily life. 

Yeah, have had that for a few years now. I think mine is from working on a farm with all the loud, day long noises that tractors made back in the 60's. VERY annoying!

Never a Christmas morning
Never an old year ends, 
But someone thinks of someone,
Old days, old times, old friends.
