I think we've gotten better at blocking out...Mgbako in particular seems to be able to get tough rebounds in traffic... I remember a while back someone said coaches yelling "blockout!" from the sidelines seemed pointless as they should already know what to do. But you have to take into account a lot of the younger players were just simply bigger and more athletic than anyone they played against in high school, so the fundamentals of rebounding are an afterthought. I've said for the longest time that our inexperience shows a lot, and I think that's one area that is especially glaring. No,it certainly doesn't...I know a lot of good people who aren't very good at their jobs... But I'm also not buying into the narrative that Mike Woodson isn't a good basketball coach. He is. I hear commentators like Shon Morris and Robbie Hummel comment on our sets all the time. I saw 2 kids... INDIANA kids... stand up for his coaching... I've heard TJD, Miller Kopp, JHS, and many others vouch for him... So if I'm skeptical of every X post of assistant high school coaches or podcast talking head, let's just say I tend to listen to people who actually know rather than those who think they do 🙂 Simply my opinion, but I appreciate yours as well... Addendum: that's no slam on the coaches who post here. I appreciate the input of most, and have gained valuable insight... It just seems when people are trying to disparage Mike Woodson that they pull anything from anyone that supports the narrative off X...

Yeah, I'd expect nothing beyond the "exploring other options" line... But we don't even have that yet...

Didn't say here... Check Btown Banners though...

Fan criticism is kinda every day stuff with a big program like IU basketball... The last 3 weeks have been unreal though... So much BS... And now a lot of the same people are turning on Galloway and Leal for defending their coach... For Christ sake they've been there EVERY DAY for 3 years... I'll take their word over pretty much anyone else on the planet on what kind of coach and person Mike Woodson is...

My own opinion is, Woody didn't mean fans that simply criticize the things they've seen... It's the "I hope we lose out" crowd and the manufacturers of BS stories about the staff, the kids, and the program in general that I'm sure he has issues with... And to be honest, I do too...

Yeah, I'd say unlikely at best... I just thought he would have posted something by now on X or Instagram...

Never would have guessed...

Have McNeely or his family commented publicly on his decommit yet? I haven't seen anything... Not saying it's not true, because I know numerous outlets reported it, it's just that usually the recruit puts something out himself...

I just st watched the game at Happy Valley again... Galloway had physical issues (foot) early, but gutted it out...Ware picked up his 4th foul 3 minutes into the 2nd half, and that gave Baldwin license to drive the lane whenever he felt like it... He'd either make a layup or get fouled... We were 14-25 from the line and 3-15 from 3... Really a game we pissed away... BTW, that short ref that looks like Barbara Bush never gives us a favorable whistle...

Ah, yeah... 86 on Kenpom

Yeah, 86

@HoosierFaithful was there, and said it was very loud, even without the students...

If we get Penn State, XJ didn't play in either game, and Ace Baldwin had 22 and 23 against us... I understand a lot of people are down on X, and rightfully so in some instances, but he can defend... And I think Baldwin is made to order for him...

Plus some

Use it to brine chicken...Excellent

Since verbalcommits.com switched to being mostly a pay site, listing the portal entries, but in alphabetical order rather that date entered, it makes it harder on a day to day basis to see who's in... On3's site puts them in reverse chronological order so you can see the latest entry first... I kinda figure we'll need this

LOL...That pic I posted concerning the eclipse and traffic at Indy ARTCC? That's what the airspace around Navarre's "clothing optional" Beach looked like back when I worked there...1200 code city

Coastline? That's the easy way... If you ever come from the north around CEW VOR, it's a crap shoot...11 mile wide North/South corridor with Duke Field and Eglin smack dab in the middle...All that restricted airspace will put that "Do some of that pilot stuff, Mav" to the test

Hey, @Joe_Hoopsier...Have you ever flown over to Destin? I know you said you have a house in southern Alabama...

Crumbled up in some good ol' Navy bean soup (that had been cooked with a ham hock in it )

One of my childhood heroes ...Along with Harry Gonso and Jade Butcher....His brother, Phil, played for RMK in the late 70s

I wonder what Billy Hatcher would have scored on the Reds/Astros part?

Those were the 2 I debated over as well...I picked Billingham simply because I had a nice conversation with him in the lobby of the Park Chase hotel in St Louis...Nice guy...

Two Frank Duffy's has to be a record
