If Woodson isn’t coaching for whatever reason next season, Why limit ourselves to an alum? I think too much emphasis gets put on “the former IU coaching tree”. Bob Knight didn’t coach under Branch McCracken. Danny Hurley has no connection to Calhoun. K didn’t go to Duke. Self didn’t go to Kansas. Dean Smith didn’t go to UNC. Wooden didn’t go to UCLA. Go shake some trees and see who is willing to listen. Get the best available coach out there. The reason I always hear is “oh, they’ll understand the traditions better”. How about upholding this tradition: win.

You’re a bigger tease than my high school girlfriend. And Imm’a slap the first sumbitch that mentions my current gf. 😂

Hell I didn’t even know that. 😂 JHS, Ware, Reneau, MM and Tucker, right?

Hard fighting a major arms race with handguns, even if they are really, really good handguns

Exactly. Meaning that even if there isn’t an Indiana kid on the market now, there might be in a few weeks let alone next offseason.

Because Bally is one of the most inept organizations to ever exist. They make Enron look competent.

Has Pittsburgh had a 20 game winner since Drabek?

I’ll say it again, at this point, it’s easier to list who didn’t enter the portal.

Class size factors in.

Lotta time between then and now.

Nyet. Both had a COVID year left, and both announced they’re returning.

Probably about as vague as the “name, image, likeness” payment rules.

Leal and Galloway, plus whatever walkons there are.

I liked number 13: "The secret to amazing Mexican food: lard. They cook everything in lard." umm….duh. Lard, duck fat and/or pure butter are the secrets to pretty much anything.

Alaskan Duck Fart sounds like something akin to a Rusty Trombone

Having “Beauty School Dropout” playing if we’re entertaining a former UK player would be appropriate.

Dusty had one out of the blue run to a FF. Great, so did Mike Davis and Tom Crean. Woodson at least had a track record of getting multiple NBA franchises to the playoffs, and given that those franchises were the Hawks and Knicks…getting to the playoffs was a decent accomplishment.

If they’re out of the elements, yeah, probably worth a shot.

One expectation I won’t have at the beginning of next season: if we don’t systematically destroy some of our first few “real” opponents, I’m not going to freak out. This is a ton of new talent that has never played together before. It may take some time to gel. Now one expectation I will have is that the Kennesaw States and Southwest Saskatchewan A&Ts of the world won’t be close and that we’re not getting blown out in those first few “real” games.

Mark Pope has already made contact. “Hey….c’mon down..none of those pesky academic standards here.”

It was actually a souvenir blanket. They stitched it up real quick.

Very nice penmanship from MM.

Ballo-Ware is a breakeven, maybe a slight edge to Ware. Rice/Carlyle/Tucker for Gunn/Banks/X, that’s not even a fair comparison. I took Sparks out since he was a F and not a G/wing, but same difference.
