  1. I think it also matters when Izzo is planning on retiring... let’s say JB is hired and they call fife and say hey the IU job is yours in 4 years come be an assistant. He technically already has that in Michigan Stare but we don’t know the timeline. The issue is the Jim Boeheim example. They had a coach in waiting who was promised the job and Boeheim gave a timeline of retiring them Boeheim changed his mind and the coach left. What if JB does the same thing when getting here I’d hate to burn bridges with Fife. So in a coach in waiting scenario like JB/Fife it has to be executed to a T
  2. I think the problem is people have unrealistic expectations meet passion... they want things now with no patience and no one including myself likes to be wrong but the moment you put your neck on the line and are wrong people call you out and think you aren’t allowed to defend yourself... if rolls were reversed we would all handle ourselves the same way you do.... btw no one else knows what goes behind the scene and how people treat you or message you. You tell people you’re gonna leave the board because of people being keyboard Warriors essentially but then they beg you not to go and to ignore the “haters” that’s way easier said than done. I’m sure it’s exhausting. I’ve definitely went hard after you before and for that in sorry... I’m so tired of people being rude and disrespectful on this site if it’s something that doesn’t go their exact way. To me this site is special and it shouldn’t be compared to other boards yet people still do but lately this board is just as negative as positive. We have to do better as IU fans and just embrace when people like you give information. If you’re wrong who cares it literally doesn’t affect any one persons real life just their lives as fans yet they hold it against you in ways you shouldn’t have to deal with for being human and willing to share.... if you left people would freak out and beg for you to be back and in need of an “insider”
  3. Very true I think Howard is a very recognizable name and can say I know how to get you to the league successfully so that’s the difference between him and Davis IMO
  4. I agree completely. It will definitely be interesting if more leaks come out today... ill be on a plane for hours... currently bored in Vegas airport
  5. I mean it’s worked for Michigan and Juwan Howard but he also has a bad a$$ coaching staff.
  6. What I mean is he’s a no nonsense kinda guy and that didn’t bode well here... also add in no college experience just not for me
  7. To me Woodson is the same exact type of coach as Archie!
  8. Here’s the difference in my opinion.... archie had the top school in Indiana to recruit for and also can easily be the top big ten school in landing recruits.... Texas tech isn’t even the top school in Texas and middle of the pack in the big 12 for kids to come play at... to me that makes a big difference in comparing the two schools... if Archie was at Texas tech what recruits would he have gotten last 4 years? Same as beard? Better? Worse? What would their record be based off of him at IU? Now look at Beard to me he would get wayyyyy better recruits than Archie because not only would he have gotten Romeo and whoever else he wanted but he probably gets TK, Aaron Henry, etc... style of play and Charisma matter and Archie didn’t wasn’t good at either.
  9. How is Brad as a recruiter? It’s obviously different recruiting at IU than butler. Do you think any current assistants and/or clif marshall would stay? What type of assistants could he potentially bring in? Obviously this is all hope but we might as well be positive and have a discussion on these type of things.
  10. So my question is if it’s announced does he quit Boston immediately or finish the season?
  11. I mean wine prostitutes and strippers has at least saved 10 years on his life.
  12. I don’t disagree and he’s from Michigan so he’s got Midwest ties.
  13. If they hire Fife they have to bring in an experienced coach like Beilien or I’d even consider Wittman or Woodson who have extensive NBA playing and coaching resume which is a big deal in recruiting.
  14. That’s fair... I just remember seeing it on this board back in the day obviously could’ve been a non reliable source 🤷🏻‍♂️
  15. I heard multiple times that’s why he didn’t come here
  16. Here’s my questions let’s say Scott Drew does come.... 1. What assistants stay in staff from IU currently? 2. What coaches come with Drew? 3. What players can qualify to get in to IU from Baylor because McKinley Wright couldn’t get in or he would be here and we might actually look a lot different with him. 4. How many players does Drew bring over from his current team or his incoming recruits? 5. What current committed IU players still come to IU? Duncomb, Gunn, etc.
  17. And the way I read it is if he goes to 7 bowls in this 7 year contract it’s essentially a 14 year deal?
  18. So are you saying he’s the northern version of Beard from TT... lol
