B1G >>>>>> B12 in basketball by a lot.
Most years, yes. Not this year. This year the B12 is really good and the B1G... not so much. But when Hoiberg was at ISU, then certainly that was the case.

I think that is likely, too. If I'm IU and Eden in on TJD 1 on 1, I'm doing a lot of dribble hand offs with JHS and Galloway to put Edey in a tough spot, and also clearing out and letting TJD drive it at Edey if they choose not to double. We can see how good he is at not fouling with TJDs quickness.
Should be able to get some kicks to the opposite wing and a quick entry to Race/Malik in the post against Gillis and Furst with no Edey to help with this type of action too. Obviously neither of them are slouches, but we should be able to get some buckets off of that.
Basically, I'd make him work the entire time on defense then throw lots of bodies at him when we are on defense. Obviously TJD is our best bet guarding him 1 on 1, but we can't afford to pickup fouls there and TJD can't get a weak side block if he is on him.
Unfortunately, Edey is the type of big that TJD has struggled against historically. Big bigs give him trouble. Of course, he's playing better than he's ever played before so maybe that will change.

Am I reading this right that Bennett is ranked as the worst? This list seems a bit off lol.
He has a championship but also multiple early round upsets, including losing in the first round as a #1 seed.

Officials should not be effected by the crowd, coaches or players. They should call the game based on how the game is being played. Stop letting momentum affect how they are calling the game. Tell coaches to shut their traps, call technical when they warrant and uphold the rules. They are the gate keepers, not the coaches or the crowd. If they call a fair game every game, i don't think you're going to see to much clapback from fans or coaches
Yep, they're supposed to be impartial judges. They're human so some of those things might affect them a bit but it shouldn't affect them as much as it does. Letting the crowd affect them is not being impartial so he basically admits that they're not doing their jobs correctly.

I'd recommend listening before making that statement. Not that you are wrong, but I think the answer is somewhere in the middle and he explains why. Like all things in life, you need to listen to both sides' perspective before making a conclusion.
He does go off on an interesting tangent about Wisconsin. Basically, that they are coached not to make stupid reaching fouls and don't go over the back. He claims that the officials know the fouling discrepancy (which is always in WI's favor) and feel tons of pressure from the crowd, players and coaches to even it up.
I would listen but it requires installing iTunes to do so. Not going to happen.
The coaches get paid millions of dollars to take the necessary steps to win. That includes teaching their players how to play without fouling. You better believe that they (at least the good ones) scout not only their opponents but the officials to know what they can and can't get away with. If the officials call the games how they would be called in the tournament, the coaches and teams will adapt to that. Sure, it might take a few ugly games with lots of fouls and/or coaches getting kicked out but they would adapt.

Man, right after I wrote that I listened to a podcast that Crimson Cast recommended. Moving Screen interviewed the Big Ten’s Associate commissioner about officiating. Very interesting to hear his perspective about all things officiating. I’m not sure I buy into his rationale about about everything, but interesting none the less.
In regards to my accusation: that officiating affects B1G teams in the NCAA tournament, he says that B1G officials primarily officiate B1G games, but they officiate a lot in other conferences and all around the country. He blames the coaching in the B1G.
A definite must listen. (Interview starts at 44.00). Also going to post this in the officiating thread.
The coaches should work around the officiating and not the other way around. Blaming the coaches is a copout and shows why the B1G officiating sucks and won't change any time soon.

Look at all that mid major talent IU's had the past few years. Amazing.

Big time injury is the only thing I can think of. And with X's, Gallo's, Race's, Phinisee's over the years, it might just enter into his head. But I also suspect he's making ends meet with NIL $$$ now, and if he doesn't get drafted and have to go to Europe to play (like one of our asst's) he may, or may not like that.
His gimpy back this year is probably making him think about injury in addition to the ones you mentioned.

No . I wasn't there. Benter shattered the backboard in the game against Silver Creek (my kids' school).
I was just kidding.
Man, that must've been a hell of a dunk.

Looks like Duncomb won't be here next year .His grandma just said Woodson outcoached again.Said Woodson plays his choosen ones.
That surprises me not at all. I expect IU will lose 7 players or more from the current team.
3 players run out of eligibility.
TJD and JHS go pro.
Duncomb and at least 1 other (JG is my guess) transfer. I can easily see more than transfers than that.
And IU has only 2 players coming in next season right now to replace all of those.

He recorded an interview with his kindergarten best friend. In a dj booth at Jeff high.
Which they accidentally posted a day early then denied what the video said and tried to blame others.

I’m gonna tie this in with a comment I made in the NIL thread. Just like I hope there becomes some contingencies on keeping $$ based on quality of play, I hope there are some rules built in based on behavior.
These guys are now raking in quite a bit of money and there needs to be some kind of repercussions for what are now essentially employees of the universityThe university is not paying the NIL money so they are no closer to being university employees than they were before NIL. People/companies paying NIL money are capable of putting behavior clauses into the contracts if they want to.

You really think he will come back for a 5th year
Answered that before you even asked. Reread the post you quoted.

He chose to last year because we didn't have any openings and didn't want to push players out. This year we will be losing 4 guys to graduation and possibly JHS to the draft. I see a couple of transfers so there will be plenty of openings to go after transfers. He got two transfers his first year.
Only 3 players run out of eligibility. TJD could play another year of college ball if he wants to, it's just highly unlikely that he will.

Have to wait to the spring to see what the 23 class looks like. Last two years we got Bates and Reneau in April
Lots of work to be done in the spring. They don't currently have enough incoming players (2) to replace the 3 players who will run out of eligibility after this season. Then there is almost certainly gone TJD, likely gone JHS, and probably some transfers (Duncomb and JG seem likely to me). For a coaching staff that says they don't want to rely on the portal, they're not doing a good job of landing HS players to fill the needs. Counting on landing players in the spring doesn't seem like a sustainable option, especially if the wheels come off this season.

Details?
Too distracted by social media criticism like below. XJ replied then Miller Kopp, Race, and Leal all chimed in. They're looking thin skinned and unfocused, especially since this seems like a very mild criticism.

Turnovers have been a problem this season, steals in particular. IU's opponents have an average of 7.3 steals per game this season. 10.2 steals per game in the 5 loses. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that isn't good.

I know a couple on here have closer intel than most but man I'd love to get this kid reclassified and be in the 812 next year. The minutes are there, the extras are there....hope we land him. Instant impact from a program I'd love to continue the pipeline from.
I'm pretty sure he said that he isn't going to reclassify.

That's what a good coach does. He assesses a player's game and finds ways for them to be successful by playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. Sean is obviously a much better coach than Archie. He saw that Hunter wasn't a good 3-point shooter in college and gave him another way to be effective. Archie just let him or told him to keep jacking.
