No clue if Kopp has playing aspirations overseas or what but hope he knows Bloomington will always welcome their guys back. Or he could be like Elston. Get a six figure gig at a bank in Carmel and just hang out and do promotional stuff.....haha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take advantage of the games you get to play against guys your staff tried to recruit over you. Keep receipts 52. NU classes aren’t as hard as people think 59. If the head coach isn’t recruiting you then forget about it 68. Put the coach in a position that he has to play you 71. Shake Izzo’s hand hard 72. Juwan Howard does a good job hiding his play calls (You could take that a couple of ways...I chose 🤣🤣🤣) Overall, you can tell Miller is an intelligent kid. Can't say I agreed with all 100, but I saw a lot of truth there. Some of it was obvious, but there was plenty of very insightful stuff. I wish Miller well...great guy that repped IU very well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, I don't mean that the former players don't support the program. I'd just love to see some of those guys that Dakich knows he can't bully or call out (IT, Chaeney, Henderson, Alford even, etc.) slam him and tell him to shut it.

btownqb Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 One point that wasn't brought up a lot... in the last 10 games last season when XJ took over... he shot 6FTs a game... he shot 86% during those games. Added offense a game, plus the other teams would have been in foul trouble more often. We missed that element of his game a lot. XJ is a tough matchup for someone like Pack. @BGleas Going to stay out of the tourney thread with this discussion, since it is IU related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because despite that a lot of people and fans still listen to him. You can see/feel his nonsense in the commentary on most IU message boards. You have fans pushing Dakich's nonsense that Woodson is some sleepy old man that isn't really paying attention, etc. And most of all, it's just not cool or fair to have this guy out there with an audience, trashing the current players and coach.

Artesian_86 Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Looking back over last year, we showed growth and improvement in wins and a top 20 ranking the majority of the season. Also we saw a huge upgrade with TJD/5 and JHS/1 performances, Kopp’s shooting was better and Reneau became a threat off the bench. I sort of look at this team like a car with a slow leak in one tire. You know feeling. First, you put air in it and continue on for a while. It never goes flat, it’s just a very slow leak that’s alway there. Some days it leaks a little more (when it gets cold outside) and other days it seems fine. I look at those inconsistencies throughout the year, like that pesky tire. Air up the tires and we moved on down the road just fine. When you notice the car pulling one way or the other, you have to stop and air up the tire. In a normal situation you would just fix the tire, repair it or even get a new one. I think there were a few more leaky tires on the bench than we could afford.

I actually applaud the emotional intelligence of most of the former players not even commenting on that stuff. I personally don't know anyone who still listens to the windbag but I'm sure plenty do. Only a matter of time before he does something stupid again and even Outkick will have to send him to the curb.

I would agree with you if I was advocating for the current players or Woodson himself to respond and engage with Dakich. Really, I'd get your stance if that's what I was pushing for. But, there is a segment of the fanbase that really does believe and listen to Dakich, and since I think we all agree the current players are best off not responding, I think it would be great and beneficial for the old guard to step in and shut him up. I'm sure the current guys would really appreciate it. I'd have to imagine if a guy like Galloway, who Dakich called out without naming him, it would feel really good to have guys like Evans, Chaeney, Henderson, IT, etc., come out and support and defend you. Dakich isn't going to push back on those guys. He really can't or he'd lose any credibility that he has. There is absolutely a segment of fans who think Dakich speaks for and represents the "old guard" and I think it would be great for the old guard to step up and defend the current players and let everyone know Dakich doesn't speak for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
