I did see the separate thread and responded there. I'm most disappointed in th he fact it was upperclassmen that took the bait. Not the correct way to be a leader. We have no leaders!! Just another one of our MANY problems….. Further evidence of how soft we are!! If the players don’t like it...fix it!! It’s a dog eat dog world regardless of who it offends!! Get thicker skin boys!!

HoosierDom Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Man, the reaction here can just be so removed from reality. The players banded together and stuck up for themselves and their teammates - posters here think that because they did that they won't have time to shoot free throws? If you think some of our guys' comments were a little childish, it's hard to argue with that, but I've seen far worse here. I've perhaps engaged in far worse here. I have no problem with people attacking players at a place like this, and if the players choose to come here and read our thoughts, that's on them. But, to say something directed to them is out of bounds and I'm glad to see the guys come together to go after people who do that sort of thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve stayed out of this “dancing in pregame “ discussion, but have you heard any of Don Fischer’s interviews with Jim Coyle in the last few weeks? On at least two occasions he has tactfully called out the team for the way they act in pregame. He specifically mentioned the game that the poster here attended and posted about. He has questioned their focus because of some of the same reasons others have posted on here. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but Fisch calling that out gives the idea some credibility. I certainly agree there are more issues at play than just that though. We are all probably guilty at times of look for the one issue that needs fixed to turn things around when there are multiple things that need addressed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 13th&Jackson Posted January 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 For several years, it hasn’t seemed like IU’s players are bothered that much about losing.

Steubenhoosier Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 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 university 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the half court shot stuff before the game is NBA stuff and he didn't seem real cool with it either...he particularly brought up the free throw woes and how maybe that time was better spent practicing that as opposed to throwing up half court shots. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJD started this mess I'm not sure TJD would have posted it except he was supporting the McCaffery kid. I don't like them responding to idiots but I'm sure the frustration level is high, especially from XJ and Race, since they're unable to play. I didn't see anything from the younger guys, which is encouraging, I guess. I hope the team can get it together but I'm not optimistic.

IUFLA Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'm gonna jump outta this thread before I get myself banned... But... I'm a fan just like y'all are... I get frustrated just like you do... But, as Coach Woodson would say, "at the end of the day" the only thing sweating when I watch IU play is a beer bottle... I don't go to classes, workouts, practices, tutoring sessions... None of that... I sit a in a nice comfy Lazy Boy and bitch about the game on HSN... And that's fine... I'm not big on calling out players, but there's room for criticism...and I'd bet if people did it in a respectful and responsible manner, the players wouldn't care one bit...they know when they don't play well... And to those if you who think losing a game means more to you than it does them... 😂😂😂 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt some of this fan base is an embarrassment. If an outcome of game makes you so miserable may e you need to find something else to do with your time. 95%of the fans are great and what helps make IU great. It is the other 5% that people see and hear from and they need to go away. If this keeps up and recruits see this on visits and they see how some of our fans react they might have second thoughts.

mrflynn03 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Social media is a scourge on society. I encourage the players to put their head down and ignore it and keep working. The people bitching about their game probably couldn't even wipe their shoes. How many of them made it through cuts in Jr high, etc. None most likely.
