HoosierFaithful Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I used to post on a board that was no holds barred. Barely any rules. It was fun, and I created a lot of unique insults to call people, but it’s not like the discussions actually went anywhere. I was mostly being an edgy teenager.

It has to do with respecting what this forum is about. The rules Mile and CC built this site upon. If I see someone calling someone names, I'm going to report that to help out the mods, and keep this site from turning into a cesspool like many of the other IU sites out there. I have reported guys for the language being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People might want a change, upset with results,etc....but at the same time the same brain can also think it might be better to bring Archie back for one more year vs hiring a different version of him? If the home run is there you go get him. If not I bring Archie back....because I believe our upside is higher next year and ultimately beyond w/Archie and TJD back, healthy Brunk (about 4-5 wins this year)..Armaan...and a round of normal off season with Lander, Leal, Galloway, Geronimo, and Race. Again...for the it has to be one way or the other crowd. I get it. We're all pissed. Goes without saying. Looking forward though if the home run isn't there....given what the available candidates are....I'm leaning to another round that way I know for sure this isn't the guy. Plenty of examples in the Big 10 current and past where the Admin took a one more year chance on a guy and it paid off. Of course there is the opposite. Keep going back to the same thing. Unless the HR is there....you bring Archie back. God knows our players can't shoot 9-60 in 3 straight important games from 3 again. If the home run isn't there, you just get the best coach you can. We don't need the flashiest, biggest name out there. We just need someone who can coach fundamental basketball. The last 6 games were so bad, I just don't see the upside in staying the course, or seeing much reason to believe it will magically change.

Can't imagine a guy or gal running to a click button to report someone on a message board. Where I come from?? Weak stuff is all I got for actions like that. Makes me curious if I've ever been reported. Haha. I don't get why trying to help the mods keep up with inappropriate posts is weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a personal thing I guess. Rather go head to head. I'd hash it out in an intelligent way but I guess I didn't see what was posted. If reporting posters is your way....no problem! Hopefully in the same respect it's ok with you if I would never do something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there is no coach who you think is unavailable this year will be available next year. You go out and get the best coach you can and try every avenue.

It is reporting a post in a thread I have nothing to do with. If there's rules being broken if I'm not involved in the thread, I don't mind reporting it to help out the board.

Meh, don't worry about that stuff. But remember this...never get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man. Or is that one-armed man? Whatever. You get my point.

I can assure you any P5 team has someone that monitors boards, social media,etc....at all times. Sometimes boards (especially the right ones) are phenomenal resources of information. I think I've mentioned before but I posted a few things about another Big 10 program years ago and it took all of an hour to get back to me. That's why I always applaud those who have information and share it because someone is always watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
