OGIUAndy Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 So a bunch of coaches login to one Twitter account to post rumors? This is idiotic behind belief. Just because they get a few things right doesn't mean they are insiders. All you have to do is spend night and day on the internet looking at rumors and post it somewhere. Eventually you'll be right. Twitter is becoming the bathroom stall of the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter is becoming the bathroom stall of the internet. I also think it allows them an anonymous portal to share grievances. The Archie slander aside, several of the recent posts have been slamming Mark Turgeon in some form or fashion. They are obviously made by someone who has a bone to pick with Turgeon. Honestly, this is about as unprofessional of a setup as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this type of Tripe where CAM or our players are accused or derogatory insinuations made without ANY evidence to back them up to be totally reprehensible. No matter where you stand on CAM's future, this is simply unacceptable. Character assassination of our coach and players without a scintilla of evidence and completely unwarranted. Reminds me of Staiin's Russia: "Show me the man and I will show you the crime." The famous quote from Stalin's head of secret police. This type of posting should be condemned. Period! I will say this on the matter. I have no issue with the poster who linked the tweet. Whether it is a reputable source r not, the comment was out there and open for discussion. As the responses have shown, no one agrees with it. Even if it's not discussed here, rest assured, it will be discussed on some of our rivals boards. The post that bothers me is the one with Romeo holding the bag of money. Totally inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Stop and think about it for a second. What's to prevent an assistant coach from a school like, say, Illinois, posting inflammatory stuff about Archie to feed the fire about his future that's already been simmering.

Coaches do not want Indiana to do well. They are going to stoke the fire, that let's be honest, fans have started. That's why I am not a fan of any "fire the coach" threads or gossiping. This does IU ZERO good and only puts ideas of doubt into recruits and players. I wouldn't be surprised if these so-called coaches/experts are just forum trolls who parrot rumors and gossip to give it an additional illusion of truth/validity. I don't trust any Twitter handle that's not a real person's name. They may have some "insider" info, but to get to it you'd have to use a machete.

My point was that, at least one of these anonymous 'coaches' using this twitter handle is a fan of 2 former IU coaches. I mean, they have actually ranked Mike Davis ahead of Nate Oats. Considering both Sampson and Davis were fired from Indiana, and this twitter handle is a fan of both. it raises a question as to whether there is an axe to grind against IU in play here.

Kelvin Sampson makes sense. Even though he has no morals, he is a really good coach. Mike Davis even being on that list much less #3 makes no sense.

Did he ever call Archie a blatant cheater? No. By he may have implied it. I feel like he has mentioned Sean's cheating and said surely he knows he cheated, plus he was on his staff at one point.

IU Scott Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 To me there is no way he is cheating because it is not.lime he all of a sudden bringing in top classes every year. You don't cheat to bring in players ranked over 100. You look at teams like LSU and Oregon who all of a sudden start bringing in top classes.

This account is ran by a group of college coaches around the country so they usually have good behind the scenes information. I thought Schultz was on the Russian front.

addictedtoIU Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 This tweet loses credibility to me when mentioning Alford as a candidate. And Bryce Drew too. IU men's basketball is becoming a chopped liver with lack of success for many years, but still too good for a coach who just failed at Vandy.

The “shoe guy” comments and other negativity from DD toward Romeo is DD having a bad taste because New Albany beat his high school team in the 1980 semi-state game. He has found his niche by stirring the pot. I doubt DD gets much “inside” info anymore, at least not from the Archie Administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
