DC2345 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Just now, btownqb said: elaborate please Early in the week IU had reached out at least one HS and maybe multiple about attending their sectional game last night. Then they went silent and decided not to go. It's also a terrible look for a HC that is not in the safest spot from a job security stand point. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. reaching out to HSs about going and then .... not going. That might be something, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with all somewhat credible rumors that are swirling makes me think that the staff knows something and doesn't want to waste their time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was "I hope there is more than one source spreading this" I saw that Trilly's info is supposedly coming from the Pearl camp. Not IU. Even if this were true, Pearl has a team that is capable of getting to the final four - does he want this info getting out? It'd seem like a huge distraction. Logically it doesn't make sense that there is so much smoke, this early. Sure, crazier things have happened, but I'm still a skeptic. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like this get out when you have an account like Trilly that has multiple people feeding it legit intel from all over the country. It's also not a legit media outlet so they don't have to play by the same rules as many other people do. That's why they could care less about what gets leaked to the Trilly account.

Maedhros Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 25 minutes ago, NCHoosier32 said: agreed, but i would think he would do it because he cares about his alma mater. i would assume he would not be seeking another job. seems he is best suited for retirement. I'm not thinking about Woodson with that post, but rather Hunter, Rosemand and Walsh. Presumably they still have careers in college basketball to think about, maybe even still with Indiana. Hunter and Walsh were here before Woodson, after all. Even if Woodson is stepping aside, I'd think at least one of them would want to continue the relationships with Sisley, Mullins, et al. Maybe you can stay on staff with the next guy by being the bridge between these targets and the next administration. Or maybe you can get hired at Michigan or Ohio State based on the relationships you've built. It's puzzling not to see any of the staff out seeing anyone at all, unless I missed it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HoosierFaithful Posted February 29 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 29 Just like every time, if a coaching search happens, most of the innuendo here and elsewhere is made up BS. People might even think they're passing along something real, but it is tea leaves built on top of tea leaves built on top of twitter likes built on top of flight searches. The foundation is not solid. Enjoy the ride but don't take it like a rollercoaster 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I remember a coach taking another job before there season ended was Bill Freider at Michigan. Their AD said see ya because he wanted a Michigan man coaching Michigan. They ended up winning the championship that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I recall reading in one of Coach Knights book what he wanted in his players and when we hired Woodson I thought we were getting someone the valued these things just as much but I think i was wrong. He may value them but maybe doesn't know how to make men into this mold. not sure but here is what Coach Knight said he wanted in every jersey that said Indiana on the front. What it meant to Big Ten, the college basketball world and the people in the state of Indiana Inside that jersey was a kid that would compete like hell and represent his school on and off the court, during his college years and after in a way that would make the most important judges of all , his parents, proud. If you can do that and win thats success. Currently we have neither. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Ihave feeling guys like Trilly just likes to troll our fan base. They know we are gullible and want any kind of info we can get. He probably puts this out there and watch our fan base and probably laughs his head off to our reaction. It is just like when people said they saw Donovan in Bloomington and we're following vehicles thinking it was him. Also if this is true why hasn't any actual basketball media outlets reported any of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Meh--- where there is smoke, there is fire. There certainly was with Stevens. Dude had to, midseason, tell NBA reporters he wasn't going to Indiana. Granted he did it in a very douchey way, but..... it CLEARLY wasn't nothing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilly has been dropping information, Rabby has been dropping hints about Pearl. It's not nothing but believe that you want. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
