probably will turn out being a home run.
absolutely no one is excited by this hire
- Thread starter kurt cloverdales
- Start date
Nobody was going to like anybody at this point. We’re all idiots.
Kurt, let's me and you go out and get loaded. I want to lose my memory for awhile.
should have got beard, who knows
This article has got me a little fired up.... Definitely optimistic...

I wanted the better Drake coach, McCollum. ( And no, I dont know that to be true... lol) Will be happy to be wrong about which one is the best for us.
Devries must have shown Dolson a lot. He's a smart guy.
LETS GO!
Welcome Coach Devries!

From the iuhoosiers website:
Compared to the six years before his arrival, DeVries' six-year win percentage represented a remarkable 39.1% improvement, which stands up remarkably well against other high-profile coaches such as Alabama's Nate Oats (+9.2% four-year win percentage improvement while at Buffalo), Michigan's Dusty May (+22.3% four-year win percentage improvement at Florida Atlantic), and Louisville's Pat Kelsey (+18.7% three-year win percentage improvement at Charleston).
Significant improvement over the previous regime is one of the things I liked about BM. Good to see with CDD.
take-off now, should have plenty of time, tell the wife you found a once in a lifetime opportunity
like we need more random cherry picked stats that mean nothing.
Keeping the powder dry for the next Stevens run in 4 years?
Not cherry picked, I’ve looked at the improvement over previous regime for all the coaches we have discussed.
As I said earlier, I’m not excited, but also not despondent. I’m disappointed that it wasn’t McCollum or McCasland, but glad that it’s not Bromell, Cronin, or Buzz.
An excellent coach who doesn’t make the tournament. Wait, didn’t we have one of those already?

I would not call Woody an excellent coach. I, for one an excited about the hire.
Dolson must be enamored with him to pay a buyout that could reach nearly 6 million dollars. They must also pay Woody’s going away $$$. I get donors help with these things, yet wow!!!
It's pocket change to these people. They're in a whole different stratosphere from most of us.
Indiana also is building toward having north of $7 million in NIL + revenue-sharing resources, per source.
Like Woodson no excuse for not winning. He will have 7 million

Dealing with the shock right now and probably will transition into denial sometime before morning…
I like Beard a lot and think he was the Grand slam hire since big name coaches were so unlikely. I'd probably rather have McCasland or McCollum than Devries but they are all in the same category, IMO. Actually, after watching a few Tech games recently, McCasland was getting close to Beard for me. Maybe Texas will make a move for McCasland. I live in austin and that would be great. Beard generated a lot of excitement and built a great team at Texas in his short time but it is all stale again. I've haven't gone to a game in the last 2 years. I expect they chase a big name though. Rumors of Billy D. or Quinn Snyder are being thrown around.
I don't see how anyone can criticize the DeVries hiring until seeing his performance with IU. His resume isn't much different if not better than Danny Hurley's was before UCONN hired him.
