May be the final arbiter but the court of public opinion is very influential. Guy is a great coach but bringing him in with those allegations seem to be too much for a school which values social issues - especially an allegation of strangulation against a female.
Neither one if I had to bet on it. Both are great coaches but it’s the other stuff that makes me say no way will the administration hire them.
I agree that many people form an opinion based on their beliefs no matter the relevant facts. I am pointing out that a prosecutor in an administration that highly values women’s issues had access to all the evidence and stated he couldn’t reasonably prosecute.
Except it was enough to lose his job. Didn’t take much.
I remember Perry, the former governor of Texas, described Austin as The blueberry in the red tomato soup.
Don’t think so, no one likes talking teeth marks and assault even if he was cleared.
I’ve said this before. Bob Knight wouldn’t be hired at IU now.
Yeah, he'd be like 85.
He’s not the only one out there. The non coaching social stuff that leads to “we can’t hire him at IU” gets real old.
I just want Woody gone. If we get comfortable with Beard fine. I don’t think IU goes that route and it’s not the end of the world. There are like 20 coaches that would work here, and none of them come with a background of assault and bite marks, fair or unfair that stuff is out there.
Who says it’s for the better? Take a stroll past Peoples Park. Well maybe not stroll, better stay in your car and keep moving. That’s not better than when I graduated in 1980.
We used to scoff at coaches who paid players, probably not smart and we never played that game pre-NIL. In the NIL era that is no longer an issue. I’m not worried — Scott will have many options and he has a good chance to get it right.
Your last paragraph says it all. That must be near impossible because we’ve failed every time since Brand fired Knight.
When is the last time you strolled through People's Park? There are normally about 3 people there. You may have your parks confused.
IU got the football coach right.
A huge risk remains interference from Trustees, donors, and other admin. Scott has to be left to make the decision and supported.
I didn’t mention that. But it’s usually empty. Seminary is worse one but they’re harmless.
I drive by multiple times most weeks. I’ve never seen only 3 people. Maybe the weeks coming up since it’s cold.
Until they can. Literally just happened with football.
Different sports and different evaluations. Dolson hit gold by hiring a 63 year old from a low major. Cig wasn’t on any high major radars. Can he do it again with basketball? Idk
Wrong. No reason he can’t. Bball is an easier hire. We have the big resources, we just need someone who can use them effectively.
Bull crap..IU bball decision room is just bad. Bad culture and bad leadership across the board
