Pearl has been very outspoken on the situation between Israel and Palestine. Would that fly in Bloomington?
Beats me, but he lied to investigators. I'm sure he will never ever do it again though. Right?
Bruce Pearl, Chris Beard, Chris Collins, Brad Brownell, T. J. Otzelberger any would be great hires.
No. No. Seems wierd. Only reason you bring Brownell is the Indiana connection, so no. Otzelberger would probably win anywhere.
Of that group I think Collins would be an excellent hire if Beard is out. Done a quality job at a tough place to win and knows how to coach after working with K who worked with Knight. Seems pretty perfect.
It will be the biggest name possible. That's why I'm certain that none of my picks will be considered.
she would be an idiot to want him jailed, you think ray Rices wife is happy he lost his career got beat and lost millions. was it a onetime incident? who knows
If paying adequate penance is the price, I say we go back and get Sampson. The guy can flat-out win.
There is so much space between CMW and Beard and Co. it is ridiculous. Just get a coach who can develop a roster and work the portal. This trash can't continue next year.
You just don't know much about IU. What a stupid comment. Take a look back at how IU reacted to Pro Palestinian protesters last spring. Smh
I have a daughter who is a redhead. She can be somewhat mean at times. But she has given me two grandsons so you take the good with the bad.
Brownell and Cheany know each yea from Evsnsville but also did a good job at Clemson final four last year.
No one will ever know the truth, probably not even the 2 of them know. Your opinion on a personal matter you had no involvement in, isn't relevant. He's not had a history of problems that I know of and 1 "domestic incident" shouldn't dissuade him from being hired, IF you inquire and investigate it and are satisfied with his response.
Austin would have prosecuted on the evidence if even reasonable chance of conviction. Testimony of the claimant is not required. This expressly to guard against the case a crime was committed but the claimant had a change of heart.

Brownell played for Waltman at DePauw. Waltman was a former assistant under Knight. Brownell would be a solid hire and perform quite well at IU. He’s a really smart guy.
Anyone great coach we want to hire have something in their background that disqualifies them with the high and mighty pious crowd in Bloomington. That same damn bunch would growl about hiring Knight now.
I revere Coach Knight but he did have his brushes with Law Enforcement. Maybe The Vatican can suggest a candidate.
I was laying on a waterbed one time and the woman I was living with was upset about something and started stabbing the waterbed between my legs with a butcher knife. It didn’t leak as much as I expected because the punctures were on top. I agree in a situation like that important to react calmly because if it escalates the man will be the one almost certainly to go to jail unless something caught on iPhone.. I acted calmly since all my parts were still in place and so it was a humorous non event for me.
Dismissing my opinion as ‘not relevant’ on a message board is hypocritical and pointless. The purpose of a forum like this is to share and discuss opinions, whether they influence real-world decisions or not. By that logic, no post here is ‘relevant,’ so why bother participating?
That said, my opinion is based on the facts we know: the police documented bite marks and bruising, and the victim initially reported being strangled and assaulted. The charges weren’t dropped because the allegations were disproven; they were dropped because the victim didn’t cooperate, which is common in domestic violence cases. Ignoring that context to defend him doesn’t erase the seriousness of the accusations.
If the evidence reasonably supported prosecution they would have prosecuted.
The common assumption is that in any domestic dispute that escalates the man was the aggressor and that isn’t always true. I have no problem with arresting only the man to defuse the situation so long as honest about it and determine all the facts to ajudge guilt in a court of law.

Except for politics. Testimony may not be required but in a high profile case like that the DA would likely not proceed without her cooperation. I’ve seen it firsthand quite a bit here in NY.
The concept of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ applies in a court of law, not in the court of public opinion. That legal principle doesn’t mean we, as individuals, can’t form opinions based on the available evidence, especially when the evidence includes police-documented injuries and an initial report consistent with assault.
The back and forth in this thread shows why this hire is unlikely.
You may be right but Austin politics are far left of center and women’s affairs extremely important and the prosecutor stated that in his evaluation of all the evidence he didn’t expect a conviction.
