My boss (an IL grad/fan) told me the other day that Dakich had said there was a kerfuffle between Green & Smith either during or after the OSU game.

He now just told me that Dakich says RMK is going to be at the Purdue game (but that he, Dakich, won't be there).

Since I don't listen to Dakich and haven't seen anything posted here, can someone fill me in on this? Boss has no reason to make stuff up, but I wonder if I'm getting the whole story. Boss just catches bits and pieces while going to lunch and back.

Dakich brings up an incident (naming no names) Fischer doesn't correct him or say otherwise and adds Miller's hands are tied or something like that.

I think the rumor mill just assumes it's Smith and Green. You can always listen to the podcast from that day but there's not much there.

There’s very likely a reason Fischer doesn’t “correct him or say otherwise”, since there’s probably a lot of truth to it. Fischer and Dakich are friends have have a great deal of respect for one another, by the way.
 
Rumor is Knight & Keady could be there Saturday..
Who gives a crap about inter team fights.
Happens all the time.. Everywhere..

It only matters if it is there is a common person to many incidents. Elston confirmed there were issues between Green and Romeo last year. My son spent a lot of time with Elston when he was in town for a tournament his bank was sponsoring. I don't know details except he indicated Green was the one with the problem.

Green was suspended once. We assumed it was for drugs, but there wasn't any confirmation. Could it have been for a fight or bad behavior?

I don't have a problem if the incident was a matter of a player calling out another for effort or not doing what they are supposed to do. I can only think of a small number of players that have played well enough to be qualified to do that. Green isn't one of those

Someone needs to call in and ask Dakich if he will quit his show if RMK doesn't show up.

Are people going to keep spreading this rumor until he either shows up or is unable to come?

Except when it’s one of the two captains of the team, who happens to be a senior, is perhaps our worst player, and has no idea to how to play as part of this team.

Dakich has zero credibility with respect to IU basketball. He burned that bridge slowly but surely over the past five years. He is bitter as hell.

More than five years. For a decade I have referred to him as Dorkich. He still thinks that he should have been IU's head B-ball coach. Not a chance.

lol...only on the internet. I always thought playing and coaching for IU made someone more credible. Silly me:rolleyes:

So....at what point did you become more credible? Was it post 10K or 15k? Maybe you should call in to his show and inform him of the proper protocol for basketball credibility?

Step 1: Make up random internet handle
Step 2: Make thousands of posts that never criticize IU’s brass
Step 3: Fully embrace fanboyism at all times

You can find Monday's show here:

Dan first addresses it @8:10 and talks more about it @18:25
Fisch starts @23:15, but they BS until 27:40.

Dan does name names... Smith and Green specifically. He says Green mother fvckered Smith and called him the N word when Smith asked Green to change sides of the lane to help block out during a free throw situation. I quickly fast forwarded thru the game, still had it on the DVR. I found one situation late in the game where Smith and Green were both in the game during a FT situation. Green did get re-directed from one side of the lane to the other, but I didn't see any unusual interaction. I could have missed other situation, I just took a quick look.

Dan infers that he saw it while watching, I doubt this. Later he infers that someone told him about it. I believe this more... someone that was there and possibly connected fed the info to him.

I didn't catch that the first time .. ie the naming of names but I hated listening to Dakich speak so it was a fairly quick scan. .

As much deserved shit as DD takes for running his mouth and stirring the pot, I can't help but think we may have been somewhat better off if we had just hired him. Sure he probably would have fizzled out and been fired but at least we would have maintained some semblance of what IU basketball was built upon.

I didn't mind the Sampson hire and still think he's a great basketball mind. However, his minor infractions and our subsequent overreaction set off a catastrophic chain of events. At worst, with DD we would have lost games we should have won, played hard, and moved on from him with our program fairly intact. Clappy prob wouldn't have ever been here.

Yeah, as a former player and coach, DD is more connected and has more inside knowledge that 95% of the combined board insight.

Dakich was on that staff with Sampson and Senderhoff.

His dumbass version of morality is what caused 9 years of Crean, by destroying what was a top 10 team and giving Crean the ultimate pass

I think we should just bring Sampson back, I bet he'd come. it's really ridiculous to me that some on here claim he ruined our program by the equivalent of spitting on the side walk, DD and Crean ruined the program

The phone calls were minor but illegal and a repeat offender. My primary issue with Sampson was that the character and academic aspects of the kids he brought in were inconsistent with IU standards and expectations.
 
Dakich was on that staff with Sampson and Senderhoff.
Oh, here we go again. Implying that Dakich was dirty because he was on Sampson's staff at the end. Not true...as best as can be determined.

Dakich was hired after the internal investigation into Sampson and Senderhoff was started. He wasn't even involved in those phone calls. His position wasn't involved in recruiting.

Of course, he probably twigged onto the fact that the players were not going to class, allegedly smoking grass, etc. But we do not know if he was doing anything about it. We don't know what his charge with the Athletic Department was relative to Sampson and Senderhoff and the investigation, the NCAA compliance, and dealing with issues. We do not know.

I do not listen to Dakich because he will say anything to get attention. I also am of the opinion that he would not have been a good fit at any college as head coach. He over-patronized everyone. You think RMK was controlling...well Dakich superseded RMK in that area. Dakich left Bowling Green State U. because of his inability to recruit.

But, he does know basketball. He is shrill. And he was clean as a whistle...that's him.

Exactly. It’s complete nonsense, but that’s par for the course (or should I say court?).

Exactly talking with former players means nothing Alohaloser absolutely has more inside knowledge throw in Mr Ching too

I was hoping Dakich would take over as permanent coach after Sampson. We’ll never know if that would have meant long-term success or not.

Not me. Knew he had been clean. Daughters went to BGSU and watched him closely. Did fine for a while.

He even accepted the HC position at WV in 2002 for about $3.2 million a year! But, after he got there and checked the issues that surprised everyone..he left after only 8 days. Some say he tried to shake down WV. Some say WV sandbagged him. All say WV was screwed up.

He went back to BGSU and it went downhill from there.

My opinion, which has no weight I know, he wouldn't make it as HC anywhere because he over-controlled every aspect of the players. Everything. Stifled their lives, their way of breathing, their thoughts, their friends...everything. Recruits got the word.

He is so very perfect.

Crean was a bullshooter.

Rather have a straight shooter like Archie Miller. Just give him half of a chance.

Well, it never happened at IU so we'll never know. I'm still confident in Miller. We don't know how that will turn out yet either, but I think it will turn out well.
