This is why I come read your forum, you guys starting in the summer start bending over and kissing your own a$$ about all the NIL and 5 stars you have and like your pro coach Woody Wood Pecker said "IU is the best program in the Country" and then we get here in February and you figure out that when you bend over and kiss your bottom that all the bull crap you where typing stunk like "shi$"! And when little "PURDUE" beats you next Saturday for the 15 out of the last 19 times you can look in the mirror and say "DUH"! IU is the only program where they can fill the back pocket of a 5 star and he goes and parties at Taco Bell at three AM with the local police! And the fans wonder why they can't compete! Pure comics!
Dakich torched Trey

Yeah, we know why you come here. Thanks for clearing up why NIL Store would be a reliable, objective indicator of NIL income/sales/popularity.
So butt hurt so easily, you should change your screen name to PrepH!
Yes all that is available now is an overwhelming volume of circumstantial evidence. To determine BEYOND a reasonable doubt we need to subpoena the principals, email, phone, and financial records. Does Cav have subpoena power?

Pure comedy is having a very good team but still begging for validation on an IU board lol. The Purdue lameness runs deep with you.
Your strawmans are bad. IU fans are biased like all fans, but most know we are bad and have been pretty bad for 25 years. We do have a lot of NIL that we totally waste. You shouldn’t care because Painter does very well with whatever you all scrap together, at least until the tournament starts. He may break through though.
we need to photoshop that with a gold hardhat and some black/gold striped overalls. and with a tee shirt that reads the incredibly creative and witty phrase "Paint Crew". Maybe throw in some mardi gras beads because, you know, that's original.we need more reasons to smile!
rsomm:
It’s been preached all season this is a flawed team, in major part due to poor guard play. Galloway plays the guard position. It’s really quite simple so criticism towards Trey should come as no surprise.
I would suspect that is not universally true. And even if it is today, it's only a matter of time.
Will Alford send a hustler preacher to counsel a rape victim on the virtue of forgiveness, so she will drop the rape charges against Alford's star player?
Definitely yes.
To be a son of a coach,Galloway never learned anything about free throw shooting either or defense.
Or it shows they know the rules and avoided an NCAA violation. There are only so many coaches on staff who can actually be hands-on with players and then it has to be within the timeframes it's allowable.
Yep. And IMO, it did not prove in any way that Mike was QBs hire.
Even you said that you have to "read between the lines" which leads to speculation and rumor.
If it wasn't Quinn then why would anybody point to Woodson? He'll everybody on this board wasn't thinking Woodson he hadn't coached since 2012 and never coached in college and was 63 years old.
I would not be surprised if Buckner "put in a good word" for Woodson once Dolson's plan to hire Stevens ran up against the inconvenient fact that Stevens wasn't interested. And that suggestion probably carried some weight.
I doubt that Buckner literally ordered Dolson to hire Woodson, but if Dolson had all his eggs in the Stevens basket, maybe he went Buckner's recommendation and put together the Matta/Fife package to try to compensate for Woodson's inexperience at the college level.
People weren't happy Stevens fell through, and there were many voices saying "we need an IU guy", including DD as I recall. Dull Son probably just wimped out and went with the flow, although the Matta/Fife angle shows he had reservations.
I assume that's a liberal use of the term "fell through." I would guess it was closer to a hail Mary.
Wild to have Brad as the primary target and then go with the exact opposite of Brad (or Cignetti in football): no college experience, no staff coming for continuity, no connections. Woody doesn’t seem to be Dolson’s type, but idk, he did give him that raise.
Perhaps we didn’t go straight from Stevens to Woodson. Or, I should say: Woodson with Matta and Fife.
Yea, could have whiffed on some other college coaches. If so, frustrating. I’m surprised we can’t pitch big NIL and athletic dept budget for bball and get almost anyone. That’s in addition to great fan support, decent facilities, and the chance for greatness (for the old ego, that all good coaches have).
You can win all you want at Baylor or Ole Miss or Auburn or wherever. You won’t get big home games like at AH. You won’t own the town like in Bloomington. You won’t takeover MSG with fans. You won’t have the whole state excited if you make a tournament run (like a real one to final four). If you could get it going at IU it’s awesome.
No. I have witnessed “friends helping friends” before.
Would Barry Alvarez, chair of the committee, say you need to play 8 games to qualify for the league title. And then when OsU fell a game short, decide to change the rules? Would that be an example?
Trey is miscast. He's not a good shooter and has been put in a volume shooting role as a 30 min/game 2 guard. I don't blame him, this is a roster management failure. This is where landing Knecht would have changed the look of this team...and the season. It's on CMW.
Never forget Woodson’s early season comment after being asked about the lack of shooting ability in our guard play when paired with dominating front court performers. “We’ll just have to prove them wrong!” (When suggested teams can’t win in this league without stellar guard play.)
Maybe you should.
5 Big Ten Schools Among Top-10 in NIL Store Sales For December
A total of five Big Ten schools ranked in the top-10 in sales for December, per The NIL Store. Purdue topped the list. Other conference schools in the mix included Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Nebraska.www.si.com
These guys aren't making major money from the NIL Store.
Being asked to be the primary shooter, defender, and ball handler is a tad unfair to Trey. Just my opinion.
I agree it's on CMW ultimately but I don't give the players a total pass on effort and fundamentals -- stuff that should have been second nature coming in as a D1 player. Agree that they don't control the roster though.
Flopped? Maybe UCLA standards but in six years they went to the Sweet 16 three times in 6 years. Had to rebuild rosters after players went to the NBA. He won 66% of his games at UCLA. He holds a summer basketball camp in Indiana every summer and has for years. In his six years at New Mexico they made the NCAA's three times and they won 4 conference championships. He has won over 60% of his games at Nevada. Sounds pretty consistent to me.

In the past I didn't care for the Dakich broadcasts ... but the truth hurt I guess. I listen to his radio show every day now and he speaks the truth. I believe him when he says he loves IU and wants them to be great again, just like Leary and other past players. His bitch with Galloway and the team in general ... they are soft. Plus they love making TikTok videos which I also disagree with. As far as what the said about Miller Kopp, X ... Woodson decided to build he culture with those two. He brought them in. Kopp was another TikTok pro, all about his brand. X quit on a team in the MIDDLE of the season. I captured a photo from "Mike's friend that works at IU", smoking kicking back after losing to Kansas in December 2023.
Whether you like Dakich or not ... he speaks the truth ... and much of what he said in the past came true.

Yeah, I don't get the 'Alford has proven he's average or at best a little better' takes.
He's won. He has some baggage, and I'd rather go after a younger guy. But Alford would have this team in Big 10 contention in year three. No doubt. He's won wherever he's been.
I didn't want him much at his age. ( But if it's true Buckner doesn't like him, now I want him. )
The only reason Alford would get a look is that he's a former IU guy. That mistake has already been made once. It shouldn't be made again.
Alford actually won TWO B1G Tournament, 3 Sweet 16s in 6 years at UCLA, a couple of Pac12 Championships, 4 conference champions at NM and in the NCAAs 4 out of 6 years. I'd say he is NOT similar to Crean's coaching records.
Crean won conference championships and made sweet 16s, and won multiple "coach of the year" awards also. Maybe Alford has the edge in side-by-side I don't know but I didn't say they were the same, I said similar and Alford's record is not very much better, if at all.
The primary shooter? Are you serious? He can't shoot. Energy guys are called energy guys because they can't shoot.
Entire coaching staff outside of maybe Walsh and Hulls gone.
I assume sig = significant?
Would not be surprised if it happens, but who is this guy, and how would he know?
