Not sure if I remember this correctly. Didn't Hanner Perea miss several games because an AAU coach ( and partial guardian) gave him an old laptop that NCAA considered an illegal gift because coach was considered a booster - because he bought a bumper sticker from alumni group?? I was thinking how several kids didn't miss any games ( Zion, Ayton, Smith Jr, ) and may have been paid lots of cash. Was the Perea incident self reported??
Hanner Perea NCAA
- Thread starter edub72
- Start date
I think you are probably correct or at least partially. He missed a high profile TV game in NYC and he and Jurkin walked in like future super stars and sat in the stands. They talked about how IU's future was bright with those two anchoring the front court for years to come.
Worst part was, HE didn’t buy the bumper stickers. His ex-wife did, paying for them by check to the IU Varsity Club from their JOINT checking account for 7 straight years.
And, yes, we self-reported after the Baylor assistant got into trouble for threatening to send Hanner back to Columbia.

You know way too much info about Mark Adams. Who by the way, is as slimy as they come. We were cheating much more than bumper stickers to Ahope and air Columbia.
Funny story about Mark, he once took his son Drew off a boys and girls club basketball team because they lost a game. Drew was maybe 8 or 9.
Actually, never met the man - just remember the story. A few of the details I had wrong (IU Varsity Club, Columbia) but rest is spot on.
IU knew they might have issues on this as far back as Spring 2011, but went ahead and recruited the two kids. Technically - if you want to count stickers bought by an ex-spouse from a joint account - Adams was a booster. The NCAA will punish when given the opportunity.
I hear all the time on here “the NCAA is a joke because they let North Carolina off scot-free.” The NCAA most definitely WANTED to hammer UNC, but with what? There has to be a bylaw that has been violated - and in the UNC case the NCAA had nothing to get them on.
Care to elaborate on our “cheating “ involving Adams?
Lol...it's funny thinking back on how they walked in the general admission entrance that evening..
Drew got a job with IU in exchange for Peter and Hanner and a few other Ahope players that never panned out. That is the short of it. Just like other schools hire guardians or dads of high profile players, same sort of thing just a "poor mans version" of cheating is how IU did it.
I think Jurkins high note was averaging like 6 a game at middle Tennessee State. By the way did jamarcus Ellis or deandre Thomas ever even play after iu? Never heard another thing on them.
THAT is cheating? Hiring a kid who wants to get into coaching at an entry-level position? It’s not like we hired Ed Manning . . .

It's awful cheating, and considered the same as hiring a dad of a 5 star. If IU was to rob a bank they would ask the teller for all ones, scratch that, fill up the sacks with pennies.
It for sure was cheating, Drew got hired only because of getting the Ahope players. Jurk for Drew.... IU is retarded.
Can only imagine the punishment you pass out to a kid swiping a cookie from the cookie jar . . .
The only reason this wasn’t a bigger story is because Parea and Jurkin weren’t any good.
He didn’t just buy a bumper sticker - we hired Adams’s son in a prominent role in the AD. And Adams pushed these kids to IU.
If Parea turned out to be Zion, this would’ve been a huge story/controversy/scandal.

Bullshit.
“prominent role in the AD”? Director of Basketball Ops is a “prominent” role?
YDS
So just where in that article does it say Drew Adams had a "six-figure job at Indiana"? It didn't.
It did, however, say this:
“Crean praises Adams as a bright coaching prospect, a tireless worker and underpaid at that, suggesting he turned down considerably more money to return home to Bloomington. And if he hadn't hired Adams, some other brand-name program would have, he says. “
And this
“Crean recalls first meeting Drew Adams and his father at the Final Four in San Antonio shortly after landing the Indiana job, but says it wasn't Mark Adams who pushed the hiring of Drew. Instead, it was Tim Buckley, an IU assistant who had been on Steve Alford's staff at Iowa when Drew was a walk-on.”
Again, where is the link to Drew Adams being paid six figures? Or just admit you really don't know what you're talking about - as usual . . .
Of course they said that. Did you read the rest of the article?
And I can’t find what it paid in 2011-2012 but last year it looks like that position paid $200k.

You obviously didn't - if you think it says Drew Adams was paid a Six-figure salary as an Indiana Basketball assistant coach. And Adams didn't work for Indiana in 2011-12, so even if you found that info what would it matter? It wouldn't.

It doesn't.
Feepaw is confused - again.
I read that article, and the only money I saw was the $200,000 donations.
I guess feepaw has only been wrong one time...once again.
Why don’t you prove that I’m wrong?
Director of Basketball Ops is a prominent, well paid position. It always has been. That job for IU in 2018 paid $200k. And yes, scroll up for the link.
You posted ANOTHER bogus link. That link does not show the Dir. of Basketball Ops making 200k. That's an AD. Brian Walsh had the job last year. He made 79k...

You made the statement. So provide proof that Drew Adams, as video coordinator/Director of Basketball Operations from 2009 to 2011, made a six-figure salary.
I’d tell you to get a clue, but it’s clear you don’t have the capacity to even comprehend what that is.
I think at some point you really just have to take a step back and admire someone like Fpeaugh. It takes a real man to repeatedly show your face for continuously being so wrong on so many levels. Props where it’s due.
That does it!
For p u has me fired up now!
I say we Fire Crean..., get rid of Adams..., and dump Jurkins and Perea while we're at it!!!!!
Oh..., we already did all that... ooops... my bad..., how silly of me to read one of his posts again...

Every single person in this thread focused on the statement that he made “100 k a year”. Funny that no1 is refuting that he was hired to get Peter and Hanner... idiots do this in business all the time when they are wrong. Focus on a detail that doesn’t matter to draw attention away from the real problem. He was not qualified, he’s not bright, and the only reason he got the job was daddy. That is cheating, he would have not got that job anywhere else in the country.
The statement if hanner turned into Zion this would have been a huge deal is 100% fact. Adams told peter and hanner they were going to IU because his son got a job. That is blatant cheating if he made 60k or 200k a year.

It's not blatant cheating. Where in the NCAA rule book does it prohibit a member institution hiring the son of a booster? It doesn't. Just like it isn't illegal to hire AAU coaches or high school coaches of a recruit. You're talking out of your ass.
What IU did is no different than what Memphis did when they hired Penny Hardaway who had coached half of these recruits in high school or Mike Miller whose brother runs the AAU program that half these recruits play for. It's not cheating in the slightest.
Guess you missed this part, huh?
“Crean recalls first meeting Drew Adams and his father at the Final Four in San Antonio shortly after landing the Indiana job, but says it wasn't Mark Adams who pushed the hiring of Drew. Instead, it was Tim Buckley, an IU assistant who had been on Steve Alford's staff at Iowa when Drew was a walk-on.”
Tim Buckley knew him from Drew's time at Iowa. Then after two years at IU getting into coaching (after 2 years as a student assistant at Tennessee), Adams left to join Steve Alford's staff at New Mexico. He is currently an assistant at Bradley.
Yes, Drew got the entry-level position because of his connections - like every other person who has ever gotten into the coaching business. No one has disputed that whatsoever.
What IS in question, however, is the entry-level video coordinator job being a "prominent position" that is "a six figure job". So, please, show us where Drew Adams came on board to Tom Crean's staff at Indiana as video coordinator making $100K or more?
Or are you one of those people you posted about above - idiots that try to turn the focus elsewhere when they are wrong?

It's called "connections". EVERYONE in college basketball uses them.
When Chris Collins was recruiting Bryant McIntosh to Northwestern, he brought in Jon Scheyer to help show BMac what Chris could do for him at NU. Purdue whined and bitched about it in true Broilee fashion.
Only those with an axe to grind or an agenda will complain about someone else's connections. Connections and relationships are the heart of college basketball - and if you don't know that, you really don't know anything about college basketball at all.
And, we're back. Any proof of the 6 figure job yet?
But show proof that he didn't make it...
Oh wait, the current director of operations only makes 79k which he didn't address.
But he always admits when he's wrong, right?
