Is it too soon for the 2025 coach thread?

The game is 40 minutes not 20, and while you accuse people of ignoring the 1st half you ignore the 2nd. That's called hypocrisy. IU won by *45, same as Illinois and went up in efficiency. the 1st half doesn't matter in the win column and the game is a very small positive in the ranking systems. Take a seat, STFU and whine when there's actually something to whine about.
lol ... ^^ can't do simple math.

*35
 
Woody probably won't pan out, but most you guys whining about him loved Tom Crean, so...

You probably also thought it was cool when Tim and Karen sold their T Tech gear on Banta and Southport during or 2002 F4 run.

****ing traitors.
Traitors?

Bro, it's sportsball. It's a bunch of dudes chasing a ball around for 40 minutes.

Calm down.

You people are silly.
 
When I think of what coach runs the best offense AND pressures the perimeter, it's Josh Schertz. Could he recruit at a high level? If by some means we are in the market for a new coach next year, my money would be on Pearl.

I’m doubtful that we’ll be shopping for a new coach. While some feel that our boosters spending top 5 money puts pressure on MW to perform, I’ll fade that opinion and say the job pressure is now entirely off of him.

They spent so much money that it is assured he’ll be back. This team is making the NCAAs even if the wheels fall off.
 
Whenever the time comes, I highly doubt it's Pearl. He's old with baggage... admin not going to love that and overall he's not too appealing vs. other options. And I don't think we get a big name, that's hard to do nowadays. Plug into a good X's and O's staff to our big NIL and we can do very well...

Pssst...it's different movie bro...pay attention.

This is exactly what I mean. It's like none of you can comprehend that if you give a chef, shitty ingredients, he might be able to make an ok meal...but if you give him good ingredients, the chances of good a really good meal, go up exponentially. This is not difficult. You all sound bitter,and childish. If you can't see differences in the gameplay,that's on you.

There's 0 chance they don't win 13 BIG10 games...barring major injury.
How is today's meal tasting?

Were you born this dumb or did you have to work at it?
 
I'd take any of the coaches from Creighton, Drake, St Louis, or Iowa State. Just off top of my head. I'm sure there are better.

I'm not sure Pearl would come now.
The beauty of turning to someone that lacks character is there is always a number that entices them… I say that as someone that is perfectly fine with Pearl and his lack of scruples. I’m done being an honorable loser.

Im a Kentucky fan and none of you care what I think, but you guys missed an huge opportunity not firing Woodson and bringing on Dusty May last season. If Im IU I back up the Brinks truck and bring in Dusty at end of season...if it's not too late.
 
Not sure IU job is attractive as it used to be or not—might have to gamble on someone like Schertz or Medved

Also don’t buy the premise that Dolson could still get May any time he wants to make the call
 
Some on the other site say he really isn't in charge of the men's basketball program. That Buckner and big donors run it. I hope they are wrong.
Well, this is where Dolson needs to read the tea leaves in the bank on itself line PR battle against Buckner… this is where you look Quinn in the eye and you say that one of us has to be elected and you are going to need an awfully legitimate excuse to this miss me after what the football team has pulled off. There are always sports writers that will be happy to help you put your spin on it if you provide them with a story.

That's been said here too. I agree, especially when you contrast it with the Cignetti hiring. I don't think Cignetti told him "If you want to hire Curt Cignetti, you need to come see Curt Cignetti ", followed immediately by getting on plane and meeting with him the next day.

Think about the balls it took for Woodson to pull that shit. You don't do that unless your potential boss has his boss is in his ear about it being the direction you need to go. You know Buckner had have had all that worked out already and told Woodson it was a done deal.
 
If Quinn still supports Woodson he wants the program to lose. The product on the court is indefensible.
