IT'S TRUE: Donovan was in Bloomington today
- Thread starter fpeaugh
- Start date
Timing could be better now. Money or a different challenge? Dunno.
I have no sources or insider knowledge so that was just what my gut tells me. Perhaps my gut is swayed this way to help me believe that Indiana is still a powerful enough brand to bring in a high profile coach from another power conference school instead of having to gamble on up-and-comers like lesser schools would have to.
Okay, I might have this wrong, but isn't Justin Albers the one who the rest of the Hoosier media kind of looks askance at, not because he is wrong, but because he'll tell everything he knows.
Roy Williams turned down the UNC job, then took it a couple years later. It happens. History and circumstances are different, but people do take jobs they've previously turned down.
I suppose you are right. I hope you are right.
Bennett was my first choice when Crean was hired.
Exactly right. In 2008 he would be leaving an inferior program for a superior one on probation; now he would be leaving an inferior program for a superior program not on probation.
Media in OKC are all confirming he was with his team today and at event hosted by Russell Westbrook tonight. Unlike all of these supposed sightings in Bloomington, there are actually pictures of him in Oklahoma City. Too funny how many people got suckered by this.
Albers isn't now nor has he ever been a reliable source of information about IU basketball. He's been badly fooled on this non-event.
I get the excitement. Who wouldn't be with a big name like Donovan.
Pretty credible guys like Royce Young have reiterated tonight that not only was he not in Bloomongton - he's not interested in the job.
This OP is trolling the shit out of people.
I get the excitement, too. But there's some stuff being stated that just isn't true.
Are you saying you think Bryce Drew is leaving Vanderbilt after one year to come to IU? That's not believable.
Somone reported on 247 that there is plane going from Bloomington to Charlottsville tomorrow but who knows what that really pertains to.
Last week you said for months IU was going to make the firing decision, yet Glass said he made the decision the night before he pulled the trigger. One of you is lying. Either you or Glass. Which is it?
That site isn't reliable. Unfounded rumors are encouraged because they create clicks, and that's what they want. Do yourself a favor and don't fall for anything there.
Wait, so you're saying Crean built the program back from inferior to superior?
It is more reliable than the other boards and I spend a lot more time there because you can actually have real discussion. They were right about Crean getting fire when the other boards was saying he was definitely coming back. I use to come here more but the last 3 weeks I have not been posting on here very much.
That's probably a win-win for you and this board that you post there. And that board is totally unreliable.
Very far from the truth. Maybe you just like the atmosphere where everyone argues. Most of the posters over there are very knowledgeable about the game and have been right on most things
The problem with FlightAware is that it doesn't tell you who is aboard. And, dagnabbit! What was the special that I misssed. Please tell me it was the stroms. I love Nicks' stroms!
