Short of needing to win it to get in the NCAA tournament, I don’t and never will give two shits about the big ten tournament. It would be nice to have better results than we’ve had, but I otherwise couldn’t care less who wins it.

I’m probably in the minority.

It's more about letting coaches have a lame duck season, I think. As for the Big Ten tournament, I think it's definitely cool to win it. I have a lot of respect for the team that wins it.

I'd rather it didn't exist, though.
 
Who really knows he still signed off of it. He also praised woodson when he hired him
Signed off of not firing Woodson last year? Huh?

Sure he praised him when he was hired, what else do you expect him to say?

He also mentioned QB in the initial press conference.

He also hired two baby sitters for Woodson. That indicates to me that he wasn’t sold on the hire.

Absolutely. Dolson saw the shitstorm coming and tried to protect IU basketball with Fife and Matta.
 
I have no idea why so many people think May is coaching savant
I don't know if He is a Coaching savant and would solve all our problems or not. But here is an off the cuff stat. Since the Big 10 Tournament started years ago, IU has never won a Big 10 Tournament. In one Year at Michigan May's team made it to the Tournament Championship Game and won the Tournament. For what it's worth.

With that being said could Fife be IU’s next coach?
I never got the full story of how and why Fife left Woodson's Staff. He Coached here in Fort Wayne at what was then IPFW (now Fort Wayne). Strangely enough He was a Customer of the Barber Shop I patronize, and my Barber knows Him. When I was in last month, We were talking about the Coaching situation, and asked about Fife. My Barber said that Fife wasn't Coaching this year. I then asked Him if He knew the circumstance leading to Fife's departure from IU. He replied that He understood that Fife got into an altercation with one or more players (verbal I assume) that lead to a conflict with Woodson and his departure. Anybody know anything more specific than what I was told?

I think Fife was pretty anti-NIL, which whatever merits that may have is just a non-starter for any coach today. And there was the rumor that he was talking politics in the locker room.

I mean, yeah. After Friday's games, it doesent do any teams any good. Having to worry about injuries and burnout/fatigue. Its all about $$$.
 
people with a lot of money thought they could just buy a winner. like they do in the nba

in college , contrary to popular belief....coaching does matter

competent coaching anyway
I don't follow NIL, but didn't Michigan have to buy players to field a team? It appears they just bought better players than we did.

the fact we have never won it is proof of the depths to which we've sunk.
