I am disappointed to hear this, but not surprised. Tim Garl has been with IU's basketball program since 1981.
Tim Garl's is Gone
- Thread starter Pryght
- Start date
He has been a fixture for a long long time. I hope someone looks out for him if he needs help.
There are enough successful players over the years that I would hope he'll be ok. With that being said, surley he's put back an impressive retirement.
Lawsuit related? I wonder if that's not the real reason for it.
Nothing should be renewed for a 45th season. You wish the man well and give him thanks for an excellent career. No chance he would be the best fit for his position, same as Rink. Time to enjoy retirement and let young blood work long hours and do the best job.
Lots of good Ol’ boy stuff going away it seems. Not saying these guys didn’t do a good job but IU and Dolson seem to be cleaning house. Isn’t there a new sports medicine facility in the works?
Tim - Please write a book on Leadership. What an amazing career that started on Bear Bryant’s staff.
Gosh I hope there is a new facility like that coming. Build something badass right amongst Cook Hall, Assembly Hall, Memorial Stadium. Sports medicine is a huge part of the business side of sports...make Indiana THE destination for bright young aspiring doctors, trainers, therapists, physiologists, nutritionists. And let the sports teams be their "lab" work. Win/win.
Tim could write a hell of a book about his time with the IU basketball program if he chooses; hopefully he doesn’t.
He has been here a long time. It is time to get a new guy here. He will always be appreciated for his service. That won't change.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t let him go but linking this action to the pending lawsuit might be problematic.
Tim Garl is Knight, Davis, Sampson, Crean, Miller, Woodson. He's been highly respected for a long time.
More like throwing away a meteorite and saying you are getting all the rocks out of the lawn.
He should of retired on his own terms. Is Larry Rink going to be back? What's next candy stripes gone and names on the back of jerseys.
I wondered that as well. What I read, and reported in the media likely means it is false, was that he was named because he told Knight but that was felt not to be enough.
1981-2024 is 43 years. Should be close to retirement but not a great way to go out. Seems IU could have done something different to reward 4 decades.
They seem to think NIL money will last without winning or tradition or having integrity.
With Garl, they should have asked him to retire with dignity. The man has been literally the most dedicated member of the basketball program since the day he got there.
I think this is on Scott's list. I hope it happens.
The facility we have is pretty damned good though.
Maybe they did ask him to retire and he refused. Maybe his lawyers told him not to retire. Hard telling what happened here under the circumstances
Good point. There may be more money for Garl this way. Perhaps another law suit. Who knows. Having no inside info, at this point in time, to me it is a negative on IU.
Never assume IU administration will have the back of someone who devoted a career to them.
I wouldn't mind names on the jerseys, NIL has made it so you just get to recognizing these guys and then they're gone. Kids today want everyone to know who they are.
Just put a QR code on the back of their shirts you can scan them and get their names and all their stats and their social media and their NIL deal details.
We need to push boomers out of most positions. Lord knows they wont leave themselves even if they are burning the place down.
You cant be an asshole and not also win. Dude stopped winning. This is the lesson every asshole needs to learn.
