Do you think it’s harder for a person with a huge ego to manage others that have an ego? Just something I’ve wondered.

Calling it now, We do not make the tourney next year.
Wondering what the price is for Big Z?
I agree with this. I recall seeing rumors that was Tim Anderson's target destination when his indefinite leave of absence was announced.

So which one is the cancer? Brad? Tyler? Hamer? All of them?

It is the NCAA’s fault for having arcane rules that the courts reasonably ruled were unfair restraint of trade. They’re compounding the issue by ignoring the core problem which is the inability to have formal contracts simply to maintain the student-athletes’ non-employee status.
Ugh.
Ok Keyshawn Hall is admittedly one of my favorite players in the country to watch.
He’s TJ-esque….
Let’s get him.

Seasons over: Ben Humrichouse cant hurt you anymore, the nightmare is over.
Transfer portal opens: it's a nightmare inside of a nightmare, Ben can hurt you anytime anywhere.

The question is why he developed more elsewhere.
I hate to bring his name up again, but...Podz 2.0. Not related to playing time but results with another team 
How'd that work out in 22-23?
Not sure if this is accurate or not but it would make sense.
I have been fully on board that Morez leaving is the coaches fault but this is some bs. I love Morez and think he can be great but who gives af if Ben started to begin the year? Transferring because of something like that is soft as hell. Morez turned it on late but starting him from day one would not happen on most good teams. He can’t shoot and is an undersized 5 who was very foul prone. Slow rolling him was a smart move and would have happened on any competent team

Why the Sam Hill was he getting paid? Redonkulous!!! What’s he got on Brad?
Ding ding ding. I think this is the winner.
Brad is old school, kind of a hard !!!, and I don't think he endears himself well to his players. In his defense, I don't think he sees that as his role. I think that speaks to the NIL world leaving him behind a little bit.
To those downplaying the impact that playing Ben over Morez had, I really want some of what you're smoking. That was bar none one of the dumbest things I've ever seen at IL. He finally figured it out and then started Will but good gawd man, what are you watching? If you are basing the decision on some analytics that somehow say Ben should get those minutes, I'd throw your entire data collection system in the nearest pond. Morez could see it, fans could see it, and Brad just continued trotting Ben out there. Unfathomable.
I didn't want this but players turn pro, leave, graduate, and transfer and each of them can be replaced. There are other very good or even better players out there. I didn't want Rez to leave but there are more options in the pool and there may or may not be a Derick Queen but there could be some as good or better than Rez. I didn't want him to go but we have had All Americans and lottery picks and we will again. Maybe even next season . There are a lot of capable player out there BU just needs to find them again.
Boz, Tomi, Trey, are three good starters and a huge iffy maybe Will with the $$ available we should be able to find at least another player. Or two. Who heard of Tomi or KJ thus time last year?

I sure hope this isn’t TA ruining kids careers over his own grievances with the school for not paying him OA money as a way to get back at Brad/Josh
But it sure seems that way

And we don’t know yet what the trio of Smith, Loyer and Kauffman-Renn will do if/when they’re eliminated from the tournament. Surely there will be programs dangling big bags for those guys, especially Smithband TKR. And Purdue hasn’t been known for its willingness to play the portal game at full speed.
Man what a crap day. I was so much looking forward to watching the sweet sixteen games mixed in with a little Cubs baseball. Oh well, I will cheer on whoever dons the orange and blue next year. But this staff needs to figure something out sooner than later.
If we have even 90% roster turnover from a team that could return everyone…..idk man. I may be done for a few years
That’s a Big Ten officials issue as well. They always pick on Freshmen and always have. Do they think they are teaching them something? The Freshman quick whistle is like getting hazed in the Big 10/18. Also see KJ in the MSU game.
to be fair , it’s not that simple
if a classic car is worth 50,000 , and that has been established for years via numerous auctions , the fact some one off sale for 100,000 occurs , doesn’t change the market price by itself . now if it occurs a few times hence , maybe
a true market price really needs to be sustainable
