BU I know you’re out there!!! I’m ready for the next grand slam hire to be announced.
Shoulda farted in the catcher's face to throw him off and get it out of your system before you run the bases. Rookie mistake.What if it's just a triple off the wall..... and we fart and fall down rounding second base?
I was always under the assumption a fart propels youWhat if it's just a triple off the wall..... and we fart and fall down rounding second base?

Started his slide a little too soon....if talented enough one can still recover and get there safelyWhat if it's just a triple off the wall..... and we fart and fall down rounding second base?
Did not expect what just happened.Looks like Brad Stevens is no longer an option /s
but Danny Ainge is now available?Did not expect what just happened.
He'd miss out on just about every marque recruit he was rumored to land. Sounds a bit like Chin, actually.but Danny Ainge is now available?
Actually, this is setting up perfectly for him to take over as IUs coach in the near future. IU would have had him this time but for the midseason issue. But now that he's in the front office he'll be able to pack up and leave anytime.Looks like Brad Stevens is no longer an option /s
Part of me is hoping the Celtics go after Mike Woodson for head coach.Looks like Brad Stevens is no longer an option /s
Would be hilarious. Brad Stevens actively breaking the hearts of all IU fans.Part of me is hoping the Celtics go after Mike Woodson for head coach.
Wouldn't they just elevate Thad Matta, who is probably a better HC than Woodson right now?Would be hilarious. Brad Stevens actively breaking the hearts of all IU fans.
Highly doubt his back can take the strain.Wouldn't they just elevate Thad Matta, who is probably a better HC than Woodson right now?

I never looked at Antigua as a long term assistant for Illinois. To me, he was just a hired gun. Come in, bring some good recruits and leave. I thought he would go to Kansas, just because Self loves to stick it to Illinois or he would rehabilitate his rep and get another head coaching position. The move to Kentucky did surprise me, but it will be easier to bring some high level recruits to Lexington and then he can leverage that into another head coach job.What do these statements even mean?
I don't believe guys are evaluated in the lens of, this guy is going to make a mild impact and slow turnaround vs this guy is gonna be high impact fast turnaround. You simply choose from what you think are the best guys available that fit your coaching/recruiting philosophy and always with the expectation that you will be able to turn it around and compete quickly. You don't consider anything less than that.
What long game is there to play and what is our position of strength? Especially now that players can transfer at will, expect to see lots of departures with even minor coaching staff changes (not saying that this will necessarily happen to us). However, these nebulous ideas are the types of things that can destroy you. It's a cutthroat arms race and a tactical challenge, and you need to bring it every single year if you want to compete for championships.
In hindsight, I think one can reasonably argue that BU struck gold in assembling the previous staff, and the final payoff was a ranking and seeding that we could have only dreamed about. BU's hyperbole scares me because of how high the bar has been set, and he has a lot of pressure on him to assemble anything worthy of the previous staff.
Yeah, I had back pain for a couple of days and wouldn't wish that on anyone (except Pearl). I hear Matta is a good guy and glad he's able to coach again, albeit in a limited capacity.Sad situation, Matta is in a wheelchair most of the day.
And IMHO Duke will go just as some of the greats have.............UCLA, IU, back to normal levels of success OR WORSE if they follow K's coaching tree.Per Jeff Goodman, Coach K will retire after this upcoming season.
Scheyer is the heir apparent to the Duke job.And IMHO Duke will go just as some of the greats have.............UCLA, IU, back to normal levels of success OR WORSE if they follow K's coaching tree.
